My Latest "Cake"

Okay so it's not really a cake, it's cupcakes but whatever.

I got the idea for this cake out of a book called "Hello, Cupcake." I heard about the book from my friend Vicky's blog. She rocks! I made the butterflies by drawing them on waxpaper with "candy melts" and then I put sprinkles on them. The wings are seperate so that I could put them on the cupcakes on an angle and then add the body to make them 3D.

I made this "cake" for my cusin Niki's birthday. It was a huge hit, but nobody wanted to eat it. Fortunately, they did finally eat them but some people still wouldn't eat the butterflies!

Thank you!

Charity Singing

I recorded Charity singing Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star. My favorite part is Lizzy trying to get the camera.

Play Group

Last Wednesday I took the kids to playgroup at a local park. It was so nice and warm the kids had a great time.

Sam of course slept through most of it.

When Eliza was around nine months old I took her and Charity to the park by myself and Charity wanted to swing but there was only one swing available and I didn't want to set Eliza down because she couldn't walk so I put them both in the swing. They've been swinging like this ever since but I'm afraid they're getting too big now. :(

Diaper Cakes

These are "cakes" made out of diapers. I made them for various friends as baby shower gifts.

I made this one a year and a half ago. It was the first one I made.

This one I made a month ago for a friend.

I made this one Friday. I think I have finally perfected my technique for stabilizing the cake. With the first two I had a problem with them falling apart if not handled correctly.

Another Cake

I did this cake for my friend's baby shower yesterday. It's kind of a simple cake but I was feeling pretty proud of myself because I drew the pattern and cut it out of a rectangle cake and rearranged it to be a star.

Cakes

So I was checkin' out my friends facebook page and she had pics of some cakes she made so I decided it would be fun to show off some cakes I've done. Sadly this isn't all my cakes just the ones I have pics of.

This is the cake I made for Charity's first birthday.
This was Charity's first birthday "smash cake."

I made this for a close friend who wanted a Hawaiian theme party.

I made this one for the neighbor girl.

This one I did with an Indian Henna theme.

This was supposed to be a flower but it just ended up as a cute ball thing.

This was done with a special pan I borrowed from a friend.

Daddy and Son

James and Samuel just looked so cute on Sunday I had to post some pictures of them.

Yep, matching ties, so cute huh?!

Happy Birthday Charity!

Saturday was Charity's birthday party. She decided to have a Strawberry Shortcake Party which ended up being really fun and cute. We had her party at a local park and she invited all her little friends.

The girls were really looking forward to eating the cake. At one point James even had to stop Charity from trying to like the cake.
Charity received lots of wonderful presents and her friends were eager to help her open them.

The kids played a Strawberry Shortcake version of pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey.

It was a little breezy at the park so we didn't put candles on her cake so I made another cake Sunday for a get together we went to and she got to blow out the candles then.
