Stacked Baby Block Cake

Well, after hearing about the royal baby's arrival, I thought it would be fitting to share my stacked baby block cake! Each block was a 6" x 6" x 6" block, covered in buttercream and decorated with marshmallow fondant accents. I also hand molded the pink elephant topper. :)

 

Nursery Rhyme Baby Shower

Crazy Busy Weekend, but....

HAPPY VETERAN'S DAY!!

 

After selling out of my baked goods at the craft show, I had to get ready for another busy week! I had to pump out another 43 dozen cookies before Saturday, complete 2 cakes orders, and I also took on the job of setting up cookies & punch for our community Veterans for our PTO. Let me tell you, Saturday night, I was beginning to regret signing up for the 5K to take place on Sunday morning. A HUGE thank you to my mother for having my kiddos spend the night with her so I could finish my work and participate in the 5K that is so dear to my heart. My brother, Shaun has served in the Marines, and I am so proud of him! I feel bad because, looking back, I should have been more supportive than what I was..but I guess that is all part of growing up. I feel honored to have him as a brother because he was brave enough to put himself in harms way to keep the rest of us safe. And by golly, I know there is NO way I could have done the same thing that he did. Shaun--THANK YOU! With that being said, I was so proud to wear my USMC t-shirt while participating in the Operation Troop Appreciation 5K located at the Hampton Township Community Park.  http://www.operationtroopappreciation.org/

After the 5K, I had to rush home, grab a quick shower, pack up and head down to my oldest brother, Vaughn and my sister-in-law's baby shower! They are expecting in January and ---have not found out if they're having a boy or girl. Not to mention, I'm the type of person who likes to feel "prepared," so this has been a hard adjustment for me. Either way, it will be such a pleasant surprise and we are all so very happy for them! 

 

NOTE: ALL decorations are edible! :)

Halloween Baby Shower Cake for Twins

 

This was my third order for twins this year!! :) Everything was made from cake and its completely edible! My only disappointment with this cake was that when I went to the store that "always" carries cotton candy (remember, I live in a small town) and of course, they were out. Luckily, the party planner came to my rescue with left over orange cotton from the table decorations! --Even though it wasn't edible, it made it look complete! :)
