Poor Peter Cottontail:(

Ok First off, this is the third post I have posted tonight. I wanted to get everything on while I had time to. So the two other posts are pictures from the wedding cake I made and from my cake class.

This is Peter, or as Cassidy calls him Petey. A few days ago Sammy (our dog) found a cottontail bunny nest and decided to bring a few bunnies into the house. He killed four of the seven bunnies. Not intentionally we think, when you disturb baby bunnies they go into shock easily and die. Well we thought Petey was dead. My father in law went out to gather the poor bunnies and Petey screamed and if you have never heard a newborn bunny scream they are loud and high pitched squeelers. Scared the poo out of us! But we took the poor little guy in and got him into a box on top of a heating pad.


The next morning Sammy brought another baby bunny to the back door. This one was also alive. So we put him with his brother and then Cassidy and I took them to the Willowbrooke Wildlife Center. We're hoping they made it. Well, little did we know that at three in the morning (after we brought Petey and his brother in) Sammy had managed to bring in another bunny. Sammy had been by our bedroom door all day and I finally asked Sammy what he was doing. Mind you this was after we brought the other bunnies to the center. Well, we moved the shelf and low and behold there was another baby bunny!!!! This one had it's eyes open but was the same size. So we figure Sammy brought this one upstairs and dropped it at 3am and the baby bunny ran and hid under and behind our shelf. So we got him and put him in another box and brought him to the Wildlife Center after lunch. I really wished we could have kept them but it's against the law and I didn't know how to take care of newborn bunnies. We couldn't put them back outside since the nest was destroyed and some of them had been hurt. That was our Tuesday and Wednesday adventures. We're just hoping another bunny doesn't have their babies in the yard and Sammy does not bring them into the house!

Cake from my last cake class

Ok here's another cake that I just made from my final cake class. I had fun making all the flowers for this cake. The flowers on this cake is edible. All of it, well except for the stamins. It took me three hours to make all those flowers, but it only took my two hours to completely decorate this small little cake! I had soo much fun with these classes and I believe I have found my calling. So anyone who would like a cake made (you pay for cost of ingredients and how long it would take me to make the cake hourly-which I haven't decided on how much an hour I should charge) call me. I make all kinds of cakes, not just wedding cakes:)

As Promised!

Well it took long enough but I am now posting the wedding cake pictures from the cake I made from Heather Haskins (now Caufield-wrong spelling) wedding. I enjoyed making this cake and I'm more then willing to make any type of cake for anyone. Whether it be a birthday cake, annivarsary cake, or an event cake. If any of you have a facebook I have tons and tons of cake pictures from the different cakes I've made. Check them out on my facebook!




And this is what the cake looked like from the inside! It was a deliciuos fluffy yellow cake (i made it from scratch no box) with a raspberry filling (also from scratch) and a buttercream icing (from scratch) with fondant covering the outside of the cake. The flowers were made my Addraine McCowan (she did all the flowers for Heathers wedding)

Been awhile

Well well....it's been quite awhile since I've last posted anything. Heather Haskin, now Caufield (i think that's how you spell it) had her wedding last week and it was beautiful. I love the cake. Then again I'm biased since I made it. I will have to post a picture on here, I have pictures as I think Heather does as well, I have just been a little busy or lazy to get them on the computer.
Memorial Day was fun for us. Jason, Allison, and I went to the zoo again, except this time it was just the three of us. That was a first, and Allison was a good little girl. She's starting to become much more of a well behaved little girl now. She is funny though, when we were passing by the camels she pointed to one that was lying down and she said "night, night". She loves to point out the obvious which is adorable!!
Yesterday I took her to Petland, since we haven't been there in a long time and she had a ball. She loves to see the puppies more through the window then play with them. Although she desperately wants a puppy to play with. there is a dog in the house but he's getting old and he doesn't play anymore. When we were there she even wanted to see the birds and hampsters, which was nice. I attempted to pick up a hamster and the little sucker bit me!! so after that little Allison would go up to them and say "no bite (while shaking her finger at them)". Then it was time to leave, and she did well (as no fit throwing). She noticed that they were napping so once again she would point to each and every one we passed and said "night, night".
She's growing up to be sch a big girl. She talks in complete sentences now and we understand her. Today when it was time for a nap she said no, but I preceded to go upstairs anyways and told her to follow as my hands were full of things. And you know what, she was such a good girl, she came up the stairs right after me!! What a big girl!!! Now don't tell her daddy that I let her climb the stairs whenever she wants. He would have a hayday. But he doesn't understand that Allison can get up and down the stairs all by herself no problem and I trust her. He doesn't, then again he is not around her as much as I am. We've got to let our little baby grow up:(

Chronicles of Allison

My 20 month old says the funniest things. She's cleaning up her language more and more now. We all understand her most of the time. But yeaterday was just beyond funny. I had a small glass of a drink and I was sharing it with Allison. Well, I finished the drink, she looked inside the cup, looked at me, and demandingly said "Get More!"
I could not believe she just told me that. I know we shouldn't do it but we of coarse laughed when she said it. Well, she wasn't joking. She went into the kitchen (where grandpa) was. He was getting something out of the fridge and so she grabbed the diet caffiene free pepsi bottle from the fridge and brought it to me. She meant business!!! It was very funny to all of us at that time, and she is always doing things like this now!

Cake Class Final

I had my final cake class mid week last week. I made the most beautiful cake I've made to date. I'll be starting my fourth cake class tomorrow. Learning how to stack cakes. Which I could probably do if I looked it up, but I like having classes. It gives me something to do. Also, everything on this cake is edible!

What is that?

The Tummy Tub has come to America. I'm pretty sure most of you have heard of this by now, it's been on the Today Show now. It's a tub you put your infant child in designed to mimic the womb. I guess it is a pretty good idea. But I do not know if I could put my child in that. Maybe if I have another child I would. It just looks a little weird. It looks as though your putting your child into a see-through bucket. It's sold for $45. That's a little too expensive for me right now, but maybe in the future?
