Homemade Pepper Jelly
It’s Christmas season! Our house is in full crazy schedule mode and I have barely had a chance to slow down. Sound familiar?

Happy Tuesday friends! I just delivered a fun cake for a little boy’s birthday party tonight. I thought I would share since it seems to be a pretty popular theme for boys lately. It is a Minecraft Cake and cupcakes. Although I have to admit ignorance here, until I was asked to make this cake I had no idea what Minecraft was and had to do research first :).

Stars and Toothbrushes
For the last few weeks in science my kids have been learning about our Solar System. We have studied the Sun, Moon, stars, planets, and other bodies in the Solar System. It has been a lot of fun teaching and seeing them get so excited about our Solar System! I was trying to come up with a fun craft project while we were studying stars and I was in the middle of brainstorming how to get my kids to brush their teeth long enough. I put both things together and came up with this…
Bucket List…
Hey friends! I’m writing a rare personal post today. Not very often do I bare my heart like this in my blog, so be gentle with your comments please! I have a bucket list, do you? One of the items on my bucket list is to run a half marathon someday. Two years ago I mentioned this to one of my closest and dearest friends. Pretty sure from there the conversation went like this, “Hey! Let’s start running together! We can start small with 5ks!” My awesome friend Cheryl cautiously replied, “Sounds good.” 🙂 Love that woman, the first person to hear this dream of mine, supported me, and even let me drag her along!

Ivory Wedding Cake and OSU Gnome Groom’s Cake
This week I had an ivory wedding cake to do and a really fun OSU gnome cake to do. I love the simple wedding cake the bride chose, a spice cake with ivory cream cheese icing and they will be adding flowers at the reception site. I’ve heard they are fall colors, I think that will be lovely. The groom’s cake was a lot of fun, it is a butter cake with chocolate buttercream frosting. It also has poured dark chocolate ganache and chocolate covered strawberries in OSU colors. The gnome the bride chose as a topper is adorable and I love the final cake! Here are some pics Continue reading “Ivory Wedding Cake and OSU Gnome Groom’s Cake”
