We Love Cake

 So, you may remember I took a cake decorating class like 3 years ago.  I did it just for fun and with no real purpose except for me to have some me time.  I posted a little about it here (beware, it includes some pictures of some of my first cakes, a little embarrassing, lol)  Little did I know how much I would love doing it!  And luckily my family, loves cake so I get lots of practice.  Below are some pictures of cakes I've made over the past few months.

I have also been asked to make some cakes for some friends which I was more than happy to do.  Like I said, I do enjoy it and I like getting practice and trying new techniques.  Recently I had my first paying gig.  It was intense and I was quite nervous but also very excited.  It was for a cake for a 100th birthday party.  I ended up making six cakes in total which was a lot of work, but also a lot of fun.  They were pretty simple for the most part, except for the Smucker's jar, but I think it came out pretty good.

Looks like this is a hobby I am actually going to keep up.  I still have TONS of room for improvement, but luckily the practice comes with delicious benefits!  :)

What to pack . . .

By
So now that he really could come ANY DAY I figured it was probably time for me to pack my bag. I of course have one of those "What to bring" checklist, but I was wondering what your thoughts where. Is there anything you wish you had brought but didn't? Is there anything you would have died without if you hadn't brought it? I'm just so clueless! A few tips from you experienced mothers would be greatly appreciated!! I cant believe it is so close!!

I need a haircut ASAP! This is me saying, "I'll smile if you ignore my hair." Don't get me wrong, I am really excited I have long hair, I love having long hair , but it needs a little TLC. It has been a few months since I have even got a trim and I am still re-couping from a not so good hair cut. The last few times I have really CUT my hair, not just a trim, I was not pleased with the results. Now it would probably help if I was willing to pay more than $10 for a hair cut . . . but I'm Mrs. High Pockets as my father calls me and it is really hard for me to spend money on my hair. So I need your help! What do you think I should do? Before you make any suggestions you should know: It MUST be able to go back into a ponytail!!!!!!! My hair is STICK STRAIGHT My hair will not curl to save my life (via over night curls, hot curls, even curling irons, they just don't work) I want and need something EASY! I do not like to spend time on my hair and I don...

No Use Crying Over Spilled Milk . . .

By
So being an emotional pregnant woman is definitely taking its tole on both me and Jeff (what a wonderful, patient, and understanding man he is). Saturday morning I was so excited because for the first time in weeks we actually had a morning together. I had planned to make us a delicious breakfast just like my dad always did for me. We had Eggs, Hashbrowns, and even Bacon; we were so excited. So I started cooking the bacon first, knowing it would take the longest. Then when I thought they were close to being done, Jeff started cooking the eggs and I threw on the hashbrowns. Well, needless to say, the eggs finished super fast and the others were not even close. And then to add more to my frustration the pan I was using for the hashbrowns was awful! Despite my many tablespoons of butter the entire thing was completely stuck! I switched pans in the middle to try to save them. In the meantime Jeff ate his eggs so they wouldn't get cold. I insisted on waiting so I could eat th...
