Happy Valentines Day

I knew today was going to be a busy day.  Every second was planned out and needed to go perfectly or it could be problematic.  I woke at 6:45 to find my two angels still fast asleep.  Already the day was looking up.  Usually they are bouncing out of bed at 6:15.  When I finally heard them stir, I went to let them out (because we lock them in) and my daughter had climbed into my sons bed and they were giggling over a book.  Such little things give you such joy.  Oh happy valentines day to me!  It was going to be a good day!  And it was.  Everything went like clockwork.  The kids were superbly behaved, I got everything done that needed to be done and I even fit in a phone conversation with my mum and my sister.  Days like these you feel like super mum ready to conquer the world.  Days like these give me strength to get through the days that go completely wrong.  

Part of my day was to make 40 cupcakes and a small birthday cake for my daughters kindergarten.  Because it was started on Valentines Day, hearts play a big part for the centre.  I used the logo as part of the cake and love the ombre ruffles up the side.  The afternoon was a beautiful high tea for all of the kids and the mums.  They even served the kids their own tea in cups and saucers.  A wonderful party for a special day.  Happy Valentines everyone.

Back to cakes!

Its been a few months since I have done a cake and what a way to get back to it then with these three fun cakes!  The Xtreme cake was so much fun to make as I love wakeboarding and snowboarding.  This was made for a 21st.  The tuxedo/board shorts cake was also for a 21st and was made to fit the theme casual/formal.  Sounds like a fun night!  Lastly the super cute truck was for a 1st birthday and I have to say was my most challenging cake to date, BUT I am super proud of how its turned out.  Its great to be back.
