Princess Bed

Karlee got a new twin bed!! We decided it was time to trade in the toddler bed & to say she is in LOVE with it is an understatement!!

From an Incubator to a Princess Bed.....She has came a long way!!

When I Grow Up....

When I grow up..........I want to decorate cakes....specifically FONDANT cakes & be the next Ace of Cakes!!

I have always LOVED watching cake decorating shows!!

So I decided to try out what I have seen on TV!!

I baked a few cakes (Lemon and Strawberry) & stacked them.....

Bought some fondant tools.....

And started decorating!!

I thought they turned out okay considering I can't even frost a cookie decently!!

This is was my second time EVER decorating a cake (first time can be found here)!!

So I then decided to try something a little harder and make a cake for Easter!!

I was again plesently SUPRISED at the results!!

Someone pinch me that I ACTUALLY made that!!

Move over Duff...here comes KANDIS!!!

Happy Easter

St. Patrick's Day 2010

Once upon a time a Leprechaun visited!!!

He left some gold coins, beads....

Cookies.....

Some Leprachaun poop....

And a very HAPPY little Girl!!!

This past weekend we went to the Annual St. Patrick's Day Parade!! We love going & I especially LOVE the bagpipes!!

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Happy Valentines Day

Here's hoping that everyone has a great Valentines Day!! Mandy wrote it best about what the "true" meaning of Valentines day is here!!

Karlee has been sick with a horrible cold that included a double ear infection so we have been spending a lot of time at home trying to get better!! I was bored and decided to try my hand at some Valentine goodies!!


First up was Valentine Petite Fours!! MckMama gave me this idea in this post!! They were very tasty and very easy to make!!

After making those, I decided to try my hand at decorating a cake with fondant!! I bought some supplies and got to work while Karlee was napping!! This was my first time ever decorating a cake and only my second time working with fondant (first was making the Valentine Petit Fours)!! I thought it turned out good which really made me happy beings I secretly dream of being Ace of Cakes or Cake Boss or something like that in my next life!!

Karlee had her Valentines Day Party at daycare on Friday and from the pictures, it looks like she had a good time!!

Hope today and every day, you are surrounded by the ones you LOVE!!

So I guess he......
