So I threw my darling Tsunoda a Baby Shower and took on the responsibility of the CAKE. I've been pretty obsessed with the 'Cake Boss', he's AMAZING!! I figured it wouldn't be that hard to produce a fondant cake. What? Roll it out, place it over the cake and ta-da I'm the next Cake Boss.

Wrong. After 6 hours of mixing, baking, freezing, rolling, placing, decorating and ribboning... it was done. There were some choice words, almost tears but it was worth it!!

Then what did I do? I volunteered to make Steph's Baby Shower Cake. No big deal, I've been through this already. I'm pretty sure I dreamt about cakes every night that week. I was going to be prepared, this cake was going to be easy, a piece of cake- LITERALLY!

A few trips here and there for the preparation, I found some edible paint at Fun-Finity. That turned out to be a mess!! The colors were totally off, what was mint green turned out forest green! Needless to say I sucked it up and just did it.

Luckily I have Mike around, he's my fondant roller. That stuff comes so stiff that it's nearly impossible to flatten. He made these cakes possible.

Anyways... about 7 hours later Steph's cake was finished. Phew what a relief!

Mike says I can't make anymore cakes, it stresses me out too much. But I freaking love it! Hopefully it'll get easier as I go. Oh and look at that... another prego lady at the salon. Hmmm... we'll see.

Okay heres the cake in progress... don't look at my kitchen,

it was SUCH A MESS!

I experimented with the poka-dots, changed my mind

Alright, I'm very ashamed to admit that I really don't take pictures. I look back at so many fun things Mike and I have done and I have nothing to show for it. Well of course I have memories, but we both know that wont last long. Guess it's all those chemicals??

When we were first dating I was a maniac about pictures, everything had to be documented! Ha I'd force Mike to smile or at least look at the camera, back then I had more energy. Mike is not a picture person. I seriously laugh every time I attempt, because I get the cross eyed, looking off into space, crazy face or something covering his mug. I'm going to make a New Years Resolution 2 months too late, I'm going to actually pull the camera out and no matter what face Mike does, I will document. Haha, he may look handicapped- that's alright, I'll take what I can get.

These are the pictures of my man...
