Hummingbird Cake…Me Want!!
Monday, June 30th, 2008I have had a second thought about the shower cake. My sister in law posted this beautiful cake on her blog, and I have to admit…I wanna make some of those cool flowers! Who knew you could do that with pineapple (my favorite)?
If you would like the directions to this yummy sounding treat….head [...]
The People Puppy Cake!!
Monday, June 30th, 2008Here’s the “people” cake for Wasatch’s party. I was going to add spots to his really plain fur—but honestly, it was near dark by the time I finished–and we were just going to chow into him anyway, so why waste any more time!!
For more pictures—head on over to Nykaza Family and check them out!
Vacation Do Or Don’t??
Monday, June 30th, 2008As I mentioned before, the husband and I are trying to find a time and a place for a family vacation. We are looking for somewhere fun to surprise the kids. However, if you’ve read any of my blogs recently, you will know that my kids are in no way, shape, or form [...]
The Week Ahead!!
Monday, June 30th, 2008The week after next will be another big week for the cake side of life. On top of the installation of home theater lighting I have a cake for the baby shower/21st birthday party. Don’t get me wrong. I’m excited about both cakes. I decided that since the boy turning 21 [...]
Summer Plans!!
Monday, June 30th, 2008We have been trying to plan our family vacation for the summer. I’m one that is happy to plan my luxury vacations based on food! You know, Hershey, PA for the chocolate…Boston for the Clam Chowdah. Heck, I’d love to take a cruise just to have all of my meals and snacks included! [...]
Wasatch Is One!!
Friday, June 27th, 2008This is the cake for the dogs. It’s made with chicken and carrots and frosted with vanilla yogurt. The filling (yes, there’s filling) is vanilla yogurt mixed with wet puppy food.
Because the cake was for them, I let them lick the baby food jars clean–I have to say, they both loved this little [...]
Princess Baby Shower??
Tuesday, June 24th, 2008I was blog surfing a while back and came across this amazing cake over at Amy’s blog! I’ve been dying to make it since I saw it—and am wondering your thoughts on just how appropriate it might be for a baby shower. I know—it’s a stretch, but seriously, there is no way to hold [...]
Puppy Birthday Cake Recipe
Sunday, June 22nd, 2008I found this recipe for a puppy cake online. Who knew! It will, of course, be shaped like a bone and Wasatch and Brownie can share this one! NO…we are not inviting neighborhood dogs over—I’m not one of the Girls Next Door–and it was a stupid idea when they did it!! [...]
21st Birthday Cake Ideas…
Friday, June 20th, 2008I was just on a site looking at ideas for a 21 year old’s birthday cake. The number one answer given…top the cake with 21 candles!! I’m sorry—is that a new idea? I think I could have come up with the thought without using Google!!
Apparently the boy loves chocolate cake, so I’ll have to find [...]
Pink Booties!!
Wednesday, June 18th, 2008I have a couple of cake days coming up in the next few weeks, I’m kinda excited about! We are planning a baby shower for a niece and nephew who live in California, and a 21st birthday the same day for a nephew that lives here. Two events in one—but unless it’s OK to have [...]
Wasatch Is Turning 1!!
Monday, June 16th, 2008Friday the 27th is my puppy’s first birthday. He’s still a pain in the neck, but a birthday of any kind is an excuse to make CAKE!! So I’ll be making two. A normal one for the people (me and the kids) and a bone shaped, liver concoction for he and Brownie [...]
Darn You Rubber Spatula!!
Sunday, June 15th, 2008I remember when I was little and my mom or grandma would make a cake. Us three kids would circle and each would get a fabulous treat. Two got a beater each and the lucky one got to lick the bowl. YUM! Not long after this little tradition began, our poor [...]
OH HAPPY DAY!!
Tuesday, June 10th, 2008If you’ve been keeping up at all with my other blogs you’ve heard by now that summer life isn’t going nearly as easily as I thought it would! Who would’ve thought, right? Anyway…today I’m back on my medication and hopefully life will be happy again soon!
Better tomorrow, I promise!!
Planning A Party!!
Thursday, June 5th, 2008My Mother In Law and I are in the process of planning a shower for her grandson (my nephew) and his wife. They live in San Diego and won’t be at the shower, but we thought it would be a fun way to show our excitement for their new arrival.
We are moving away from [...]
