Made From Scratch

Since the weather cooled down a little this past Sunday, I promised my daughter that I would do some baking. This was made from scratch. I don't like to use box mixes anymore. I love to bake but hate cleaning up the after. This is a vanilla cake with a whipped butter cream icing & a strawberry jam filling. I have been thinking about taking a cake decorating class for some time, however, I can't seem to fit it into my busy schedule.

Ooooh...squeeze in the class! I'm finally biting the bullet and taking one that starts..um...I want to say September 29th? It's through CCAC. I figure those who read my blog deserve to see improvement in the cake decorating area. =) Your cake looks delicious--I love that particular flavor combination. =)

Disney Update

I need your help. My friends on facebook have left my some ideas, but I want to hear from you. I did hear that there are great deals like stay 4 nights get 3 nights free. 1. What is the best time of the year to go? We were thinking early June. Maybe the second week. 2. Where to stay? We were thinking in the park. 3. Do we buy the meal plans? Some suggestions: Take your beautiful little girl to Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boutique and make her a princess for an hour! Buy the meal plan if you're staying in a Disney resort- it's really, really, really cost-effective. And whatever you do, avoid 'It's a Small World'- it will turn you into a homicidal maniac. Try to find some books- knows the titles of some. They really helped me when we went. There's also some websites--she knows the addresses too! Good luck! It's a fun place & worth the time & effort.
