Oh my!!! Maybe I can help a bit with your ant problem, June, even if I may not have found the solution to my potential problem. In Israel we have this gel type substance that comes in a tube. You put down 2 or 3 drops in the area where you know that there are ants. The workers are attracted to the stuff, gulp it up and bring it to their queen and it kills off the entire nest no matter where it is hidden. The stuff is called “Queen Gel”. Maybe there is something similar where you are. It is pet and children safe and can be used near foodstuffs.
Yes, Sandra I was talking about the sugar sheets made of sugar and corn syrup. I really don’t want to chance an invasion. This cake is for mid September so I still have time to problem solve :)
