I did have help with this one. Troy and Emma told me which color I needed to insert next. They also loved playing with the left over stars and balls. Emma likened it to playing with playdough!
Happy 2nd Birthday, Addie!
Adelyn's 2nd Birthday
I had the opportunity to make a cake for our neighbor's gorgeous little girl, Adelyn. There was no theme, but the invitations and plates she was going to have were very colorful. Therefore, I came up with the following cake.

Grandma Zee's Birthday Party
The party for Grandma Zee went great! We had it down in the Recreation Center Room located at City Hall. There were a few things there for the kids to play on and keep them occupied, so that helped tremendously. The funny thing about the day was my grandmother. She had her lunch and kept asking when we were going to have cake. It was about every 5 minutes or so. She has such a sweet tooth!
We eventually cut the cake.
Rewind to the night before - I was not in a good state. The bottom tier had to be made three times! The first time I had tried to shape the cake and it started to fall apart. The second time the cakes had not cooled enough and fell apart. So, it is the night before we have to leave and I am up all night making cakes!
There was a lot to this cake. The flowers had milk chocolate centers. I have been trying to learn more about molding chocolate, etc. and I thought this would be a nice accent. The end result was worth it since she loved her cake!
The bottom tier was chocolate fudge cake with peanut butter mousse. This is the most popular. However, I tried a new flavor for the top tier. Lemon cake with lemon curd for the filling turned out to be a big hit!
My mother came all the way over from Australia and my Uncle John came down from Alaska for her birthday, so they were able to try out my cakes for the first time as well. The trip was quick, but definitely packed with activties. We were all exhausted going home on Sunday.
Happy 92nd Birthday, Grandma Zee!

The Handiest of Husbands
Our latest project in the house has been the guest bathroom. Matt had the last week of the year off, so we had Andy (our floor guy) and his crew come in to put in the new tile just after Christmas. Matt then went to town painting, putting in a new vanity and plumbing, new wainscoting, a chair rail, new light fixtures and soon to be mirror and towel bars. It was great when Matt finally stood back to see all that he had done and was very happy with the end result. The towel bar and mirror will hopefully go in this weekend to finish off the room.
