My Daughter's Birthday

Little Miss turned 3 today. She loves princesses and today she had them everywhere. She had a wonderful day and was all smiles until she was too tired to smile anymore.

I made her a Barbie cake at home (without the fancy Barbie pan). And it was a blast. I love making the kids special things instead of buying them.

As Promised..

The cake pictures. Did I mention my mom thinks Mike Ditka is hot? Yeah, I don't think Eww even begins to cover it. But hey, it was her birthday, if she wants to break of a piece of Mike Ditka, who am I to judge?

Cake Decorating

My summer pullart I did yesterday is above.

So, now that I have been promoted to official Cake Decorator (only I would be that excited), I have not had any time to play with my new talent at home. This is the first job I have ever had where I got to be paid for being creative, and that makes it exciting and a good fit. I got the Wilton Masters Cake decorating kit for at home. And today I made cupcakes for the kids. But they ate them like a bunch of locusts. I could barely move my arms to make them because they were all over it. Thus, no pictures. Thursday is my mom's Birthday and I want to make her a cake for it. So, pictures then. There are still things I don't know how to do, but I am learning and I have come a long way.

I have to finish my knitting patterns today. My procrastination continues.

Oh my god! So yesterday, I got called into work and I decorated cakes. I didn't really have a clue for a while, because I really haven't been trained nearly enough, but there it was. I did my best and I was really glad I had practiced, but there were things I couldn't have practiced. I jumped in and overall I would say it went all right. I think my willingness to work is going to make them take the chance on me and give me the time to learn my new job.

The kids really enjoyed my practice and the icing eating they were able to experience in its aftermath.
