Shawna's Cake



This one was actually a fake cake used for Shawna (the lady that is making my AMAZING wedding dress!) She needed put together a wedding display with some of the dresses she's made and thought it would be a good idea to have a mock wedding cake to complete the wedding feel! So beneath the marshmellow fondant that I figured out how to make by hand, is only styrofoam! She asked me to make it the night before so I didn't have enough time to make the third layer, but I think it still turned out cute!

Brandon's Birthday and Father's Day


This was Brandon's 5th birthday cake. He really wanted a Wally cake and I didn't have much time, so the cake topper was perfect! Father's Day also happened to land on Brandon's birthday so I made a surprise cake for my dad! It wasn't much, but hey, his cake couldn't out-shine the 5 year old's cake!

Ode to Wisconsin

Yep...we're in Wisconsin...if you look close enough, you'll see what I mean!

KENOSHA! My Hometown

I was so excited to visit Kenosha. I hadn't been back since I left almost 6 years ago! It was even more special because I was able to show Devin all of the places that meant a lot to me as I grew up. We went to church all morning, brunch at an old family friend's house, drove all around town, and then had dinner at another family friend's house! It was a really good, tiring day!

Kenosha!

My Elementary School, Middle School, High School, the harbor, and the Lighthouse downtown




My hometown!

My house!

This is the house I grew up in...it was soooo sad because the new owners have completely neglected it and let the weeds grow out and let the paint chip and it doesn't look like the place it used to be! The park in the picture is right across the street from my house.


Fun at the Apartment

I spent an entire day cleaning Devin and the guys' apartment. There were four pairs of shoes blocking the entrance so I lined them up on the stairs so they wouldn't trip on them when they walk in the door.
The guys thought it would be funny if they brought out all of their shoes and lined the entire stairway with them...that's what you get when they have too much energy late at night! It was the perfect picture op too!
