Starting Off The New Year, 2018

A new year has just begun.  I can imagine that we all have some new thoughts and plans for 2018.  May your plans be reality and no longer dreams.
I hadn't posted anything lately.  I'll go back and sum up 2017.
January -  Vendor at Calwa Park as the graffiti artist repaint the wall.
February-  Valentines Day
March- Saint Patrick's Day
April- Easter
May- Soul Food Festival at Bidwiz, downtown Fresno.  I was a vendor. 
         My granddaughter is graduating from High School and was accepted to The Academy Of Arts College in               San Francisco.  She received a sports scholarship in Volleyball.  Congratulations Kimiah!
June- Summer vacation starts right after school lets out this month.  
          Juneteenth Celebration at Gaston Middle School.  
July - Independence Day
August - Barbecue Festival at Bidwiz, 2nd event.  I was a vendor for this event.  It was like a block party.                        Dancing, eating, music, etc.
          Schools are back in.
          My nephew got married and I donated the wedding cake.
September - Family trip to San Francisco to move my granddaugther into the dorms.     
October - Big Fresno Fair.  I entered and won 1st place and "best of the show" in cake decorating.  I have won                for 3 years straight. 
November- Seafood Festival at Bidwiz.  I was a returning vendor for this event.  Another success.  All of the                   festivals were put on by Adrian Harris, CEO of Black Wall Street and Vibe.
           Everyone got together to give thanks as we celebrated Thanksgiving.
December - I participated in smaller vendor events thoughout the year.
            The reason for the season, "Christmas".  Celebrating the birth of our Messiah, Jesus Christ!

I may have forgotten somethings, but the blessing of memories is enjoying them when they return.

My Granddaughter needs your support

Today my message is about my granddaughter.  She is a senior at Bullard High School in Fresno, California and her volleyball school season has come to an end.  She has been blessed to play club volleyball for 6 seasons, starting at age 12.

 My granddaughter's disavantage is that she grew up in a single parent home with 3 other sibblings and her mom (my daughter).  Being active in club volleyball isn't cheap.  The expenses were a constant challenge, but God has continously made a way.

My granddaughter, Kimiah wishes to continue to play as she attends college, but has yet to be recruited.  She has been invited to play for one of the top clubs in California that is also ranked 41st club in the Nation, Rage Volleyball Club.  Playing for a top ranking club will give her great exposure.

A  gofundme account has been set-up to offset some if not all of her expenses.  Theses expenses are:
        1.  Club fees/dues  $3000
       2. Estimated travel expenses $2000
Tournament Dates for 2017 
Northern CA / Jan. 8
San Jose / Jan. 14 - 16
Northern CA / Feb. 4
Salt Lake City, UT / Feb. 18 20
Northern CA / Feb. 26
San Mateo / Mar. 3 - 5
Anaheim, CA / Mar. 10 - 12
Spokane, WA / Mar. 24 - 26
Northern CA / Apr. 1
Dallas, TX* / Apr. 21 - 23  (Must Qualify)

Rage Volleyball Club is a 501(c)(3) and any contributions made towards her club dues are tax deductible.

Any amount of monies would be appreciated.  Thank you from the three of us, Kimiah, Erika and myself (Anita)

To send payment directly to Rage Volleyball Club for Kimiah please send to:
RAGE Volleyball Club
 Attn: Bookkeeper / Club Fees
P.O. Box 722
Ripon, CA 95366

Please be sure to note that your payment is for Kimiah (Rage 18 Greg)

That maybe a questions that some are still throwing back and forth.  It seems like Thanksgiving has come some quickly, especially since the weather hasn't changed that much.

Well, if you haven't decided yet I am baking.  I will be accepting orders until Friday November 19.   If you need Sweet Potatoe Pies, I can help you out.   I am selling the 8" pies for $10.  

I will also be baking cakes like: 7-up pound cake, Lemon pound cake.  Call me for your orders.

I competed in two categories that had live judging.
​
In the custard pie division I entered my Sweet Potatoe Pie with homemade pie crust. The crust recipe was given to me by Bobbie Jean. I won second place.
Picture
The second live judging was in the cake contest.  I entered my Layered Checkboard Cake.  I won first place in the Chocolate Cake Division.

In the live judging division, the items are judged during the fair in front of spectators.  
The rest of my items were judged before the opening of the fair.  This is called "Blind Judging".  The results are not revealed until opening day.  I listed the items below and how they placed.


I competed in six categories.  Next to the categories, I listed my item entered.  Four of the six items did not place within the range  of 1st, 2nd or 3rd place.  These categories are listed below.

1.  Made with nuts.....Chocolate chip Walnut Pie.  
2. Butter Cakes.....Whipped Cherry Buttercream 7up Cake aka "Shirley     Temple Cake". 
3. Tricks with mix.....Chocolate chip Banana Nut Bread.
4.  Cupcakes.....Shaggy Dog cupcakes.
(none of the above 4 items placed) 
5.  Novelty Decorated Cakes.....Sculptured Head Tiger Cake (2nd place)
6.  Themed Decorated Cakes.....Boxed Wine Bottle (1st place and Judge's choice).

Welcome to Nitaann's Edible Creations.
I am stepping up and using the lastest communication tools and ask that you bear with me. I hope that you'll find interesting tips, stories etc. when you login. Since I am submitting my first blog, it may seem longer than usual. I have so much that has happened recently that I wanted to share with you. Don't forget to like my pages. I will be giving away 1- 8 inch 2 layer
decorated cake valued at $65 to my 1000 likes recipient.

​Well the Big Fresno Fair has come and gone.   I hope you had a chance to get out and support our local talented community. You would have seen a variety of things.  

If you aren't familiar with The Big Fresno Fair it is the largest annual event in the Central Valley, attracting more than 600,000 people each October during its two-week run featuring exhibits, livestock shows, live horse racing, musical entertainment, educational programs and much, much more.  The Fair provides a link between the urban and rural California, serving as a tool in educating Valley residents about our agricultural industry.   The Big Fresno Fair is to "Educate, Celebrate and Have Fun",......Wikipedia  

I competed in several categories. I entered the Gingerbread House Decorating Contest with my grandson Erik. Everyone who entered was awarded a 1st place ribbon, $15 gift certificate from "Creative Cakes and More".
