Easter Egg Cake

This was one of the funnest cakes thus far!! I was so cheap that I refused to buy an egg shaped baking pan- so instead I made two 8" x 8" cakes.  I stacked them and froze them.  Once they are froze it is super easy to shape into an oval!!  I made sure to learn from the baptism cake and make the fondant thicker.  Thicker fondant helps hide all the imperfections of the cake!!-Luv Meg

Before-After

Fondant shaped feet and pretzel rods!

The close up!-sort of reminds me of the wicked witch's
feet when the house fell on her!

Poor lil fella!  It was bound to happen!

Who Doesn't Love a Good Cake Topper

Baptism Update

I could not help myself with the powdered white donuts-
they matched my theme and when else do
you get to buy 4 boxes of the delicious treat

Blue Fondant- Easy to cute

Carissa! took the time to shape a cross with individual sprinkles!
Martha would be proud!

Because I threw my back out the day of my son's Baptism I was not on top of my photography!!!  But alas... my good friend Maria took photos of the great cupcakes my friends Carissa and Alexandra helped make (in line with the color theme of course because they are as OCD about party designs as I am!)

Some German Chocolate

Some German Chocolate for a German friend at work!

I have learned to fill my cupcakes to the top cause I like them to look like they are overflowing.  For years the box has said fill cupcake 3/4 full- but I have thrown caution to the wind and filled them to the very top and BAKED!!  I have some photographers in my office- great pics huh? - Happy Thursday -MEG

Herbs Contained!

This morning Megs sent me a photo on Pininterest:

I was so excited that I told her I was doing it!  Today!  I have oregano in my current garden that is completely out of control and I was contemplating just getting rid of it all together.

But we also put a patio in a few years ago and I've always disliked how it met up with the lawn:

It just looks like a mess and the lawn overtakes it and the leaves get stuck etc. This looks a lot like the picture above, ha!  Listen, It's spring things are a little haggard.

THIS will be where my herb pots will go!  Yes, I can see it now!  

So, I dug some holes as best as I could because I'm weak and our lawn is filled with giant tree roots and rocks.  Then I put some weed blocker down to hopefully really just kill the grass (this is wishfull thinking which I do often).  I'm glad I am doing this project when husband is not here because Iknow he would have me leveling these pots.

I filled the pots with dirt and put the herbs I had in.  and mulched around the pots. I really love it.  Now just a few more holes for mint, parsley, thyme, cilantro... oh boy!  In a few months I'm sure it will look like that chateaux's!
