The Sweet Diva in April

Here are some of my latest creations:






This cake was made for my Grandaddy for his 89th birthday! The bottom layer is spice cake, middle layer is lemon and the top layer is orange. All iced with a vanilla buttercream icing and topped with vanilla rolled fondant. Delicious!!!

These super fun cupcakes I made for my mom to take to a dessert party with her home-team friends. The cupcakes are french vanilla with a vanilla/almond buttercream icing. Flowers are made from fondant. They tasted like wedding cake!

This cake was made for a baby shower. Top layer is strawberry and bottom layer is chocolate. Both layers have vanilla buttercream filling and are iced with vanilla buttercream. Fondant overlay gives this cake it's sleek look. flowers are cut from fondant.

This is a happy 4th birthday cake. The cake is lemon with vanilla buttercream filling and iced with vanilla buttercream. Polka-dots are cut from fondant.

Tormato's!

Tormato's are coming? Gavin said.

Monday afternoon was an eventful one. Maybe not as eventful as my best friend's (she had a tornado hit 1 mile from her house) but I was scared! The weather sirens were sounding due to a tornado warning. Something I care to never experience. I had myself, my 2 kids and one of my dogs in the bathtub with a mattress near by for cover (the golden retriever wouldn't fit but he was in the bathroom with us)! Oh, and I did have Kamryn's bike helmet on her. I shouldn't admit all that but I'll be you know what if a tornado hits my house! We are going to be prepared! Of course at that moment I was thinking of all the things we would need in the event of a true disaster. Here is what I came up with... first off you will need a fanny pack from the early 90's. They are huge and will hold a lot of stuff. The reason for the fanny pack is you can strap it on around you, have all the things you will need and have 2 free hands to hold onto a child. In your fanny pack you will need:

• charged cell phone
• I.D.
• flashlight
• first aid kit
• storm radio

I think that is it... I thought about a bottle of water but if it leaks onto the phone or radio you will be hosed. Also, I was concerned because I didn't have any shoes on. I pictured myself tossed in a field and having to find my way home with no shoes on.

You may be asking yourself, where was Greg during all of this? He was in the garage talking to our neighbor across the alley. Finally, we have been in the tub a while and I call Greg's cell phone for a tornado update and we get the OK to come out. Hello, the SUN was coming out. He so left us hanging in the bathtub!!!! Hey, we were SAFE! :)

And to add to the story:

My poor baby Gavin was trembling. But we thought about this later, Gavin has been thinking this whole time that a tornado was a giant tomato. I asked him to show me a tornado and he brought me a book that had a tomato on it. We then showed him some pictures of real tornado's so he would understand. God love him, he thought a giant tomato was going to get us. Needless to say, he will be terrified either way. My baby does NOT like storms. I am with him.

Kelly Clarkson.... get over it!

Ever wonder who the song "Never Again" by Kelly Clarkson was written to??? Well if you want to here the response from the guy (David Hodges) she was singing to, then click on "Just a Little Girl" on my play list. Eat your heart out Kelly and don't be so bitter! :)

Snow Hawk & Hanna Snowmana

I would like to introduce you to Snow Hawk and Hanna Snowmana. You really do get "The Best of Both Worlds" in Texas!

All in the same day...

This morning we played in the snow and this afternoon we have our shorts and tank tops on playing in the sun. Gotta love the Texas weather!

So what if it's "over"

So I know we are all over Valentine's but I thought I would share some of our Valentine love! I had so much fun fixing a pretty table for Greg and the kids for Valentine's day! Our menu consisted of...

• Breakfast: homemade Belgium waffles with strawberries & cool whip
• Lunch: chicken salad w/apples & dried cranberries served on wheat Hawaiian rolls
• Dinner: grilled sirloin steak, sharp cheddar (beer based) fondue with broccoli, granny smith apples, sour dough bread and carrots to dip and for dessert we had dark chocolate fondue with marshmallows, angel food cake squares, strawberries and bananas to dip!

I just can't figure out why I can't lose those 10 pounds........

Also attached is a picture of Kamryn's Kinder class party. I had so much fun decorating and making cookie bouquets for the tables. The kids had a great time and felt so special!

Foo Fighters rocked the house!

Greg and I went to the Foo Fighters concert last night and WOW! The Foo Fighters rocked their little rears off! It was an awesome show! They did about an hour set and then busted into a 30 minute acoustic set which led into another 30 minute rockin set! Dave Grohl has the biggest voice I have ever heard. When that man talks the beams shake in the coliseum! And he is funny as all get out! Vocally he was spot on. It is amazing to me that a man can yell so much yet have an amazing singing voice as well. And what a range he has! If I wasn't a fan before I am now!

Thank you Kristen for Greg's Christmas presesnt! We had a fabulous time!!!!!!

Ice Skate Cake

With this cake "simple" is the key word. I was inspired by a little girl who loves to ice skate in her pink sparkly dress! The rhinestones add the perfect touch of elegance and the feathers on the cake board make it dreamy! A perfect touch for a 6 year old girls ice skating birthday party. For the party favors I made ice skate cookies to coordinate with the cake.

Happy Birthday Lauren!

Barn Cake

Here is this weekends creation. A barnyard themed party for a 1 year old birthday! There is a little sheep that you can't see hiding behind the barn. The smash cake was the perfect accent! The bottom layer is French vanilla cake with an almond buttercream icing, the middle layer is chocolate cake with raspberry filling and rich chocolate icing and the barn is French vanilla cake with rich chocolate icing. All detail was made with rolled fondant (made from scratch). The smash cake is a French vanilla cake with buttercream icing. Happy birthday William!
