A New Hobby- let them eat CAKE!

I am to the point of being a stay at home mom where I start to wonder if at the end of the day I have accomplished anything! Hence the need to find a new hobby where I can actually see the fruits of my labor, or in this case, the cake of my labor. This was a great month to start this new goal especially where we had three big birthdays in my family as well as my brothers fiancée's bridal shower for which I was partially in charge. Some are definitely better than others, and they are surely all ammature work, but I can't believe how much fun I have had making them, and even cutting it up and eating it afterwards! So, with that great intro, here they are!

There you have it, but I hope to be showing more that look a little better in the near future!

   Wahoo! I finally have a hobby I enjoy that I can do easily, no matter the season, at home! I used to love to design dresses on cartoon figures when I was a teenager, but it never amounted to more than paper and pencil because the sewing machine intimidated me too much. For Christmas this year however, I got a sewing machine (white and lime green -my favorite color!) and I have been having some fun putting some ideas into practice. I haven't made anything super fancy or unique yet, but I am definitely just a beginner so I'll have to give it some time! Good grief, zippers are going to take me some time to figure out! It looked terrible on the pink dress, so I decided that the detachable flower should go right there and only you and I will ever know! Besides that, I think even my primitive dresses turned out pretty well, it helps when you have a really cute daughter to model the dresses you make and inspire the excitement to create! Isn't she adorable!

A few new cakes

Still very amateur, but this is a phone book cake I made for my brother to ask a girl to a dance. He left clues in the book as to which page to turn to to decode both his first and last name. Cute, but I had no idea how hard it would be to frost a smooth layer of frosting over a saran wrapped book!  Here is my version of a Tinkerbell waterfall cake I made for my niece. I even wrapped the waterfall around to the back and had Vidia there too. To make the water look a little shinny I added some blue food coloring to some light corn syrup and spread it all over the water. I was pretty hay with how it turned out, especially since I am making this up as I go!  For my nephews birthday, all he said he wanted was a cake that had toys on it. I finally got a little more from him when he said he would like a Cars cake with Mater coming out of the cake, so here it is!

Corn Maze Mayhem

For four years now fall has come and gone each year with my husband and I saying that this will be the year we finally make it to a corn maze together.   It might sound kind of silly that we wanted to go to a corn maze that badly, but really it has become a joke to us more than anything. This year however, we finally made it, but it was a lot more than we bargained for… We went to the maze soon after they opened in early September (we knew if we didn’t go soon, it would probably be another four years). We got there a little after 6:30 figuring that would give us over an hour of light which should be plenty of time because when you try to get lost at a corn maze it undoubtedly takes you 20 minutes and then you try to backtrack and get lost for real so you can enjoy the corn maze a little longer. So, there we were, strollers in hand ready to cross off one of our life goals together –plus two additions- and have some fun doing it. We were feeling pretty good at first that we knew rig
