All this cold weather is keeping me inside and curled up under a thick layer of blankets. I've never been a huge fan of cold weather and with the constant artic blasts, I'm hating it even more.
So I haven't really been working on cute looks over the last several days, since I've been choosing warmth over style! But I promise I'll post some new outfits once my body thaws out!

I decided to make today's post about something that makes everyone happy. Cakes and cupcakes! You're smiling now aren't you?! Just the thought of a delicious cake that's so prettily decorated always puts a smile on my face too.
I decided to post all of my favorite cakes that I've made. I just finished my first cake decorating course at Michael's last night. And it was so much fun. It was just the basics in buttercream, but also the basics needed in decorating. I'm already signed up for course 2, where we'll learn how to make some more beautiful flowers.
I can't really say when I got into cake decorating. I started playing around with simple cupcakes and decided to try it more with different techniques. Then this past summer I really wanted to make my daughters birthday cake. I had never really used fondant before, but decided to give it a try. And 9 hours later I was finished!
