slpteach2 - thanks for your comment! I used a regular loaf pan I'm sorry I don't know the measurements however you could use a pound cake and just cut it the same way. As for how to cut the cake into shape, under the second photo from the top there is a link to the Parenting.com site where I found the cake. There is a detailed description of how to cut the cake. I hope this helps and good luck with the party!!

I didn't get a chance to read the comments on the other post about sheets but please check out Garnet Hill. Their sheets are heavenly and I mean, sleeping on a cloud while being warmed by the sun and having a chocolate IV kind of heavenly. My They are also always a little wrinkled but super soft and the flannel feels you're sleeping on giant marshmallows. Also they have unusual designs. I see Seabiscuit there - how do you like it so far?

A favorite kitchen tool - the mini citrus juicer or lemon reamer/strainer thingie as I call it.

So I love this thing. It is awesome. It's a lemon reamer and strainer all in one. Kicks some serious citrus heiny. The ribbed lid grips that lemon like nobody's business. Cut your lemon in half. Stick it on the... Continue reading
