switching gears

Here's my dilemma. I started this blog to show off my cakes and stuff. Then Facebook happened and I switched posting here to posting on my Facebook cake page. I want to reclaim this blog to just write what's on my mind. Random stuff from family, events, workouts, food but still separate from my lunch blog. I love my blog address as it is my first name, but I don't know what to do with my cake posts. Part of me wants to delete all the posts. Part of me wants to keep it. Several posts are used for inspiration on different blogs, with links going back to this blog. A handful of pictures are pinned on Pinterest. I don't know. Maybe I'll just treat it like my stuff at home: Stuff that I don't know what to do with, what to use it for, but may use it at some point in the future, so I just shove them in our office/guest room aka "storage/hoarder room". I'll keep them a little longer and maybe they'll get buried after several new posts.

William's GO, DOG. GO! Party

I love original parties. This party was for William, Frances's son, who turned 2 today. I helped Frances with Alexa's butterfly/dragonfly birthday party last fall. This party was based on Go, Dog. Go by P.D. Eastman. Sure, there are a lot of inspirations for doggy parties, but there are elements from the book. The cars, the stoplight, the party hats... The color theme of the decorations and food are based on the book cover.

Dessert Table: paper cones w/puppy chow, stoplight pretzel sticks, "Go, Dog. Go" cake, oreo pops and cupcakes, strawberry and chocolate cakeballs, lollies and doggy bone treats, and 2-layer striped jello jigglers.

monkey and mod!

Cake for Charlie, Jammie's son! We love Curious George!

Very chic, mod, and too cute baby shower cake! I love polka dots (if you can't tell with most of my cakes) and this cake for Sam's baby shower is one of my favorites. :)
