Phew! Its been a while....

I have been extremely busy since February!  Here is a list of what I've been up to:

• Becoming an Aunt in Feb :) 
• Getting engaged in July
• Wedding planning, which is extremely time consuming and difficult..and of course fun!
• Graduating from my dietetic internship in Novemeber
• Anxiously awaiting a perfect first time job to fall into my lap, ha!  (really job hunting all day every day)!

Here are some pictures of cupcakes and cakes that I have made since my last posts! :) 
 

My next project is to make Christmas Cupcakes for my Fiance's Christmas Potluck on December 18th! CANT WAIT :)
Pictures to be posted soon!

Birthday!

Last night (2/6) was Superbowl Sunday and the day that my family and I celebrated the 21st birthday of Jeremy & Jessica, my twin brother and sister!

I had the opportunity to make a cake, and with the leftovers, I made some valentines day cupcakes!  I definitely learned a crucial lesson in decorating this cake -- DONT EVER use store bought frosting!  Always, ALWAYS make your own!  I had both, a little of my own and a little store bought!  I tried to decorate and make the shells around the cake with the store bought frosting, however it was too thick and runny, and dripped down the sides of the cake!  I was pretty upset and frustrated yesterday, but today I realize, that hey, we live and we learn! :)   The upside, was that it TASTED FANTASTIC and the family was all together to enjoy it! :)  

And the cupcakes turned out beautifully!  So far, I am WAY better at cupcakes, but am getting a little bit better with the cakes every time!  Pictures are below...

Let the learning continue :)

Cupcakes!

I have begun to realize that cupcakes are TOO fun for comfort!  I find myself daydreaming during work and play about all of the different cupcakes I could make for different occasions!  I have only had some experience with cupcakes, but plan to get more in the near future! 


My Boyfriend (Aaron) is REALLY close to becoming an uncle, and I cant wait to make all kinds of goodies for the new baby (AVA!)  This past weekend I took part in throwing a baby shower for hopefully my soon to be Niece! ;)  I was able to make a beautiful cupcake tower for the shower and it turned out GREAT! With the help of my wonderful boyfriend who built the tower himself!


Pictures will be posted as soon as the mom and dad to be get the pictures up!  I was really proud of these cupcakes and the tower :)  The practice is starting to help! Success!!!!!!
