Happy Birthday Kelli!

My sister in law Kelli celebrated her 20th birthday this week!  She drove in from WKU for the weekend and we were able to get together and have dinner, eat cake, open presents and watch the football game together!  Kelli is a Red Sox fan so Chris and Carol thought that she might enjoy a Red Sox cake for her birthday.  New challenges arise with every cake!!  I think that Kelli was pleased with this cake and I was happy with the way that it turned out!  Hope you enjoy it to!!

Congratulations Kayla!

Kayla and I were in the sorority together at WKU and she is going to be getting married soon.  The sorority girls put on a shower for Kayla in Bowling Green and they asked me to make a cake for her shower! Kayla will be getting married in California on a vineyard so I thought a vineyard cake would be the perfect fit!

It's A Boy

A friend of mine from middle school sent me a facebook message and asked if I would make her a baby shower cake since she would be having a baby in a couple of months.  It was so nice to get caught up with each other when I took the cake to her.  It made me feel so grown up since so many friends are having babies! It is so exciting!

Bible Study Sweets

This year I have decided that I would lead a Bible study of 7th grade girls at church.  This has been a blast so far and we are having a great time together!  Today we had to come up with a group name and decorate a sign to tell what the group name was.  The girls decided that our group would be called Sweet as Sugar because we will be eating lots of sweets!  I make the girls cupcakes or cookies if I have left over icing from the cakes that I have done for the weekend so that they can enjoy a sweet treat!  This week sugar cookies from scratch was the challenge because I had never done it before.  The girls enjoyed them...There were none left!

Go Cards!

Amy Henson is a wonderful woman that made my wedding cake last year and she had someone call for a cake this weekend but she was unable to do it.  It was an honor for her to ask me to do that because she is so amazing at what she does!  The challenge for this week was that a boy wanted the cardinal stadium field for his 10th birthday.  What a challenge but a joy to have in my house with a husband who is a huge Kentucky fan.  Eric's words about the cake were, "I love it cause it looks awesome, but I hate it at the same time." 

Thank you Mrs. Brown

Mrs. Brown is a mother of one of my friends from church, Jill Brown.  Mrs. Brown has been wonderful advertisement for my cakes and an amazing encourager.  After my first cupcakes that I made for her, she left me the most encouraging voice mail about my decorating.  The message is saved on my voice mail for me to listen to whenever I would like.  This week Mrs. Brown called with a reference from another one of her friends for some cupcakes again.  These are what came from her request...

Planes, Trains and Automobiles

Jacqueline is a woman that works with Eric and asked if I would make a cake for her son's second birthday this weekend.  After listening to the things that Mason enjoyed I thought that the best way to create a cake for him would be to make a planes, trains and automobiles cake for him.  It only seemed appropriate for his interests.
