Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, and Something....YUMMY!!

I was lucky enough to be able to make my friend's wedding cake. They decided on a four tiered cake made of fondant and frosting in their wedding colors. The three bottom layers of the cake are all styrofoam. The top tier is funfetti and chocolate cake. I had so much fun making it! Congratulations Tage and Alanna!!!

*This picture lets you know how big the cake is....I took out 2 shelves just to make it fit!

Another Home Decoration Created by Me!

I once had an assignment in high school to create items that depicted my likes into my name, here was the finished project!

*I drew art utensils to show my creative side, toothpaste & toothbrush because dental hygiene is very important to me, a curling iron because I liked to curl my hair, a swim cap & goggles because I love to swim, and a mirror & mascara because I like to look purty!

I decided to make something to hang in my home that depicted things that Trenton and I like. This one turned out so much better!

*I drew art utensils to show my creative side yet again, a rifle because Trent loves guns, a movie reel because we enjoy going to the movies, my most favorite hair item = my chi, a flashdrive because Trent is ALWAYS on the computer, and a fishing pole because Trent likes to go fishing & I like to accompany him to enjoy the scenery...sometimes.

Who's wants homemade fondant??

I am just in a baking mood this weekend! I decided to try and make homemade fondant. It worked out pretty darn good! Here's the finished cake!!

I follow this blog called Bake at 350. She gives ideas about baking and decorating cookies. She is amazing at what she does! She wrote about making homemade oreo cookies....creme filling and all! The recipe looked pretty easy, so I tried it tonight. They turned out great!! I didn't have a plain circular cookie cutter so I used a flower one. It was a lot of fun....and yummy!!!!
