Star Wars Cake

I just finished Nathan's birthday cake.  He obviously loves Star Wars.  He thinks he's getting cupcakes on his birthday, but I made this while he was at school today.  We are going to play Darth Vadors theme music when we walk in with the cake!  Tee Hee!  I am having way to much fun!

Don't you love the Darth Vador and star candles?  Too cool!

Music Cake

I made this cake for Kevin's (my brother-in-law) birthday.  He's quite the musician!  The top tier looks lopsided in this picture, but it actually stood straight up.  Camera angles....

Adoption Cake

Uno Cake

I am such an airhead.  A couple wanted this cake for their 1 year olds birthday party.  The whole time I am making the cake I am thinking -"one year olds can't play uno".   Then someone said to me...."UNO = ONE".  Duh.  I felt sheepish.  Pretty cute idea - I am just a little slow.

Funky and Fun Present Cake

Here's a cake I finished for my daughters friend.  It was a hit at the party and matched all her decor!

Tri In The Pines

My friend found this picture on her friends blog.  There's Jeff and I in the pool warming up before the race begins.

I didn't get any pictures during the race, but here I come - headed for the finish line 2 minutes ahead of my hubby!!  Yippee!!1

I was so glad to be done!

Big smiles!

Jeff and I had so much fun we are signed up for another one in October!!

Coming!

At the end of the week I will have some pictures to show you.

I have some cakes and cookies to finish and sore muscles to stretch, but soon I will post pictures of my triathlon and goodies!

Until then... have a good week!!!

Surprise Birthday Cake

I didn't get a good picture of this cake because I was late getting this to the surprise party.  But the top of the cake is a present with tissue paper coming out.  The bow is my favorite, but again, I didn't get a good picture of it.   It was a really fun cake to make!

(See, it didn't take me to long to get back to the blog)

Lacking Inspiration

Where have I been you ask?  

I am still here.  Just in a little blogging funk lately.  I feel the computer calling to me, telling me to update, but alas, I just haven't been able to force myself to sit down and do it.

The kids started school today.  I think routine will set in again and the blog posts will continue.

I have made some cute cakes and made some very tasty baked goods.  I have had some fun vacations and lot's of pictures to sort through.  But for now, bear with me - 

Maybe tomorrow I will feel inspired to sit down and share.  

Right now, all I can do is share with you how I am lacking the motivation to post.  

Pathetic, but true non the less.

I will be back.

Just not today.

The 4th With Friends!

We got home from Utah on the 4th late that afternoon.  We hurried and unloaded the car and off we went to enjoy some fireworks with friends!  (I was so tired I don't think I was much fun.) 

Why is it that driving poops you out, when all you do is sit?     

Here I come!

I get to spend a week looking at this everyday!  (Okay, maybe not the snow.)  I am ready for a little R & R!  Oh happy days ahead!!!!!!!

Dolphin Cake

Here are some pictures of a fun dolphin cake I finished this weekend.  I love the palm trees and the hula girls!  Cute!

Thailand Cake

Here's a cake I did for Mimi's farewell party as she heads off to Thailand.  This cake took forever to hand paint and put the beadwork on. Shwew!

The Start of Something New

I have had a lot of people ask where I have been lately in the blogging world.  The answer is BUSY!   A friend and I are in the process of opening a bakery.  We should be up and running in August or early September in Gilbert AZ.   We are specializing in cakes, cookies, cupcakes and anything else that is sweet.  We are "The Sweet Studio".
This past weekend we set up shop at the Phoenix convention center to kick off the new business at the Wedding Expo.  (Our booth was soooo cool!!!)   
April (the boss lady), Heather and I have never worked so hard in our lives.  We served thousands of cake samples - seriously we couldn't keep them coming fast enough.  I think our cakes were a hit.  We worked so hard to get ready for this show - baking and decorating like CRAZY!!!!  Here are some more pictures of the cakes and cookies we displayed.

60th Birthday Cake

I loved this cake!  I forgot to take a picture of it so I was soooo happy when my client emailed me these great shots.  I love it when I get to see how the cake looked with all the table settings!
