Friday, July 18th, 2008I was born and raised in Utah! The closest we got to baseball was a very, VERY minor league team. They’ve been renamed so many times, I don’t even know what they are called. After I married a “Chicago” man we moved to Arizona. Finally a chance for some real Major [...]
Some Of My Favorites!!
Thursday, July 17th, 2008When there is something you love to do, it’s funny how you love to see how other people do it. Nothing stops my net surfing faster than a site full of decorated cakes.
Trying to figure out if it’s possible to recreate these cakes on my own gets my creative blood pumping!
I’m amazed at the time [...]
Beautiful Clocks!!
Thursday, July 17th, 2008I grew up around clocks. My dad worked for the most upscale jewelry company (next to Tiffany’s) and he was always bringing my mom home gifts. Some of my favorite were the clocks. There were little crystal clocks all the way up to an ornate Grandfather clock. I guess you could [...]
The County Fair!
Thursday, July 17th, 2008We are heading to the fair today. I’m kind of excited because I haven’t been to the fair since I was 4 years old and my 2 year old brother got lost. My sister in law wins Dutch Oven cook offs at the Utah State Fair, and brings home amazing prizes. Is that at every [...]
After A Year…
Thursday, July 17th, 2008This is our house. We’ve lived in it almost a year. The first thing I ever wanted to change on it were the light peachy exterior shutters. They are just so bland, they blend into the background. There are two other problems with them. First, do you see that big [...]
The BEST Cheesecake!!
Wednesday, July 16th, 2008My husband’s birthday is a week from Friday. You’ve heard me talk about the fact that I’m tempted to make him a Harley Davidson cake. Not a molded cake, just a sheet cake with a picture. While I was online today looking for inspiration I found the cutest cake ever! No [...]
38 Is Coming!!
Tuesday, July 15th, 2008My husband’s birthday is coming up on the 25th of July. Sadly, it’s the day after his vacation ends, so we’ll have to celebrate early. Normally I don’t mind except this year, it’s kind of snuck up on me. He’s never helpful when you ask him what he wants for his birthday, [...]
A New Creation!!
Tuesday, July 15th, 2008My three year old has come up with his own dessert idea. Creative…not necessarily new, but fun to see him getting crafty.
To make the castle cake I needed two round cakes and two different kinds of ice cream cones. Since I was sick and didn’t frost the cakes–I was left with everything to make the [...]
A Graduation Party!!
Tuesday, July 15th, 2008We have been invited to a Graduation party in two weeks for my husbands cousins son. It’s that time of year isn’t it! One of his older brothers graduated from a University here in Illinois. Another brother graduated from Real Estate school. In an effort to be unique…he’s graduating from heavy [...]
Sooooooo NOT Me!!
Monday, July 14th, 2008Ok, so it’s not quite the cute castle cake I had planned! In fact…it is NOTHING I had planned! But due to the fact that I woke up with a terrible case of Pink Eye…I decided people would appreciate a store bought cake instead of the cute, girlie, disease ridden one I would have brought! [...]
Eight Is TOO Many!!
Sunday, July 13th, 2008If any of you read my sister’s blog you know that she is getting new carpet this week. Her carpet has been bad for awhile and way too light to deal with the foot traffic in her house. Because of the excitement of something new, she’s now got it in her head to [...]
The Baby Shower
Sunday, July 13th, 2008Today was the shower for our nephew in California. It was held at my mother in laws house, and it turned out to be just a really nice day. I was supposed to make the cake, even spent a fortune on cake embellishments, but this morning I woke up with what I think [...]
It’s That Time Of Year Again!!
Friday, July 11th, 2008Nothing frightens me more than natural disasters. Mainly because you can’t always run away from them. There are some steps we can take to protect ourselves and our belongings, but when Mother Nature turns her wrath on you…there isn’t a whole lot you can do to prevent it! I have never wanted [...]
Strawberry Cream Filling!!
Friday, July 11th, 2008For the baby shower cake I’ve decided to go with a yellow cake, a strawberry cream filling, and strawberry flavored stabilized whipped cream frosting. There really isn’t a lot of decorating to be done aside from the stars in the windows and around the turrets, and I think I will just use a buttercream for [...]
Overheating Kills Me!!
Friday, July 11th, 2008I am not a fan of this whole “heat rising” thing! Our house is three stories and we sleep on the top one. I am one person that has to have cool air, circulating around me at all times. I have two air vents in my room, somewhat blocked by furniture, a [...]
