My first follower!!

I am so excited to have my first follower! My sister, my best friend, and my number one supporter! I love you! ( :




One of those days.

Its's cold, rainy, and wet outside. Not exactly the kind of day I hope out of bed for. More or less the kind of day that I hope happens when I am off work and able to sit around in my pjs and do nothing all day. Today that is not the case.

I have work today at 2:30pm. Only until 7:30, so that's not really a bad deal. The shift just falls in such a weird time of day. Besides, I have things to do. I hopped up out of bed this morning at 8:30 with goals in mind.

1. Make buttercream.
2. Melt white chocolate and dip cake pops.
3. Go for a run on the treadmill.

I hoped this would all be done by 11. Granted, it's just about 10:00, but there is NO way all those things will be done. In the past hour and a half I have managed to make two batches of buttercream that didn't even whip into a meringue and totally seize my white chocolate.

I had a feeling it was going to be one of those days.

Todays lesson: Don't rush.


I am afraid to walk over to check that mixing bowl...

The Month in Review

This is my first, true day off in the past month and a half or so. I have been on turbo and now it's finally time to take a bit of a chill. I have no future wedding cakes to stress about, only a few small cakes for family.

I feel as though my fall totally flew by. I had minimal September and absolutely no October. And now while I have eaten probably about 2 bags of Halloween candy so far, I have yet to carve a pumpkin, watch a halloween movie, or even think about a costume for the Halloween party my sister is throwing on friday.

Oh boy am I behind. However, I have been up to some really great things. Please enjoy the photos I am posting of what I have been up to.

I will no longer slack on my blog. I will no longer slack on my blog. I will no longer slack on my blog.
