The 4th With Friends!

We got home from Utah on the 4th late that afternoon.  We hurried and unloaded the car and off we went to enjoy some fireworks with friends!  (I was so tired I don't think I was much fun.) 

Why is it that driving poops you out, when all you do is sit?     

Here I come!

I get to spend a week looking at this everyday!  (Okay, maybe not the snow.)  I am ready for a little R & R!  Oh happy days ahead!!!!!!!

Dolphin Cake

Here are some pictures of a fun dolphin cake I finished this weekend.  I love the palm trees and the hula girls!  Cute!

Thailand Cake

Here's a cake I did for Mimi's farewell party as she heads off to Thailand.  This cake took forever to hand paint and put the beadwork on. Shwew!

The Start of Something New

I have had a lot of people ask where I have been lately in the blogging world.  The answer is BUSY!   A friend and I are in the process of opening a bakery.  We should be up and running in August or early September in Gilbert AZ.   We are specializing in cakes, cookies, cupcakes and anything else that is sweet.  We are "The Sweet Studio".
This past weekend we set up shop at the Phoenix convention center to kick off the new business at the Wedding Expo.  (Our booth was soooo cool!!!)   
April (the boss lady), Heather and I have never worked so hard in our lives.  We served thousands of cake samples - seriously we couldn't keep them coming fast enough.  I think our cakes were a hit.  We worked so hard to get ready for this show - baking and decorating like CRAZY!!!!  Here are some more pictures of the cakes and cookies we displayed.

60th Birthday Cake

I loved this cake!  I forgot to take a picture of it so I was soooo happy when my client emailed me these great shots.  I love it when I get to see how the cake looked with all the table settings!

White Wedding Cake

Here's a cake I finished this weekend.  I am bummed for 2 reasons.  One, that I took a picture of the back of the cake by accident - I was in a hurry. (Yes, there is a back to every cake).  Two, that I didn't get to see the cake after they added the flowers.   Oh well.
