I'm Baaaaack!

Wednesday, March 17, 2010
Ok, I know it's been WAY too long since I posted and, as a result, probably most of the people who used to read my blog have stopped checking it. I'm so sorry, please come back, I'm so needy!

So, a big reason for my extended absence has been the fact that my friend, Heather, and I have been starting a little side business making cakes. We aren't like a real business or anything yet, no business license or anything, but we're hoping to get there some day. For now, we're just getting clients by word of mouth and working out of my kitchen. It's been keeping us pretty busy so far. We've done about 5 cakes so far and we have another 4 booked for the next couple weeks, plus our first wedding cake that we'll be doing in August! Here are a few pics of some of the cakes we've done so far:

Superhero cake for a four-year-old's birthday


Snoopy's dog house, plus a Woodstock "smash cake" for a one-year-old's birthday


Graduation cake- this also included a "diploma" made from a pizzelle, which was added last minute to keep it fresh.

Another thing that has been keeping me busy- we've been working on potty training with Juliana! She's kind of resistant- you can tell she'd much rather be playing than training (who wouldn't?) but she's also done pretty well. We spent one weekend really focusing on it and the second day she had six successes and only one small accident. The problem has been keeping it up, especially since we all got sick a couple weeks ago. Plus the antibiotics she's taking for a sinus infection combined with getting her last two baby molars in kind of reeks havoc with her....system, shall we say? So we're holding off on doing another big training session until she's all better. I'm sure that she'll catch on soon, though, she's a very smart girl!


So, I resolve to start posting more! Along with our upcoming cakes, new projects include sewing underwear- yes, you heard me right- thank you, Sarah, and possibly some more painting. So stay tuned for that...please....I did mention how fabulous you look today, right??
