Mona Lisa's Smile

Have you ever seen this movie? Pretty good. I am not a feminist by any means, but I am not the traditional old fashioned housewife thus far. Although someday when Bill becomes rich and I can afford to stay in our white picket fenced home with our two perfect chitlens, have eggs and bacon every morning, cook a 5 course meal, from scratch, for dinner, clean our casa top to bottom and organize our spice rack, and have the paper and slippers ready for Bill as he walks in the door from his long 9-5 day, maybe then I could become one of those old fashioned housewives. Or maybe I will be the soccer mom, forget about the 5 course meal cause a cheese sandwich and tomato soup is what the kiddles rather have, slippers and paper (what person under the age of retirement has time for these? J/K grandma!), but still have eggs for breakfast, minus the bacon. But as for now I will just continue to stick my hands in peoples bodies, that sounds a little more up my alley.

Back on subject, I have been volunteering myself lately to bake things for different occasions. I am a pretty good baker, although I can't actually cook anything. But I decided to spice things up a little bit from my ordinary deserts that I usually bake. These cupcakes actually turned out pretty cute, and these red velvet cupcakes the talk of something yummy for the bridal shower and dinner they were made to go with.

Anyway, what made me think of Mona Lisa's smile, besides that my name is kinda in it, is when I was making this honey bun cake. It is just white powdered sugar frosting on top and I was bored with that. So I threw in some food coloring and tada... Doesn't it look like the art piece in the movie? But you know the saying, "a good artist is one that knows when the piece is done, and it's time to stop", well I guess I should have ended it before the big blob in the middle formed! Ha, I guess I better leave the art work to my madre'.

Good thing our friends have a little chitlen, I am sure he doesn't care about the blob. It's all about the taste anyways, right?
This is my most famous work. Waa waa waa (that is supposed to sound like the seagull in the Little Mermaid).
And this is work of someone who knows what they are doing. But maybe someday I.... (yeah right)

Umm you are a better decorater than i am! lets just say i'm surprised frosting even gets to the cake. Well it looks like there is just some talent ready to explode :) (that could be good or bad whichever you want) Watch out martha stewart...watch out!
