Well it's official! One year older! Mid Thirties are here! Friday was my birthday and well, let's just say that was one celebration that could have been better. I was feeling really crappy with a cold I had just caught the day or so before, so the whole day was pretty awful at home with the kids. Hubster brought home some chinese so at least I didn't have to cook! He also tried really hard to make me a fanstastic cake and it didn't turn out so good. I felt horrible for him! After telling … [Read more...]

How many Tuesday's in a row do you think I can feature a birthday cake???? I think I'll stop at three! Sunday was our Baby Boy's First Birthday Party!!!! OMG how did he get so old already!!??

I want to say it went by incredibly fast, but I distinctly remember whining every night about how long each day was and the classic "when will this day end?" was proclaimed loudly on more than one occasion (okay it was … [Read more...]

When my blogging buddy Jen from 3 Little Monkey's posted this birthday cake she made for her son, I knew I wanted to give a try for my big boys!

Taylor asked for a cherry chip cake, so the cake is a two layer 9 inch round cherry chip cake with pink buttercream icing. I used red and pink smarties to sprinkle over the top and kit kat bars to round the outside. I used 9 kit kat bars, but one more would … [Read more...]

I was honoured and delighted to have the opportunity to make my buddy Nicholas his 8th Birthday cake! The Birthday Boy is a Star Wars fan, and so a Star Wars birthday cake he must get!

I tinted the outer buttercream icing black using gel food colouring and used some mint extract, because I know Nick likes mint. The lettering and white circles are … [Read more...]
