Cake Boss that is!  I kid you not…If you’ve been following the blog, you know that anything involving sifting flour strikes fear into my heart, so passing the spatula over to my sister-in-law couldn’t make me happier! 

She’s always been an amazing baker:  crepes (hey!  We haven’t had those in a while…), cinnamon buns – from scratch! (This makes Christmas morning joyous.  Who cares about pressies, I’ve got a date with Mr. Cinnamon Bun and his side kick frosting!) and cupcakes…or “pup cakes” as my boy would call them.  I’m talking serious Bakerella competition!  She’s perfecting her recipe and my waist line is growing…gee thanks sis! 

But now she’s even been taking cake decorating classes!!  When will it all end??  I need to suture my pie hole (or cake hole as the case may be) as the desserts are getting more and more delectable as we speak.  Here’s her final project from her last class:

Amazing isn’t it!?!  However, remember that little will power issue I was mentioning…well, my beloved sis drops this off in all its butter cream glory and then feeds it to her staff at school!  The nerve!  Oh well, I forgive you…you saved me an extra 10 hrs at the gym as I was tempted to put the camera down and hunker down with a fork

Keep up the good work, ”Auntie Bim” :)

Yup, home again and back to reality and laundry, laundry, laundry.  My son produces so much laundry from all of his antics, it’s amazing!  Ah well, pictures to follow soon from our East Coast adventure soon…

But first, I get to photograph a yummy 6 dayer tomorrow morning and I’m soooo excited to meet this little guy.  Mom and Dad anxiously awaited his arrival and they are so in love with him!  Send sleepy, “squishy” thoughts his way please!

Until then, nighty night

This was the shot I originally wanted to get, but had some obvious issues (lens not wide enough, focus etc. etc.).  However, I still kind of like it…

Just don’t look to closely at the button…I think they’ll pop any minute!

Well, as some of you know, our 10 year wedding anniversary is coming up next month, so when presented with a self-portrait challenge by the ever so fabulous Dana Pugh, I thought hmmm…why not?  I know why not.  Focussing on yourself when you’re not there is hard!!  LOL!  Actually, it was a very tough challenge and I had all these visions of grandeur about churches, fields of hay, sunflare, oh my the possibilities!  But, as usual, reality got in the way.  So, I just tried a couple of things at home and worked on my ability to bounce my flash a little.  They are far from perfect and if I cared more, I would edit them a little better, but you know how that goes…

I’m just glad the dress still fits
