Tuesday was a very busy day for me. As soon as I got my daughter and my wonderful husband out the door and on the way to their school, I turned to oven onto 325 degree and that is where it stayed until it was time to pick up Sara from school that afternoon.
Wednesday was the 1st culinary show for the Midsouth Fair and I had a lot of baking to get done the 24 hours before the items were due at the judges table. I started out with making the cakes for my Lemonade Cake (my mother in laws recipe) I knew they needed to cool completely and then chill in the frig. for a bit so I could do my crumb coat of the lushes whipped frosting. This cake has to stay cool or all the lemon frosting will run down the sides.
Next I moved onto Divinity, oh such a lovely candy that so few can make. Not really sure why or how it is so hard to achieve but for most I have spoken to, the perfect divinity has always been out of their reach. I actually use my grandmother's recipe for seafoam. I can't really see the difference in the two recipes but maybe it is the way I was taught by her and what to watch for as the hot sugar mixture is mixing away with the whipped egg white and just as it loses that shiny glisten you add the broken up pecans.
