2. Bake in a 375° regular or convection oven until puffs are golden, 25 to 35 minutes; if baking the sheets at the same time in one oven, switch their positions halfway through.

Designer Wedding Dress for just $60.00
By Carlise (Carla) Shepperd
This wedding dress pictured above is a Casablanca design and is currently available at www.ScarlettsCloset.com for only $60.00 because it is a Fixer Dress. What that means it that is has a few problems that the buyer would need to fix. What are these problems? Well, it has no veil and it's in a Size 8 but in great condition though. It does however have a faint cosmetic stain inside neckline and it is soiled on the straps! Also, the over-skirt on the train needs to be re-sewn but these things are minor and all you need is one trip to the dry cleaner to get these minor problems solved.
At Scalett's Closet you can also find "Inexpensive Wedding Dresses" and there are some steals and deals in the clearance section. So to all you bronze budget brides, be sure to visit them online at www.ScarlettsCloset.com and don't shy away from the fixer section because you might find a Designer original for far less than you'd ever imagine!
Platinum Brides Boutique
By Brittany RI was just wondering if any of you have ordered a gown from Platinum Brides Boutique? There dresses look amazing! I also noticed that the dresses are the same designs that designers Jim Hjelm, Lazaro and Maggie Sottero have. Are the dresses Knock offs or do they actually have the designer tags in them? Why are there prices so low? What was your experience like with them? Any comments would be great! Thank You!
