[QUOTE=Dangerosa] Why would you bother when the bowl is appropriately shaped and a nipple is easy? (This is like those doll dress cakepans - any frugal mother of a little princess uses a bowl and a Barbie whose legs got chewed off by the dog. Its only those yuppie moms that buy a special pan). [/QUOTE] I was just throwing another idea out there, because I saw a cake made with that pan recently and thought it was cute. Sure, use bowls if you’re so inclined - heck, make small perky boobies out of cupcakes, if you want to. Dozens of red velvet boobies! But not out of Rice Krispies treats, because they’d be lumpy and **Ivylass** ’ boobies are lump free! And for the record, I’m creative with my cake making, which I learned from my mother, and I don’t use any of those fancy-shmancy expensive pans, just bowls and square pans and some creative geometry. Again, Yay for boooooooobies! I’m still young to get my mammys grammed, but I’ll self-check with even more care now - and enlist my boyfriend’s help. 😉 ---

Thank goodness!!! I will say that you’ve got me. I’m only 33, but with a family history of breast cancer, so I am going to go get one. I’ll tell them Ivylass sent me 😉 ---

Outstanding news, **ivylass** and I’m so glad to hear it. I did get my mashogram a couple of months ago at your urging, so thank you for making me stop procrastinating. I’ll drink a very happy toast to Lefty and Righty after work tonight! ---

What am I going to do when **ivylass** finds out it isn’t cookies in the box? I will be sending cookies, now that I know she would prefer an assortment, rather than a one kind only. But I don’t want her to be sad when she opens up the box and finds a brightly colored propellor beanie with a little blue rubber spaceship on the top. Just to cheer her up and maybe wear. I mean who would be looking at her bare scalp, with something like that on her head? ---

Yay ! Ivylass I found this web address during chemo… It’s a catalog of hats and wigs (some very cute hats 🙂 ) > **[TLC Direct - Cancer Wigs, Breast Forms, Chemo Scarves, Cancer Hats](https://www.tlcdirect.org/)** > > Cancer wigs, mastectomy bras and other cancer products from tlc are designed for cancer patients’ comfort and custom fit. We also carry breast forms, chemo scarves, breast prosthesis selections and cancer hats. I’m happy for you, Ivylass…and I have good news of my own. I had two cancer blood marker tests and the numbers used to be over 2000—very high, although I’m not sure what it’s supposed to be. On one test the number was 1000–still high but going in the right direction…the other test number was 99.5. My chief symptom was a rash at the site of my mastectomy (13 years ago) It was red and welty and actually was swollen chains of lymph nodes…The “rash” is almost gone. I’m responding to treatment! (Now you all, carry on and cheer on Ivylass…I’ll start my own thread next time.) ---

Oh, **Baker** , I know how much that means to you! I will send it back when I’m done with chemo. Come on in, Gail…plenty of celebratory fun to go around! Party! ---

Awesome news **ivylass**! I was following your story while my membership was lapsed and I’m glad to hear that everything is going so well. I don’t get squished yet, but I’m getting into the habit of doing my own exams every month. Yay for bewbs!
