There is a canning thread

Thanks for the links. I've got all the canning equipment but I've only ever made pickled eggs yet.

me either, a boiled egg never last long enough around here, Save your pickle juice and toss them in -in the refrigerator.

I have one that everyone ( except me) raved about - it has quite a bit of vegetable oil in it.  If you are interested, I can post recipe tomorrow evening?

For some reason I missed this post sunflour...that would be great if you would post it, thank you!

Oh, I've got plenty of eggs, just no room to do anything at the moment, my kitchen is a disaster-area until I sort out the cupboards that I have pulled everything out of and then lost control.

I thought I was the only one that did that.
It usually starts when I notice some crumbs in the silverware drawer... and then 'Kablamo!". One thing leads to another and w have to eat out for the rest of the week.

So I want to make a blue cake for thing 2 second Birthday. She worships her big sister and big sis is very into princesses, so little sis is into princesses. I thought I would try to make a princess cake. I have a bunch of tiered cake pans, thought I would make a three tiered blue cake with purple frosting between the layers and pink frosting over the cake. I found some little purple candy pearls for decoration. I would love to decorate more, but do not think I have the skill. I am limited with what I can buy because I have one little boy who is severly allergic to peanuts. Any great ideas?

I don't have kids or really decorate anything

...but, what about flowers?
Do you happen to have any Violets in bloom? Either fresh or sugared it might make a pretty princess cake.
Trying to think out of the box

When I was a little kid, my mum used to make Dolly Varden cakes for my birthday. They are very easy, you just bake the cake and then stick a barbie doll in it, decorate the cake as the doll's skirt. It is very princess-y and you can go as over-the-top on the dress as you like.

EDIT: here's a cake shop with how they look
