Stella1952 Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 That top looks GOOD!! Hopefully, the CO will diminish any frosting issues you may have had also! When do we get to burn it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stella1952 Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Me, I'd TRY to wait 7-14 days just to check for frosting issues, etc. but it'd be hard to hold out that long... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
