Awwwe! Back to work again...

I have so enjoyed my time off. These past five days just flew by. It seems like I just left work. I got a lot of rest and did a lot with the ol' hubby. We went to the movies, to a baseball game, out to eat, shopping at the mall, 4 wheeler riding, and to a cookout. Now that I have typed all that we did, it seems like we did a lot. I guess we did. I enjoyed myself. I just wish I had about 5 more days to rest. Any who, the month of May brought a lot of cakes. I did a total of 8 cakes this month. I think that's a record for me. Tomorrow starts the beginning of a new month. This year is just flying by. It seems like it was just New Year's. Well, I suppose I need to be getting in the bed to prepare for work tomorrow. Until we meet again, Peace and Hairgrease!

Here are some pictures of me and my nieces from this weekend:

All that Hype for Nothing


Well, Well, Well.....we went to go see Sex and the City 2 today, and it was nothing what I thought it would be. It did not surpass the first movie, which in my opinion. most sequels don't. The movie just lacked that sexy, fiesty pizazz that each character had during the series and in the first movie. The first movie had me shedding tears. This movie had me yawning at parts. I will say that if you are a true S.A.T.C. fan, it is worth going to see. If for anything, just to get closure on the end of the S.A.T.C. era.

Here is my latest cake that I did for my friend Teresa's son, Kajuan, who is turning 10. It's a sports theme cake. The top tier is strawberry cake with cream cheese filling and the bottom tier is chocolate cake. All covered in buttercream with mmf (marshmallow fondant) accents.

Just some more cakes!!!!!!


My brother-in-law, Brant, asked me to do a lab themed cake for one of his co-workers. So I thought to myself, what all do lab people work with? I came up with needles, band-aids, reports, lab coat, and a pill bottle. I wasn't sure how much lab personnel deal with pill bottles, but hey, it's medical oriented (smile).

This is a cake that a supervisor at work asked me to do for one of his team mates.

The most wonderful thing happened to me yesterday. I tend to have a pattern of watching the same movies over and over again. I can't help it. I like what I like. Any who, I was looking on On Demand for Sex and the City the movie, and I came across the most wonderful thing.....The whole sixth season of Sex and the City. BIG SCREAM! I was just about to order it because I wanted to watch all the seasons before we went to go see Sex and the City 2 this coming weekend. So....needless to say that in all my extra time this upcoming week, I will be watching Carrie, Samantha, Miranda, and Charlotte. This is the life!

Dos Cakes......

This is a cake that I did for a slumber party themed birthday party. The cake is in the shape of a sleep mask. The little girls and all the accents are marshmallow fondant. The girl that I did this cake for, Imanii, called me. She said that she loved the cake, and it really went with her theme. She thanked me for doing it for her. Imanii calling me just warmed my heart so much. I just thought that was so sweet. It makes me feel so good to know that a cake that I did made a little girl's birthday so special. Happy 9th Birthday Imanii!

Now, this cake is for a "Sweet 16" birthday party. The cake is covered in buttercream and the zebra stripes, dot border, letters and numbers, and bow and tag are all marshmallow fondant. I was happy that I was asked to do this cake because I have been wanting to do a zebra print cake. I drop this cake off tomorrow, so I hope that she likes it.

This week has been very tiring. Since I had these two cakes due this week, I have been working overtime. I haven't cooked all week, which is a little different for me. I want to give a special thank you to my husband, Scott for taking up the slack with house duties this week. Thanks, Boo! You're the BESTest!

Well now that I am all done with this last cake and have cleaned up the kitchen, I am about to take a shower and go to sleep. Oh yeah, I almost forgot....Go CELTICS!!!!!!!

My mood right now.....Proud

A Good Weekend....


Me and my boo
Saturday was the night of the Mayweather and Mosley fight. My friend Candice invited Scott and I over to watch it. We had a good time. Of course, I am sure that you know that Floyd Mayweather won. Then Sunday, we got a little treat. Our goddaughter Carrigan paid us a visit. She is growing up so fast and getting so smart. She rode her big wheel and had a good little time.

Here are some pictures of Carrigan. Isn't she a cutie?

mmmmmm, what trouble can I get into next?

Beep, Beep....Get out the way!!!!!!!!
