Is It Done Yet?

When I made my Orange Twist Cake last week, I went to my trusty toothpick holder, only to find it empty.  I searched the cupboards, and there was not a toothpick in sight.  Oh no, what to do!  I always insert a toothpick in the center of my cake, just like my mom had taught me too. 

Then I remembered, my mom would use a strand of uncooked spaghetti when she found the box of toothpicks empty.

She would insert it just like it was a toothpick, and if it came out clean or with a couple of crumbs, the cake was done.  This little trick really worked!  Thanks again, Mom!

I have been beyond busy the last couple of weeks.  I am the Executive Producer for Passion Play Ministries International.  It is a drama ministry that is in 15 cities around the world.  This last week we trained groups from three new cities and did further training with an existing city.  I trained people on how to paint the sets and make and apply special effects make-up.

The set for scene one.
