My baby girl turns 4 tomorrow, so today was PICTURE DAY!!! Oh man this girl is a stinker! She posed as if the whole studio was only open for her! Out of 3, she is my only child to NOT be scared of cameras. It was hilarious.
My daughter has had major food allergies since she was a baby. Starting with 28 different foods, we are now down to 5. She is deathly allergic to eggs, and peanuts, severely allergic to wheat and cherries, and still has a mild allergy to milk. So how in the world do you make a cake for a child like her? Thankfully, many companies now make gluten free mixes that you can buy at most health food stores. Unfortunately, none are egg free. I found that if you mix potato starch, tapioca flour, and water together, it makes a great egg substitute. (most subs are still made from real egg.) I opted for a powdered egg replacer from the asian market, and it's wonderful. SEE!!
Back to work tomorrow. It will be the first early morning with the girls since before Christmas. I'm sure i'll be exhausted all week, until I get back in the swing of things.
Diet: Surprisingly well with all the cupcakes around! I kept my portions small today, and never really felt hungry. I also find myself craving fruits and veggies, instead of sugar. (ok, don't get me wrong, sometimes I just want chocolate) I'm pretty proud of myself!
I have 24 more cupcakes to frost, and then i'm off to bed! Tomorrow, 24 more cupcakes!
Till then . . .
