It's all about the cake!

Well! This weekend Past I was a part of my Lifelong friends wedding. We have been friends since we were 3 years old. Nearly 26 years later we are still buddies and have shared some incredible moments including the birth of her son (which I was coaching her through) and now her wedding!! While helping her plan the wedding, My best friend Sarah offered to do her wedding cake. Yes the same Sarah that has been responsible for all the wonderful baked masterpieces on my blog. Well I have to say folks she has truly out done herself this time.

First we planned a bride & groom pool party with all the bridal party as well. In the spirit of the pool party we went with a tropical feel. Sarah decided to test the waters of the fondant making world and make a themed cake to bring to the party. Here it is.

Is that not the most FABULOUS, SUPER, AMAZING cake you have ever seen? I love it and the fondant tasted SO good, and was definitely worth the work it took to make it. Right Sarah? :)

Now with out further ado, I give you the Wedding Showstopper!!!!

We did have a few issues with the roses as they were so pretty, but incredibly heavy so we had to make a few reinforcements for them and saved the day. Sarah (I know you are reading this even though you never leave me comments....LOL) You did a super fantastic job on this cake and you will forever be my own personal cake lady! Not only are each every one of your baked pieces of art delicious, but made with lots of TLC. Thanks for adding such a special touch to Melissa's Day!!!

Stay tuned, I will be posting more wedding stuff in the next few days as well as some more family pics. You know a few things to keep you occupied while I get my mojo back in line and make some cards. I am so much in with drawl and I have been DIEING to use some of my new Cuttlebug folders. I even got my grubby little hands and some of the new seasonal release folders!!! Love the spiderwebs! See you soon!

Long Over Due

..or so I am told! (Not pointing any fingers CHAR...lol) So I have been getting things together. you know summer time yard work, getting out and being active outside. I have been walking with my friend down the street, making some serious miles! I am down 5 lbs from the last week and a half. Yippee! But more to go. So to say that I have not been stamping much is an understatement, but alas, I have a some new things for you as soon as I photograph them.

Today I have a little card set and some SUPER stunning Cupcakes to share with you. One of our friends Tanis had her birthday a while back and plans didnt come together for her bday suprize so we did it belated. First I will show you the card I made her. The rest of the cards are made to match but for her to use and last I will show ya the cupcakes...SO CUTE you will want some too!

The card over there turned out super cute but was not quite enough. Sarah suggested that ad some "Dew Drops" her DH was kind enought to get for me while he was in Vancouver (even if I do own him a favor now...lol) So I added dew drops along the twill ribbon 2 on top and 3 below. I also added some clear sparkle stickles to the brown/pink layer of the ovals. It really is a shame I forgot to re-take my pictures before she got them.

So I Like how these all turned out. I did add dew drops to all the cards so that them matched and then of course wrapped them up in a PTI clear Card Box as the finishing touch! The paper I used, in case anyone is wondering, is from the Slutry Collection from Basic Grey.

And now the minute I know you have been waiting for (ya dont hide from it. I know I lost you all as soon as I mentioned Cupcakes...LOL) These precious little gems were baked and decorated by my very own friend Sarah. I was actually speechless when I seen them. Thats saying a lot coming from me.

Ok and I JUST realized she did not send me the picture yet but she will in the morning so I will add it in when I get it...aww shucks now you have to wait!!
OK...Here is the Picture...Weeeeeeeee!!! Are these not the most delicious cupcakes you ever did see??

Well Have great day. I hope all my American friends had a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend. One last thing...I GET TO GO SHOPPING FOR A BRAND NEW VW JETTA TODAY!!!! I am SUPER excited, yet I will still have to mourn the loss of my truck if we use it as a trade in.

See you again soon!
