Happy Birthday, Preston!

Preston C. turned 2 in April, and celebrated with a Baseball themed birthday party.  His Mom and Dad asked me to make Preston and his friends a really awesome cake, so I did my best!

The cake was chocolate, with peanut butter filling and chocolate frosting.  The baseball was leftover cake scraps I mushed up with lots of frosting and shaped into a baseball.

I added grass with a cool new tip I bought... works well for making hairy monster faces, too!

In case not everyone wanted chocolate/ peanut butter cake, I made some yellow cupcakes with chocolate filling and baseballs on top.

Happy Birthday, Little Man!  Thanks for letting me come play with you!

Catching Up from April

Madelyn helped her brother Preston blow out the 2 candles on his baseball birthday cake!  More pictures to come of that later....

My parents celebrated 29 years of marriage in April.  This cake was yellow butter with Mexican vanilla frosting.  As my first attempt at basket-weave, I think I did pretty well!  My roses are coming along nicely too.  Helps to finally figure out the right consistency for frosting.

Time flies when you're....

- Celebrating your wedding anniversary
- Spending time w/ Mom on Mother's Day
- Starting a new job
- Hanging out at the pool, because it's already over 97 degrees on average these days
- Turning 26
- Whatever else I've been up to since MARCH.

Obviously, I've been a little side-tracked and haven't updated in 2 months.  I will make it a point tonight to post new pictures and updates and tell you all about the upcoming yummies you'll have the pleasure of drooling over.

AND I got a new KitchenAid stand mixer for my birthday!

Isn't she lovely?  Isn't she wonderful?  She's been sitting on my counter since Sunday, begging me to use her.  Think I'll bust out something tonight, just to break her in.  Suggestions? (From the 5 of you that may read this.....)

Baby Caldwell Reveal

The gender reveal cake was a huge hit!  Kara and her hubby had a great time surprising everyone with a bright BLUE cake on Sunday!  Can't wait to see you in September, Baby Boy Caldwell!
