Merry Christmas!

Happy 30th, Josh!

You know how in elementary school you bring cupcakes to share with the entire class to celebrate your own birthday?  Well, Josh never did that growing up.  Actually, no one in Samoa did that growing up.  This year we decided to bring cupcakes to Josh at work to share with his co-workers to help celebrate.  Chocolate on chocolate on chocolate. Yum.

Jadie Girl

I got to make these cute little "blessing cupcakes" for my niece, Jadie.  Her blessing dress had itty bitty purple flowers on it so I tried to add one to match.

Ugh

Hopefully when this pregnancy is over I'll actually feel like making cake again.  Don't know why, but this time around the thought of cake is not a good one.

Happy 2nd Birthday, Camri!

Happy 3rd Birthday, Iva!

Dora the Explorer

I made these for my daughter's 3rd birthday party.  I've decided that I thoroughly enjoy making cupcakes way more than making cakes.  They're so much more fun, and always turn out cuter!

Here Comes the Bride

For YW this week we had a "Here Comes the Bride" activity.  I made my first "mini" wedding cakes to give as a thank you to each of the couples who came to share their loves story with the girls.  I also frosted cupcakes for the girls with my new icing tip- thank you ebay!  I am in LOVE with this tip!

Attempt

So this is my not so great attempt at chocolate covered cereal treats.  Hmm.  Try again with something else later.

Second attempt at making and using fondant.  I used a different recipe/technique then I used last time.  This was 100x better.  Can't wait to try something new with it!

Ebay Junkie

My Mickey Mouse cookie cutter shipped out yesterday.  4-11 days and I'll be figuring out some (hopefully) super-cute Mickey Mouse treat.  Woot!  Stay tuned!

Happy Friendship Day!

I didn't do that great of an icing job on these, but you get the picture.

Happy Birthday, Samoa!

Cake Pops = Yum!

So on Friday night I saw these Cake Pops on the internet. I instantly wanted to try them. Saturday morning I went out and got a cake mix, frosting and melting chocolates. They're super easy (a little time consuming), and super yummy. The only thing I had an issue with was that I didn't know what to do with them after I dipped them. I ended up just laying them on wax paper so the backs were flat. Oh well. They still tasted good. Next time I think I'll just make Cake Balls instead. Seriously, must try these. SO good.

Going There Someday

Ahoy, Ye Hearties!

Not Yummy, but SO cute

So you can't really eat these cakes, in fact, they take care of the exact opposite of eating, but they're so cute and are, indeed, cakes.

M-I-See K-E-Why M-O-U-S-E

I love you, Ken.

Steeler's Fan

My first (and at this point, only) attempt at making and using fondant. 

The cake is a moist banana.

Made with Love

My Hubby and 2 year-old daughter made this beauty for my birthday.
