Two of MonkeyBoy’s friends celebrated their birthday this weekend and their mom asked me to make a cake for the occasion. The party was at an area sprinkler park and had a beachy theme. I was excited to be able to pull out my ball cake pan and came up with a beach [...]
This weekend was filled with cakes and present making.
I made a smash cake (little cake just for the birthday child) earlier this week for a friend’s little one’s first birthday photo session and then I repeated the cake later in the week for his birthday. I also made some coordinating cupcakes.

A friend asked me to make a cake for a twin baby shower so this morning I was busy baking up a storm. For once I was done ahead of schedule and able to clean up my mess myself rather than leave it for MonkeyMan to do.
MonkeyBoy was wanting to help, so as I [...]
We’ve been swamped with work this week. MonkeyMan’s computer labs were broken and needed lots of attention.

I co-hosted a baby shower yesterday. And by co-hosted I mean I made the cakes, favors, Pioneer Woman’s bacon goodies, a name banner, and a scrapbook for the signin sheets. The other hostess did so much more, with her gorgeous decorations and food preparations, house cleaning and cute sign in sheets. Oh, [...]
One of my friends asked me to make a cake for a baby girl shower she was hostessing. We swapped some idea pictures and settled on this adorable smiling baby cake. I made the head and body separate flavors so there was a little something for everyone. I was very pleased with [...]
