Cakes and More Cakes

I have started an adventure into making cakes. My mother-in-law makes some wonderful cakes and I have always admire how well she does them....therefore, since I married Kane I am slowly getting into making cakes!!

One day Kane and I are going to open a cake shop...I do not know when or how...but one day:)

Here are just a few of the cakes I have made!!!

This was for Lily's 1st birthday...2009

Lily's 2nd birthday...2010

My Granny's 80th birthday...2011...this is when I was first learning how to work with the marshmallow fondant....

My latest creation...I made owl cake pops for a teacher friend of mine's daughters 1st birthday...2012

Here is the cake that went with the owl pops...2012

Lily's 4th birthday...2012

Cupcakes for my sister's wedding shower...2011

Baby Shower cake I made for Amanda...2012

This was the first time I ever attempted anything like this...talk about stress overload:)

So I mentioned a few times how I am a teacher...well this was the first year we administered the STAAR test...lets just say I made my team a cake to celebrate it being OVER!!!

My sister's 2nd wedding shower cake...2011

I still have ALOT to learn before that dream of a cake shop ever becomes reality....but for now I am enjoying making them at home in my little cake shop here:)



Spring Break trip to Flordia

My parents were taking a trip to Florida to go see my Uncle and they asked Lily and I to go with them!!

Kane's work schedule was changing and he ended up going with us!!

So all 6 of us (Mom, Dad, Tommy, Me, Kane and Lily) all took a trip to Florida!!

We had a blast. It was a great trip and it was sooo nice to just get away for a bit:)

Big THANK YOU to my mom and dad for taking us along!!

Well, my baby girl is 4...I can not believe it!!

Lily wanted a Hello Kitty Princess Dance Party this year, so I did my best to accommodate to all of her wishes!!!
