Heart to Heart Pink and Green cake, Ruffle cake, Easter Cake Pops, Pink and Black Rose cake, Skateboard cake, Owl cake and shower, Turtle baby shower cake, and the WHITE PARTY!

I need a PA just to do my blogging/photo editing. I seriously wish I had someone who could just do this for me! It took me close to an hour to edit all of the photos!

Here's what's been happening around here lately! Including some pics from the WHITE PARTY we threw last weekend to celebrate my 30th birthday and the Owl themed baby shower that I helped throw for a very special friend.

Heart to Heart cake:

This was made for a prize drawing at my church's ladies retreat. The person who won this prize not only won the cake, but won a future cake of equal value at the time of their choosing. The top is real, the bottom is a styrofoam layer.

Easter Cake Pops and Cupcakes

Thanks to Bakerella for her ever inspiring creativity! I love love love the way the cake pops look when they are done but do not enjoy the process so much. The outcome makes it worth it though:)

Owl Baby shower:

I had the pleasure of helping throw our very close friend a baby shower along with her mother and her sister. When we started throwing around ideas for it, I thought the owl theme would be super cute and would match her personality! After weeks and weeks of planning, it was so exciting to see it all come together! I took care of the dessert table. We had the cake, mini cheesecakes, chocolate rice krispy pops, decorated sugar cookies and tootsie pops. I've included some other pictures of the shower because it turned out so great!

We also had the pleasure of making the cake for the work shower that was held last week! What a cute cake:)

Pink and black rose cake:

Made for a sweet lady's birthday!

Skateboard cake:

This cake was made for a super sweet little boy -- ahem, young man. Skateboard theme - made to match the design of the invitation.

Ruffle cake and White Party

So I turned 30 two weeks ago. And a few months ago I had this crazy idea that we should have a big, fancy party to celebrate that. A white party! (I'd been watching a lot of the OC Housewives at the time). So we bought a big fancy tent and made some cute invitations and I spent months making tissue paper poms and ribbon decorations.

We worked so hard on this party but it seemed like everything was going against us! It was forecasted to rain on the day of the party, I couldn't find THE dress, the wind was not our friend that day and to top it all off, I had food poisoning the day before and wasn't feeling my best. It did turn out to be pretty cute regardless. Here are some photos I snapped, including the dessert table. (white sugar cookies, white chocolate cheesecake cups, coffee truffles and white ruffle cake)

I included a crossword about yours truly in the place setting. Everyone tried to complete it during dinner to see who would correctly finish first. I gave out prizes for that, a guessing game (how many white beans are the jar) and for best dressed.

Walking out onto the patio

That's about it around here! We're gearing up for our baby girl's pre-k graduation next week, I can't believe she's already about to enter kindergarten! Where has the time gone?

Pink and black, Perennial Barbie, My Little Pony, Brush Embroidery, Woody and Dino Cakes

Turned 30 yesterday (the 11th).

THIRTY.

While I sulk about about my youth passed, here's a look at what we've been up to...


Pink and black cake:

Made this for a girly girl, love how simple and elegant it turned out!

Adrianna's perennial Barbie cake:

This was made for one of Rylee's close friends, Adrianna. We LOVED making this cake! We hardly ever do cakes like these and it was a ton of fun. We used the airbrush and I made buttercream roses! Not a lot of people asking for buttercream roses these days so we enjoyed it :)

My Little Pony:

Rodney totally rocked the pony on this cake! Love the colors and how bright they turned out!

Brush Embroidery Cake:

This cake had me a little nervous! I hadn't piped like this or done brush embroidery in a VERY LONG TIME. I sat down and decided to just start and see where it led me...I have to say, this is probably one of my favorite cakes that we've done this year so far. It's a lot different than most cakes we do, pretty traditional (again with the buttercream roses) but I absolutely love it. I went back over the piping with white disco glitter to make it stand out. Yay!

Woody Cake:

Okay so my super sweet friend Cristina had this vision for her son's 3rd birthday cake. She wanted the cake to look like Woody. Her thought was that she'd have her son peek his head above the top tier (all decked out in his cowboy hat) and she'd snap a super cute photo (can't wait to see this picture!). After lots of discussion and deliberation, we came up with this design. I could not be happier with it. Rodney and I both worked on this cake together (at the same time - typically we work in stages at different times) and I'm just so proud of how well we work together. We've become a well oiled machine!

Dino Cake:

Love this cake design! We love making cakes for kids so much! This was another that we hadn't done before and I'm so happy with how it turned out. I snapped this photo before I cleaned up the powdered sugar (ignore that please).

Did I mention I turned 30 this week? I think I'm already experiencing some memory loss.

Bobble head cake, Liam's train cake, Law and order Cupcakes

Seriously there are at least 4 or 5 other things we've done but I can't find them! We're doing good to actually take a picture of the work we're producing these days!

Here's a little (because I can't find the rest) of what we've been up to!

Bobble head cake:

Very proud of this one! It was featured on USA Today! Here's the link!

Kinda cool!

Liam's Train cake:

This cake was for a little boy that we made a cake for last year, for his 1st birthday! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE making birthday cakes for kids each year and creating different things for them! It's so special and sweet!

And lastly, some cupcakes we made for a Law and Order superfan!

Mickey and Minnie themed cakes and party, Handy Manny cake, pink and orange party, stacked book cakes, dance party cakes, 30th birthday cake

I am officially the worst blogger ever! The old "I've got twins!" defense probably isn't holding too much water any more but shoot! I've got twins!

In all honesty, we had Christmas, the twins 1st birthday, I styled a party for a friend and then we were at Disney for a week. I caught the worst case of the flu eve when we returned, we've all had stomach viruses and ear infections...what else can we catch at this point? (actually, don't answer that)

Anyway, here are some pictures of a few things we've done including and starting off with Logan and Hadley's first birthday party :)

I went with a vintage Mickey and Minnie theme for my sweet babies!

The birthday boy and girl :)
