This is so great Jenn! I am working on one too (but I've got cakes to bake before I can complete it). Isn't it fun to see not just the evolution of yourself as a baker but also as a photographer? My eye stopped on your Bostini thumbnail and now I am craving one. This is just so awesome. Congratulations!
ECL, it was really fun to put this together. And yes I do see the evolution as a photographer. I remember each photo shot fondly! Funny, I crave for the bostini too!
oh and I was curious--what is the size of your thumbnails? they look bigger than the 75x75 square option flickr gives and i think i like it better. if you wouldn't mind me copying you, that is :)
A fantastic congratulations to you on finishing. It has been really fun. I consider all of the wonderful Heavenly cake bakers as good friends! Thank you for hosting!!
ECL, my thumbnail is 110x110 pixels. And copy away! I'm looking forward to seeing your collage.
Mendy, the picture collection is made by adding tables to the html code. See this blog: http://isaacyassar.blogspot.com/2009/03/table-in-blogger.html. I think you know programming, right? So this is probably a piece of cake for you (I had to google it :)).
Beautiful set of cakes! You must have a better memory than me, though, 'cause when I did mine there were a few cakes and photographs I really couldn't recall at all. The blog posts were a lifesaver for the memory, and they really do show that I learned a lot about food photograpy along the way. Still not up to your standard, though!
If anyone comes along after this comment, my RHC summary is here, with 75x75 pixel thumbnails--that worked better for my Blogspot page layout: http://nlbarber.blogspot.com/2011/05/roses-heavenly-cakes-all-of.html I didn't use a table, but just used forced line breaks to get a reasonable layout--that took less time than putting in the table coding.
wow-jenn--i didn't see this until someone posted a private message and there it was. much congratulations. really awesome. i wish i coujld rebake my way through the book.

Thanks Vicki!
What a great summary of all the RHC cakes, Jenn. Thanks for including instructions on how to do it. I might "borrow" that idea for ABC :o)
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! I like this! Such a great idea!
