Big bro's birthday!

My older brother, Corey turned 26 yesterday and I made him a cake, trying to practice my decorating skills every chance I get!

Side note...it's so crazy how all four of us siblings are growing up so fast!

Happy

Candy buffet!

I'm not sure where I found this picture, but I absolutely love this idea and always have!! It's so cute to have a candy buffet at a wedding or kid's party!  I went to a friend, Sara's wedding this summer and she had one and it was just too cute!  I can't wait to have my special day and plan out all of the little details!

Phineas and Ferb cake

I have taken on the challenge of creating a Phineas and Ferb themed cake for my favorite little kid, Ethan's birthday party this Saturday coming up! He is turning 2 and he absolutely loves watching that show whenever I babysit him.  The cake I am going to try to make is two tiers covered in fondant and decorated with fondant as well.  The exact cake I want to try to replicate is below:

I have already ordered the surfing Phineas and Ferb characters as well as a Perry the Platypus character to add to the cake!  I'm super excited to create this cake, but also very nervous because this is my first real cake project that someone has requested of me.  I just want to make it look perfect for them!!! I hope I can make it look awesome!

Painting during Hurricane Irene

I started a painting project to have something to do during this crazy weather we have out east.



My finished canvas below! I decided that I'm going to start painting more! It's very relaxing.

Actually excited for school...

I am extremely proud of myself for signing up for Fall classes at the local community college!  I haven't taken any classes in the last year due to me being (1) lazy, (2) having a pretty crappy year in general, and (3) just not wanting to deal with classes while working full time.  I am kicking myself now for not signing up last semester or the one before that but am glad that i'm going back this semester!  
I am only taking two online classes, but I am actually excited be back and plus I'll have something to do while Eric is at work every night!  And it's something that will help me for the future, that's what's best, right?!  I've learned in the last few months that you have to do whatever you need to do to make yourself happy and I am working on getting to that point.  Classes...check...next on my list, working out more!!!


And now, some pics that remind me of college:
