When I have a Moment to Spare...

I have a funny Rusty story coming (for you Leslie).

Some great recipes to share (for you Nancy).

A gingerbread house (seriously insane).

And 2 more cakes to post.

Crazy busy at the moment.

Will try to post soon.

Promise to do better in 2010.

Rest in Peace

Yesterday morning, my daughter came downstairs in tears, to inform me that Tina had passed away.

We received Tina (named after "Tina the fat lard" on Napoleon Dynamite) last year as a white elephant gift. My daughter lovingly took the pet for her own and has cared for her faithfully for the last year.

When she wasn't looking, I put some gloves on and gently laid Tina in the green recycling bin.

Goodbye little hamster! Now we might get some sleep without you running on your wheel all night.

Just the same - we will miss you!

Chelsea's Wedding Cake

This cake went really well with the brides decorations. It was very fun and cute!

Fall Daisy Cake

This person wanted a fall cake with daisies. Here's what we came up with. It was soooo yummy. Pumpkin cake with a pumpkin cream filling.

Topsy Turvy

I just finished this birthday cake for Tatum. My first attempt at a topsy turvy cake. A little tricky - but not to bad for my first try.

Freedom

I loved this video.

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.
