Way back in the fall, somebody had posted a "what is on your Christmas wish list" thread.
I commented that I really wanted KopyKake projector, to use to project images on to fondant so I can cut out logos and figures for cakes (instead of printing paper, cutting out paper, and then holding paper and cutting around it to get my shapes). But they are $300+, so not on the books this year, as we were doing a family vacation instead.
Lostinspace sent me a pm, and said she had one, and would sell it to me for $100. Yay!
Well, the planets FINALLY aligned, I had the cash, and she happened to be rolling through my neck of the woods (we are a good 2.5 hours away from each other).
So TODAY I got my KopyKake, AND got to meet the sweetest Pea!
Thanks Lostinspace!! It was lovely to meet you, and I can't wait to play with my new toy!!

I would love to meet Peas. Back when I lived in Atlanta, we would have crops at Archivers and I met all sorts of great people there. Here in NM, I haven't met anyone. If anyone is coming through Santa Fe - send me a message. I would love to meet you, and I can point you to all the cool places that tourists may not see.  |

Neither of us thought to take one!! How many peas does it take to use a camera? More than two, apparently!  I think it's interesting to meet someone when all you know about them is what you read in threads etc! Having said that, I met people from a photography forum once or twice and in some cases kind of wished I hadn't! |

Awesome! I've met quite a few peas over the years and it's cool to actually talk to them in person isn't it?

My friend's store that I work out of is in Kitchener. I'm here hit and miss - no real set schedule, just when she needs me. And as for me - I don't have a storefront, strictly custom, out of a commercial kitchen in my basement. But I do sell cupcakes down at I Love Chocolate in downtown Fergus. I deliver there Monday, Wednesday & Friday mornings around 11:30. There used to be a bakery - Sweet & Simple, but they closed a few years ago. We don't have a bakery in the main street any more. Maybe at Fergies? They are a caterer and sell cookies/treats as well.... |

But the pig cookies I have no idea! |

okay, i was a little confused in my post!! the stone croft bakery is in st jacob's on the main drag - it's a restaurant on one side and bakery on the other (mennonite run i believe). whenever i go to my mom's trailer... we go to fergus and/or st jacob's so i got them mixed up! and to clarify.... they sell these amazing pig cookies, the are big and almost like white cake. they have pink icing with chocolate chips for eyes, a marshmallow (with dots painted on) for a nose and 2 pieces of strawberry wafer cookies for ears. they are really cute but so yummy - my mom will get me a box of six from the bakery for a treat (i hide them in my freezer so rest of my family cannot find them). yes, i am in my 40s and get really excited about pig cookies. i think they may be totally nutritionally complete as well... when i had morning sickness with my first, they were one of the only things i could keep down!  |
