Sorry it's been so long

April 2011, my living room & garage ceiling collapsed.  My landlord's "handy man" took from start to finish 4 months to replace my roof and repair my ceilings.

A lil bake date

My friend Annie and I baked cookies this afternoon.  We made a new recipe.  They turned out cute and delicious.  Defiantly a keeper.

Ice Truck killer style =]

Just a lil baking

  

My friend Annie and I baked a ton of goodies last weekend.

L-R: Christmas Cherries, Toffee Squares, Brownies, Cake Batter Chocolate Bark

I was craving apple pie so I made a couple mini pies ♥

A much needed baking date

Couple of weekends ago Annie and I got together and did some baking.  We baked Macar00ns.  They were not the hardest but they were not simple either.  All said and done, they are cute and very good but I don't think we'll be making them any time soon. 
Sorry my pictures are so horrible....

Dying to bake

My WMom got me a lil goody and I just had to share because I love them so much......

"Blood splatter" cupcake liners ♥

Red, White, & Blue

Jason and I went over to my brothers house for the 4th 0f July. We started the day by going to Pi0neer Park and enjoyed some yummy BBQ for lunch. Later in the day we headed over to my brothers house for dinner. I was in charge of dessert. I have been wanting to make this cake ever since I saw it. It was fun and not too hard to make. I loved the simple look of the red and blue circles but I loved the inside even more. I didn't tell anyone at the party about the inside so it was a complete surprise and what a good one it was.

EVERYONE LOVED THE CAKE ♥

I heart these

I'm having a EAH party on Friday, so I had to make heart shaped goodies

we sent out heart themed invites

It's been a while since I've made these, & now if Friday would hurry up......

because I don't need to eat anymore =]

Campfire not mandatory

I made these wonderful S'more cupcakes today,

OMG they are awesome!!

With an extra marshmallow & ganache =]

Halloween cake pops

My sister Josie and I made Halloween cake pops. The ones below are mine.

Love them

Josie made some really cute ones including some pumpkins, ghosts, one's with sprinkles, & zombies. They all turned out awesome.

21 days till Halloween
We got our pumpkins, so we'll be carving in the next week =]

Joys in life

Annie & I had a baking date last Saturday. We made oreo cheesecake cupcakes (click name for recipe) and OMG they are killer. I had to send several home with my sister and send some out to my parents house because we would have ate them ALL. I will defiantly be making these again. After baking we enjoyed some pizza and watched TV. We had a great night with some awesome friends.

 

Celebrating early

I picked Gianna up this afternoon and went to Wa1mart and got some groceries. After we got done shopping we went home. My Wmom called and needed someone to watch the 2 boys (she had an appt already and my dad was working) so she dropped them off. The boys loved being over while Gianna was over and Gianna loved playing with them as well. We all had a fun afternoon.

I even managed to finish my cake pops this afternoon.

Baking, graduation, xbox, oh my...

Annie (my friend) and I made about 100 cake pops this weekend. We made a batch for her bridal shower and I made a batch for Josie's graduation. We spent about 5-6 hours on Sunday making them, and boy am I glad to be done. Poor Annie still had another batch to make at home. After Annie & James get back from their honeymoon, Annie & I are planning a baking date to make cheesecake pops....YUMMY! I can't wait.

I'm so excited for Josie's graduation on Friday. We're having a BBQ on Saturday for the family and a few friends. I talked to Josie the other day and she's freaking out, in a good way. Crazy to think my sister will be a high school graduate in 4 days. I'm so proud of her!
Jason has been "tracking" his xbox since Thursday last week. He informed me today that it has left the repair center and is being shipped today. He's suppose to have it at the end of this week. If he gets it back Friday, it was only gone like 15 days. That's not bad. You hear all these horror stories about taking weeks and weeks, so we were preparing for the worst. He's super stocked & he's been really good about not complaining to me about it, because he knows what I'll say. It has been nice being xbox free, but I am kinda excited for him because I know how bad he wants it back.

Cuteness

I just got done making these bad boys.....I love love love them. I'm taking a bunch up for my sisters graduation next Friday.

Our first baking date

Saturday afternoon Annie (my friend) came over and we made cake pops. We started about 1:00 and didn't finish till about 4:00. Thankgoodness she had brought the cake over, I didn't make one! We mixed everything up and put the mix into the freezer. We would pull a little out at a time and roll into balls (I say we but Annie really did most of them=] It's easier to roll when it's been chilled (but not to chilled or they will crack) Then dip them in your melted chocolate. We got about 56 balls(Ithink). Annie's wedding is in 3 weeks and she is making these for her bridal shower. Her wedding colors are hot pink and black. I love love love her sprinkles. My sister & her friend *M* (you saw her in the prom pictures not to long ago) came down and visited us after the racehorses. They were only here for about an hour cuz they had to get back for the rodeo. While they were here they helped wrap and tie the cake pops, which was a lot of help to us. After they left we went and picked up Annie's man James and went and got some pizza. Jason & I had never had this pizza and it was the bomb, we'll defiantly be going back. After dinner we chilled with Annie & James (and I did not pass out which is awesome for me) for a while till they left for home around 1:00. I love when you have those kind of unexpected nights where you really did nothing but hang out with some BA friends and eat some BA pizza.

Baking like crazy with a splash of birthday party

I came across this blog while searching, baking cake blogs, it was within the top 10. I fell in love ♥ immediately with her cake pops . I've made them twice now. My first batch was good, but my second batch was excellent. I'm so addicted to making these...not sure my friends & family are minding though =]

I ran out of freezer room <--- span="" style="font-size: 78%;">My husband thought this was sooo smart, What can I say he's my biggest fan =]

My one and only pink ♥ one, long story

This bunch is for my dad's family. I gave my lil sis the pink one, I knew she would love it.
I ♥ them...
YUMMY!!!
Saturday afternoon we went to the YMCA for my little brother Trey's birthday party. The party went really good. Trey's birthday is on Wednesday, the big 10.
