Topsy Turvy

I've been wanting to make one for a long time... I was scared to try it, it is such an intimidating

technique I was afraid to try it for fear of all my hard work not working.

I showed a picture of one to my friends who asked me to make her a cake and she loved it. (Secretly I was hoping she wouldn't want one like that). So I researched and read and watched tutorials online a million times and finally did it!

The top tier after I carved and dirty Iced it...

Bottom tier after Carved and Iced... a much harder tier to do I had to carve a flat spot so the

top tier would sit right on it.

Top tier after I decorated it. I made Chocolate Fondant! It SMELLS So Yummy!

Fully assembled, the bottom tier was a pain to cover, the fondant the first time wasn't right and when I went to take off the fondant part of the upper part tryed to come off and was never right after I recovered it. But it turned out good.

After all the finishing touches (except the tag) A good experience over all! Thanks Audra for having me face my fear and learn a new technique!

Tinker Bell Cake

It's not the best picture but it the best I have, I made this cake for my Best Friend Colleen's little girls birthday the end of May. It was fun!

Family Camping Trip

June 12 - 14 our family was invited by the McLean family to go on a camp out.

Little did I know that it was her step dad's family who was planning the camp out.

It was awesome we did nothing and the boy's had 8 other kids to play with and they ALL got along great! I'm so thankful they allowed our family to tag along!

This is what I stared at during our trip ...
This is what Tink did during our trip.
(though it not much different than what she does at home)
This is my Best Friends Daughter, she was enjoying shoveling dirt into
a bucket.


Corben Taking a break...
