Final cake coarse 2

I forgot to post my final cake I made for my coarse 2 in the Wilton cake classes I am taking at Michaels. I love love love these classes and have just started coarse 3. I made it for Peggy's birthday. Everyone just loved it!! I was a bit surprised at how much I enjoyed making the flowers. They are made of royal icing so they are very hard, but that didn't stop my kids from enjoying them. Nothing like a hard sugary snack, I guess!!! LOL!!!

Daisy's 10th birthday

Well usually 8 is the last birthday party. After that the kids get a bunch of money and Chris or I take them shopping and they can buy whatever they want. Well I since decided that they can take the money, or have a pizza party with friends. So Daisy picked a party and so she was in charge. She did so well planning games and keeping the party going. She is usually quite intimidated by so many peers, but she did so well at her party. I am so proud of her. She is growing up so fast. She wanted a daisy cake for her birthday cake. I enjoy making it and now that I have done stars with icing at cake class I am no longer scared to do them. I really like how her cake turned out and one friend at her party told me it was the best cake she had ever tasted. hehehe

Autumness take 1

We took the kids to get some pictures taken in the autumness before all the leaves fell to the ground. The kids had so much fun just running around and posing for pictures. And let me tell you it is not so fun for mom to take group pictures of her 8 little kids!!!

Here are the rest of them......

A birthday party finally!!!

Zipporah and Sydney finally got their birthday party. Zipporah turned 5 August 19th and Sydney turned 5 on September 10th. Though we celebrated each individually on their special day as a family, I hadn't done a friend party with them yet. I decided to wait a bit, so that they could invite a few of their kindergarten classmates. So yesterday afternoon, friends from church and school arrived and we had a party for them. The kids had so much fun playing together, that they were only interested in playing one game I planned. The cakes were a hit and I was delighted with how they turned out.

Cake classes

Me and my friend Marissa started taking cake decorating classes this month. Our first course we decorated 2 cakes and a bunch of cupcakes. The classes are really fun and even though I have been decorating cakes for my kids birthdays for years, I have been learning alot. I plan on taking all the cake decorating classes they offer at Micheals. Course 2 started beginning of October, can't wait!!!!

Calliope has a tooth

Calliope got her first tooth today. What a trooper. She showed no signs of teething at all. No runny nose, no fussiness, no nothing, except she has been liking to chew on things alot. So today she was just snacking on my finger while I was doing my visiting teaching and I could feel her tooth. At almost 6 and a half months, she is my youngest to get a tooth.
