[Sca-cooks] Hat was favorite cicada lymerics; YAK

[Elaine Koogler]

I thought that the sugarplate looked very much like fabric, though it's 
hard to tell from the pictures, especially the texture. The drapery also 
looks quite convincing. You done good, kid!

I wish I could take credit for the cherry torta, but they were the 
creation of my newest apprentice, Lady Christiana Irina Chaykinaia, from 
Lochmere. She really worked hard on them, but was unable to attend the 
event as she found herself suffering from food poisoning...friends took 
her out to dinner for her birthday. Sigh. I provided only the recipe and 
a few suggestions regarding cheeses, etc.

I had a lot of help, from you and others on this list, not to mention 
your own Baroness Cordelia and Lady Ro...and, of course, the wonderful 
folk from Dun Carraig.

I'm still trying to clean up loose ends, and will then will post my view 
of how the whole thing went.
