Princess Party!

Last Sunday, my little niece, Leighton, turned three!  They live almost 4 hours away, so I don't get to see them nearly as much as I would like, but since my mom was headed their way, she was able to drop off Leighton's birthday cake.  Leighton is sweet and sassy and all girl.  She loves princesses, dancing, and wearing her "pretty dresses."  She has called me twice in the last week and thanked me for her cake and says that she wishes I was there to play with her.  And that Chris and Miley can come too :)

Here is her princess cake.

Every time I talk to Leighton, she asks about Miley.  Leighton, this one's for you :)

Look Whooooo's Turning One!

A few weeks ago my sweet neighbor's little boy turned one!  She asked me to help plan his party, but she is an expert party planner herself and everything turned out so cute!  The party had a fall theme, fantastic decorations, and an awesome chili bar.

I wish I would have taken pictures of the decorations, but alas, all I got was the cake :)

I think he liked it :)

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!

Every year I go to the NC State Fair to see the animals, eat fried food (this year they had deep fried cookie dough which was amazing!), and see the exhibits.  One of my favorite exhibits to see is the decorated cake competition.  Every year I marvel at how talented the bakers are and how amazing the cakes look.  This year I decided to enter a cake, and I won 3rd place in my division!
