There were candles, presents and loads of fun for this little one.

One year older, but still my baby girl...

Sugar, spice, and whole lotta something else...

You are everything I expected in a little girl, some I never could have imagined, and more wonderful than I ever thought possible.

You love to create.

{ribbon and paper necklaces are your current specialty}

You love to bake.

{cupcakes are the confection of choice}

You love all things pink, sparkly, frilly or

anything that remotely resembles make-up.

{you "borrow" anything you can from my jewelry stash}

You love to dance and sing.

{the songs you make up in the car are my favorite}

You love being you!

{and I love that too}

Happy 5th Birthday Brynners!

First Day of School

It came and went just like that!
I think it will be another successful year for this sweet boy.

The things we do for love

A sign-up sheet went around work.

It was a going away party for a fellow employee.

Jeremy noticed a slot for cake was still available.

He claimed that as his contribution.

He brought home a flyer and requested I replicate it on the cake.

Next time I'll keep my fingers crossed in hopes that he just signs up for a side dish

.

Fondant is hand cut and frosting is freehanded (aka: a huge pain in my booty).

The sky is a watercolor treatment, but that was fun!

Summer Dayz

We didn't spend nearly enough time lounging poolside this summer.... but there's always next year.

Can't Wait...

Anyone want to go together?

Cake Anyone?

A few things I've been up to this summer.....

A birthday cake for our good friend.

He is a VW enthusiast to the core

and I replicated his bus.

With only 26 hours notice...

I'm calling it a success.

Wedding Cake

Turns out the father of the bride went to high school with Jeremy.

True story.

***

Cake for a reception.

Simple outside, but the inside

was chocolate pound cake filled with dark chocolate ganache.

I think I gained 3 lbs that weekend eating cake scraps turned cake burritos*.

*If you aren't familiar with cake burritos come over and let me enlighten you!

Summer has been good to us,

and we plan on squeezing every last minute out of our remaining 10 days.
