Easter Weekend

We certainly had a busy Easter weekend. 

We all went to Mike's parents house Friday evening for fish and mushrooms...oh so good!

Saturday afternoon we had Ashley's Baby Shower.  I made her cake out of white almond sour cream, iced it with almond buttercream and trimmed it with homemade fondant.  It was yummy!  Jason contributed to the cake by making the little giraffe and monkey and Ashley gave moral support and also helped with some of the fondant work. 

I made this cute baby carriage out of diapers, a blanket, hooded towel and bib

Saturday evening we all went to Olde Tyme Steakhause for our Easter meal with my Mom and my Sister's family.

Sunday morning we had an indoor egg hunt with the granchildren. 

It was a great weekend!

Happy 3rd Birthday Avery!!

We had a really good weekend!  We celebrated Avery's 3rd birthday on Saturday.  This year she wanted a butterfly cake....check out some of the pictures I took.

Happy 86th Birthday Mom (Beulah)

A few weeks ago I decided to bake my Mom a cake to celebrate her 86th birthday.  My only problem was what to bake...after looking at several cake pictures, I finally decided on one.  In Mom's kitchen, you see nothing but apples...everywhere!  So a cake shaped like an apple was only fitting.  Not to brag, but it turned out great.  It is my favorite cake to date.

It is made out of 4 - 9" round cakes layered with buttercream icing and then carved in the shape of an apple and covered with more buttercream icing.

Happy Birthday Mom!!
Love you!
