Drum Roll Please....

It was a great weekend! Hungry Henry, my fabulous hubby, celebrated his birthday so of course I made a cake! He played drums junior high through college so a Drum Set cake was pretty fitting and long over due! The drums were made a week before out of fondant. I probably should have used rice krispies and wrapped in fondant because the big drum was a little heavy, but how else would I learn! The cake was vanilla with a vanilla buttercream icing. I don't like to put fondant on the whole cake, only as decoration. So I smooth out my buttercream with a Viva paper towel to get it nice and smooth!! Viva las buttercream!!! haha. The music notes, the H on the drum and drum silhouette on front of cake was cut out using my Cricut Cake machine and the cartridge Quarter Note! Soooo fun! Alexa stayed with her Ma and Pa for a few days so no Bento Box lunches for 3 days....my next bake order is not until first weekend in March so I am going to have to find something else to keep me busy!!! Could be trouble...haha

The Letter Q...

Today was show and tell for the letter Q for Miss A. So with some help from some fabo friends on facebook we got some ideas and decided to do a house made out of Q-tips and a Queen Bee! I showed Alexa how to stack the q-tips and she cut out a blue door, drew a flower, sun and a bee with a crown to go with the house! Of course we realized we were out of craft glue so I had to use my hot glue gun. My horrible luck, poor Alexa touched the glue and it burned her thumb, poor baby. She almost didn't want to take the house this morning, just a quarter. BUT....this morning I told her we could do a matching queen bee lunch and she had a change of heart and decided to take her Qtip art house and queen bee masterpiece! Yeah!!! For her lunch we did a Queen Bee Quesadilla!! Another Q....Quesadilla! Green beans with flower fruit roll ups, fig newtons, pretzels, and some tomatoes. TGIF!!!! This weekend is Hungry Henry's bday!! Aka, my hubby and Alexa's daddy. So we are planning a special cake...stay tuned!

Googly Eyes!

Aaaahhhh yes once again Miss A gives me the giggles and inspiration for lunch. Some googly eyes and a big goofy nose!! Of course I did get in a little trouble that I did not put a mustache. I may have to add that before we leave, don't think she will let it go out the door without it!!! haha. So we were out of bread but we did have a bagel! HEY...they are still healthy and still bread! So a bagel sandwich, summer sausage, cheese, and olive eyes all held together by a green pick. A tomato nose with a strawberry & grape border and some corn. I have just been informed by Miss A a grape mustache will work beautifully...oy vey. I have created a monster!!!

Have a good day!!!

Baa Baa....Lamb?

So Alexa has this little Lamb puppet that she loves to sleep with. We lost it for awhile and recently found it..so guess what was my inspiration???? haha. Leftover noodles from last night with just some butter and cheese this morning. A sheep/lamb of hot dog and cheese. Some green bean tulips and tomatoes....which really are a fruit right? Think she will fall for that? She does looooove tomatoes! Also added a sheep dog pick so she can use to eat with! hee hee....

It's hump day!! WOO HOO!!!

Flower Cookie Bouquets....

Just finished an order for three Thank You cookie bouquets. Must say they went pretty quick. I baked the cookies this morning about 5am and then came home and got busy icing! Even had a few for the fam to have with dinner this evening. Now working on a personal cake for a special someone this weekend. My hubby!!

Sweet Kitty....

Good morning! Hope everyone survived the chocolate, cookies, sweet indulgence of Valentine's yesterday. This morning was a simple little sweet kitty sandwich with a fruit roll up nose, mouth and bow. Cheese ears and a few chips along with some flower fruit roll up accents. Alexa loves turkey so I made a little turkey flower thing and stuck in there as well to assure she has plenty to eat! Some corn, her choice, and some grapes and raspberries. Is the p supposed to be silent when we say raspberries? Because I always spell it like it sounds and spell check catches it. Do we need the p? Can we protest somehow? Anyway...have a great one!

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

This was ALL Miss A...she wanted hearts and lips! She is one goofy girl!! We have two heart shaped sandwiches, cheese cut into a shape of lips and a heart, and a Baby Bella cheese with some red lips and a bow. A heart shaped boiled egg; thanks Mimi and Ben for the egg mold. Heart shaped fig newtons and green beans in a heart cup. I added a special cookie just for her! She is soooo amazing, sweet, and beautiful inside and out. I hope she has a fabulous Valentine's Day. Valentine's day is about love of life, friends, and family. Hope everyone has a fabulous day! If not...it's just one day...there is always tomorrow!!
