A Kiss is NOT just a KISS.....

My newest adventure began with a request for a Hershey Kiss Cake for a friend. I then took the idea of and transformed it into individual ones for my own daughter's birthday party at school. Needless to say the kids LOVED them! Who wouldn't love cake and frosting nested inside a Hershey's chocolate shell? I posted a pic of Jordan holding one of the "cakes" so you could get an idea of the size. Take care and have a great weekend.

I'm so crafty....

I LOVE THIS!!!! One of my pregnant friends has this on her myspace and I had to add it to my blog. Enjoy!

A girl at work asked me to do a painting for her to give as a gift to a dear friend who is expecting.

I hope she enjoys the painting...

Tip Junkie Contest

Tip Junkie is having a contest for the "word" of 2009. http://www.tipjunkie.blogspot.com/

When I first saw this on Tabetha's blog I was very intrigued at what her word was and what she had to say....her word for 2009 is "relax". I started thinking of what my "word" would be for the new year and I tossed around "enlightened," "pure," "inspire," "potential," and "vital," all beautiful words, but the one that my heart spoke was "aspire." Picking my word for 2009 and defining it for my life and sharing it with all of you is a great experience and I encourage you to find your WORD, whatever it may be, and share it with others. Thanks Tabetha.

ASPIRE....as·pir'er To have a great ambition or ultimate goal;
To have a fervent hope or aspiration: dream. Idioms: reach for the stars, set one's heart on. To strive toward a goal: aim, seek. Idioms: set one's sights on. To soar.

The Wedding...

It is official....Courtney McClain and Jason Rutherford are now Mr. and Mrs. Jason Rutherford. The ceremony was beautiful and the reception was awesome! Diane Morton did most of the food and it was the "bomb diggity bomb"! Congratulations Jason and Courtney...have a great time on your 10 day cruise!!!! Well...here it is the REAL cake and some more pics of the food....I will post some of the event when I get them-I was kinda busy and didn't make any pics other than these.

Chocolate mints....the house speciality around here. TIP: Never put mint molds in the dishwasher. The ones I was going to use kinda got a little warped. Luckily I had these as well and it turned out better than the original plan. It's all good.

I don't know...it would be a toss up between this and the twinkie cake.lol

Vanilla, Chocolate, and Italian Cream cakes iced in buttercream and topped with rolled fondant. I hand painted the scroll work with food coloring and a #2 paintbrush and added a satin ribbon border.
