Charley's 29th Birthday

My friend Amber asked me to make a cake for her husband, Charley's 29th birthday. Amber and I teach together at JES, and I grew up with Charley, so it was a fun job. We decided on a 6" round cake with additional personalized cupcakes. The goal was to include odes to his radio - all components, music, environmental engineering, Georgia Tech, his church, his fraternity, and his age. I LOVE the way it turned out!

cupcake toppers!!

A friend enlisted me to make cupcakes for her son's class for his 7th birthday. He wanted Super Mario cupcakes. I really really had fun making these toppers, and am SOoooo excited to see them atop some cupcakes tomorrow night (for Friday morning). YAY!

Jacob wanted Omnitrix cupcakes (Ben 10!). And I was/am also excited about these, though they are much less high-tech.

Sugar Skills!

Dabbling in sugar arts and cheesecake!

Cake from Scratch!

everything was from scratch - chocolate cake, chocolate frosting, marshmallow fondant!
Just for practice, and I gave it to my friend, Melissa!

Cupcake experiments :)

Some NM Pics

Easter Sunday we took a picnic out to the Catwalk in Glenwood NM and hiked the moderate trail. Brogan and I still had semi sore legs Wednesday night.

Tyler and Brogan sitting on the remaining front porch from the land where they lived when they were little in Cliff.

The Mexican border. . . so in 2 weeks I've been to both the Mexican and the Canadian borders. CRAZY!

We went and tried paintball. Tyler loved it. Brogan and I are not fans!!! OWWWW!

Going to New Mexico

Again. Today.

I'm not sure how the trip will go - but still! I'm going! In a few hours. Last weekend, Dad and I drove to Buffalo New York and back - - left Friday afternoon and got back Sunday. Craziness. I really do love to travel. So. . .airports and driving, here I come!
