Here We Go!

The time has come. We have outgrown our little condo on the lake. We met with our realtor last night and today we are taking all the "stuff" out of our house so it can look bigger (good luck with that, Ms. Realtor!). Next week we go on the market! It's an exciting and scary time. Do we look for our dream home? Do we rent? Do we save to build? So many questions! The house is a mess right now, which is making me a bit bristly but we have some tasks at hand:

1) Finish gathering all the "stuff" and get it into bins.

2) Take bins over to my mother's house to store. (Thanks, Mom!!)

3) Make a cake and cupcakes for a party of 20 tomorrow.

Wish us luck!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter, everyone!

It was really great to have Rachael here this Easter! We all colored eggs for the first time and had so much fun! For some reason, Griffin just loves vinegar, so it was really hard keeping his little fingers out of the egg dye! Mr. Man was all over the place but we had some fun family time!

Roman's Robot Birthday Cake and Cupcakes

I recently did a cake and cupcakes for the son of my hairstylist, Donna. There wasn't a theme to this party but she sent me a picture of Roman's bed sheet set, which had robots on them, so Voila! :)
Lesson learned on the cake - ALWAYS edge the cake with ribbon! You could see the end of the fondant between the circles at the base and it just looked unfinished. The cupcakes turned out cute, though! I had little fondant "sprockets" sticking out of some of them.

My husband loves Nutella so I made a vanilla cupcake with Nutella Buttercream and Heath Bar sprinkles!

Sweets for My Sweet

It's Valentine's Day today and I made a cake for the Hubster!

Valentine's Day Cupcakes - Take 1!

I wanted to experiment with some Valentine's Day cupcake ideas and my friend, Michelle, was having a party so voila! The perfect excuse to get baking!

I can't wait for round 2 for my husband's co-workers!

My handsome taste tester!

Minis - These two kinds were my favorite.

More minis
Regular sized cupcakes. I was disappointed with how the fondant turned out.
It just had this "dusted" look to it that I didn't like. :(
Same thing here with the flowers and that "dusted" look. Here's all 5 together!

All ready for transport!
