Dark Knight...what a night!

So, as everyone knows, the newest Batman movie Dark Knight just premiered at midnight Friday morning. The museum where I work holds the only IMAX theatre in Austin, and we hosted the premiere starting at 10pm Thursday night. So, while everyone was waiting in line to go into the theatre, my boss and I set up a concessions table out in the Rotunda and sold treats. I personally made around 300 "Bat Signal Cupcakes," dozens of "Batarang Cookies" and "Kapow! Cookies," and lots of "Batwing Truffles." I, of course, didn't have a camera on me, and wasn't able to take any pictures of these delectable goodies. Luckily for me, Fox News here in town thought my handiwork was cool enough to put on their Good Day Austin news cast on Friday morning. There is a nice story about the museum, very informative, and then right at the very end, you get to see my handiwork for about 3 seconds. I will post the link, and I expect everyone to check it out!!! This is the first time anything I have crafted made it on to the news, so I am really excited!!!

Sugar Cookie Madness!!!

Wednesday, July 9, 2008 is National Sugar Cookie Day!!!

So, naturally, we had to celebrate at the Cafe where I work. I took on this project all by myself, and ended up making something like 24 dozen sugar cookies. It was a bit over the top, but I had a little fun doing it. I took a hint from my sister, and shot some pics along the way. I will not, however, go into step-by-step detail on how I did every little thing. Enjoy!
