Girlie Girl Cake

Madison Helton turned 11 just last week. Her mom Debbie ordered this darling birthday cake for her "Girl Friend Party". Madison likes all of the "girlie girl" stuff. She requested a cake that reflected her personality. Madison likes nail polish, lotions, and all of that "girlie" stuff....so....I though what would be more suiting than a cosmetic bag cake. The cosmetic bag is in her favorite colors of pink and purple. And of course...there's cool makeup for her to enjoy!
Happy Birthday Madison!

March Give Away Winner Is.......


Paula Morris!
Congrat's goes to Ms. Paula! John Ryan drew from the big bowl and you said you wouldn't register again because you didn't win the last two give aways!

Enjoy!

Today is Friday, March 28th and I just had to share Paula's darling Flamingo's and Andy Dunn's King of Cancer cookies.

Pink Flamingo's remind me of a trip my parents took me on when I was a child to southern Florida and we saw beautiful pink flamingo's and monkey's on a river boat ride. I think it was at Silver Springs, FL.

Neuroblastoma is called the "King Of Cancer" by the doctors at VCH in Nashville. So...what more fitting for Andy to have himself some "King Andy" cookies.

Here Comes Peter Cottontail

Today I have spent almost all day in the kitchen making some yummy treats for Mrs. Underwood and Mrs. Bain....but.....I just had to take time to make these sweet little cookies for our "Not So Young Adult Class" at church tomorrow.
Easter is such a wonderful time for us to reflect on the death and resurrection of Jesus. Where would we be and what would we be without him and his sacrifice.
I do know one thing...Ms. Paula will be the first in line to get one of these sweet little babies!

Birthday's Galore

Janie Underwood ordered this darling cake for her grandson who just absolutely lives, eats, and breathes football. This 3D cake is a homemade chocolate cake with his favorite teams represented in the corners. Mrs. Underwood said he loves UT and the Titans!
Happy Birthday!
I have a wonderful customer that I have done a few things for...Jeanine Bain from Smithville is just the sweetest. It's her mother's birthday and she wanted one of my fabulous homemade white cakes with red roses. Happy Birthday and Happy Easter!

Virus Alert!

To All My Blogger Friends,

Please take note to the following message!

There are people out there sending virus after virus on our blogspots. Two comments have been left on my web page from: kalar and galmaran. Both of these two have virus' attached to them. Please do not click on them! My good friend Paula Morris clicked on kalar and automatically had to do a virus sweep.

It's sad that in our times we have people who would be so vicious by sending something so it would attack their computer. My blogspot is set up so I can share my work and give a words of uplifting from time to time.

I hope that everyone has a wonderful Spring Break here in Warren County!

Spring Is In The Air & Birthday's Everywhere!


Today is Mrs. Reba Walker's Birthday. Her daughter Wendy said that her mother was a very traditional person. So...I chose to do this elegant homemade white cake in white and lavender buttercream icing. To set it apart from the rest, I chose to put beautiful fresh white and lavender daisy's on to make it a special cake from a daughter to her mother. Happy Birthday Mrs. Reba! Today is Avery McGiboney's birthday. Her mom Keri and I go way back. Her son Mason attended Day Care at my previous business. I met Avery about a month ago at Ray Dunn's birthday party. She was there with the Morris family. Avery is a very special little girl and loves Elmo! Keri told me that she loves chocolate just as much as her mom! This Elmo cake is my homemade chocolate cake with buttercream icing. Happy Birthday Avery!

Centertown Elementary Science Fair 2008

This year my son Dillon did his Science Fair Project on "Is All Of Our Water Safe To Drink?" We went to several different places in Warren Co. and took water samples. After 24 hours, we tested them at the Warren Co. Utility District Water Plant. We are so excited......Dillon won 1st place in the 6th through the 8th grade and was the Overall Winner & Best of Show in the Science Fair! I am so proud of Dillon!
This is my daughter Katie. She did a project with the help of her Daddy. Katie's project was titled. "How are roads and pavement made? Can I simulate this process with chocolate?" Katie did such a wonderful job with her project too! She was in the Top 3 in her class!

Katie and Dillon worked on their projects for about 2 weeks almost every day.

I am so very proud of my children! Way to go!!!!

It's #1 For The Tennessee Vols

Tanarra Grissom ordered these darling cookies for her hubby to take to work tomorrow.
These are a gourmet sugar cookie decorated in of course the traditional colors of a basketball and of course for our Number 1 Tennessee Volunteers.
John and I went with Terry and Patty Boyd a few weeks ago to see the Lady Vols play Rutger. It is absolutely an experience I will never forget!
I hope your hubby enjoys these! Thanks Tanarra, you and your entire family are wonderful customers!!!!!

This cake is a homemade white cake decorated with the most darling eatable baby booties and the sweetest pink and white fringe trim.
Enjoy!

Happy Birthday Leah!

Welcome Maggie May Sliger

The Sliger Family has been worshiping with us at Westwood for sometime now. Steve and Danielle have been blessed with two beautiful daughters!
Tomorrow our "Young Adult" class is going to give them a diaper shower. As most of you Mom's know that you never turn away diapers. I remember when John Ryan was born....John put the first pack of newborn diapers in the diaper stacker and he said "These will last us a month." They lasted less than a week.

I made this darling cake just with "Baby Maggie May" in mind. Pink booties and pink baby bears.

God blesses us with our children (the future of the church) and what a better way to welcome a baby into the congregation than a diaper shower!
