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!

Adam and his family have always been huge Disney fans, and yet we have never seemed to make it there with our own family. In fact, since having kids, we haven't ventured out on a single family vacation -until now! This November we walked into the park after a long drive, a 24-hr flu bug for the Carter man, two nights of no sleep because both kids got the croop, and over an hour in guest services because of mix-ups with our tickets, and we had a blast!   Adam and his family have always been huge Disney fans, and yet we have never seemed to make it there with our own family.
