Sunflower Cake for my Mom's Birthday

My Mom wanted a sunflower cake for her birthday. She had seen one in the store and told me that is what she wanted if I was gonna make a cake. It is a white cake with key lime filling and butter cream icing. It is really good!! We had a good day. We grilled out and played punch out on the Wii. I am sooo sore from it. It is definitely a good workout.

My next cake adventure will be a pineapple cake with buttercream icing and gum paste hydrangea on top!! Wish me luck.........

Peace n love,

Lundi

Cute and Tasty cupcakes!

I made these cupcakes for my friend Randy's birthday. He turned 53 on June 6th!! He is a chef and a big help when it comes to cakes. He has made some amazing cakes in his career.

The top one is a "Watermelon cupcake". It is vanilla cake colored with chocolate chips as seeds. The icing is cream cheese watermelon. Very tasty!! The bottom one is french vanilla cake with chocolate butter cream icing. It is the first time I have made chocolate butter cream! The next time I will make an icing swirl for the watermelon ones and add more chocolate to the butter cream.

6th Anniversary Pics!!

Sorry it took so long!! We had a great night. We went to dinner at Cantina Laredo and of course the food was great. If you haven't been there, GO!! Try the strawberry mojito for sure. Derek gave me a card and inside he wrote "I love you now and always. Six down, forever to go." Isn't that so sweet?

It's my 6th Wedding Anniversary!!!!!!!!!!!!

I cant believe we have been married for 6 years!! I guess that saying is true "Time flies when your having fun". Man, I WAS REALLY TINY IN THIS PICTURE!! By the end of June Derek and I will have been together for 10 years. That is pretty amazing...... I love him even more. I still get excited to see him when he gets home and I look forward to the weekends we have together. My married life is great!!

I hope that all of our married friends and family out there are just as happy. I pray that they can feel this way! We need to all get together and have a celebration of marriage party. I think it would be awesome. I will make a big wedding cake that reflects everyone's wedding. It will be fantastic..... What do you think??

Current Events.... I guess

I have learned a lot about my self lately. I have learned that I seem to attract people who are my friends when they need something and when I wanna hang they aren't around. What does this make me? It actually makes me feel needy and I don't like it. I do like to help people and I always want the best for them but I think its really starting to bite me in the ***. I just cant be fake. Don't ask me to accept everything and keep my mouth shut if you cant. There has to be some type of boundaries that I can set. I will not let anyone get in my business and I will stay out of theirs. I will just listen and not make any suggestions. My new phrase will be "that sucks". I guess that's all I can do!!!

On to better topics...

We went to the beach yesterday. It was fun. There were tides pools that were perfect for the girls. They loved it!!! The weather was nice and the water was warm, it was a perfect day.

My next cake adventures....

I will be making a Red Bull can, a chic fil a sheet cake, a watermelon, and a couple of children's birthday cakes that are yet to be determined. I will definitely put up the pics as soon as they are finished. These cakes will probably be much easier since I now have a Air Brush kit!!! Thanks to my awesome hubby.Does anyone have suggestions for the cakes??
