I had such fun with it. Actually about 4 of us were going to make it together on Twitter and everyone else bailed out at the last minute, but I still had fun. I love how yours is braided...mine was just a single rope. Next year I am going to make a braided version. This year, one of the guys on Twitter who is a bread baker made a braided one, then piped Bavarian Cream Cheese icing through it at the end before frosting it. OMW did that look wonderful...going to try that next year. Yours looks just beautiful!Kaytehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04892296035070233639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6163770583663178916.post-67642491196503148222010-02-16T10:41:50.017-05:002010-02-16T10:41:50.017-05:00I have the book too - I love it!
