Big Girl Morgan

My little baby is getting so big. She can sit up by herself now and she is ALMOST crawling. She takes a few "steps" and then face plants, but she is close. She got to take a bath this week without sitting in the baby seat, you can see that she is not super excited. This weekend at church they told me that when she starts really crawling she will have to go to the bigger classroom at the nursery. I told Patrick that I can't believe that our baby is big enough to go in a bigger classroom. It's times like these that I get a little sad that we won't have another little one, not sad enough to have another one though!

Newest Creation!

Here is a picture of my latest creation and it is definitely the best one yet. Also the most time consuming. It took me forever to make all those flowers! I frosted the cakes at home and then in class we learned how to assemble them. While in transport one of the cakes slid and I had to fix it in class which was a bummer, but I made that the back of the cake so you definitely cannot tell in the picture. I am making my first cake for someone else this week, she is actually paying me so I will let you know how it goes.

Opinions Please

I want to start doing cakes for people, and eventually start a side business, but I am having trouble coming up with a name. I want something fun and creative, not like Cakes by Melissa. There is a really cute store in Albuquerque called Cake Fetish and I love that, but I obviously can't use it. So I looking to you my blogger friends, to help me come up with something cute and fabulous! Please leave any comments and let me know what you think.

Beautiful Girls

As this is supposed to be a blog about my children, I thought I should have an update. The girls are getting very big and more precious everyday. Reagan and I were having a tough time for a while, but we seem to be getting over that hump. She is back to her loving self. When I say " I love you Reagan" Her response is "I love you more Mommy" and everytime it melts my heart.

Morgan is still a happy easy going baby for the most part. She is sleeping better, Thank God! And she has starting eating a little solid food. She seems to like it, except rice cereal. She can get up on all fours and rock back and forth, and then she falls down, but she is headed in the right direction.

Here are some recent pictures!

Cake Decorating Guru!

Here are some more pictures of cakes that I have done in the past few weeks. I did the package last night at class and I am the most proud of that. It is covered in fondant, which does not taste extremely good, but looks awesome.

The second one is covered with chocolate buttercream, which is not as pretty, but very yummy.

The bottom has buttercream roses on the top, last night I learned how to make fondant roses, which I like more. The look cleaner and prettier.

Hope you all enjoy!

Yay for Cake

So here is a new picture of my most recent cake. It was a princess cake for my friend Rachael's little girls birthday. I have some more but I need to upload them to the computer.

I am learning how to use Fondant in my current class, which is a whole new ball game. It is difficult, but super cool. I will keep you posted on my progress. I will post more cakes later today and some updated pics of the girls!

I hope you enjoy the cake, I am available for your b-days, bridal showers, whatever. I am probably not ready for wedding cakes, but give me a couple of months and maybe I'll get there!!

Mom's Day Out

I discovered a lovely thing called Mom's Day Out at a local church. It is for kids under preschool age and you can drop off your kids and go run errands and what not. Reagan started going today and it is wonderful. She went last school year and we just started up again this year. She goes once a week for 3 1/2 hours and she loves it, and so do I! Morgan and I came home and Morgan took a nap and I actually got to sit down and enjoy the quiet!
Yay for Mom's Day Out, they should call it Mom's Best Friend!
