Skylar's B-day




So this is a little late, I forgot that some of you don't have an account on Facebook and have been asking for pics of the cakes!!! Sorry...

Skylar turned 3 on Sept 12th! Yikes, she's getting sooo big! She is sooo into Horton, so I did Horton cake! I won't tell you how long it took to make! And then destroy!

She LOVED it and I LOVED making it for her! And if I do say so myself, it turned out pretty good! Now, if you look closely, you will see a part of green frosting missing from the bottom layer... Hmm, wonder who did that? Oh, yeah, well, I won't mention any names, but it was the birthday girl! She was standing at the counter and Curt walked around the corner and she instantly covered her mouth! Then Curt said what did you do? She said nothing, but he saw the green around her mouth! BUSTED!!!!!!!!!!! Needless to say, I wasn't too happy, just becsaue it was on a spot where I couldn't fix as easily! Oh well... ;o) Below is how I put it all together. I used marshmellow fondant, if any of you wany the recipe, let me know and I will send it to you! It is so fun to work with and it tastes good! Very easy to flavor and color!
Enjoy!!!






This last pic is of all the leftover cake I cut from the bottom of the "topsy turvy" cake!




Marshmellow fondant on the bottom layer and crumb coating on top cake.



Marshmellow fondant on top layer. I didn't care that it didn't cover the top part. Grass is so uneven anyways... ;o)







Because you are working with powdered sugar to roll out the fondant, it gets a little messy! Ok, so maybe I am more messy than most people, oh well! SO much fun! :O) So, as you can see, the top pic, it's super messy, the next one, you can take a CLEAN unused paint brush dipped in water to get into the hard spots and then a DAMP papertowel to brush off the rest, and then it looks all nice and shiny! ;o)



Where Skylar took the piece out to "taste"!!!



Curt helped me dig out the right color of nerds for the cotton and bushes!





Whenever I make a cake, I TRY to make EVERYTHING edible! So, I took a strawberry malt ball, put it on a tooth pick, then added a green twizzler to make the "stem" of the cotton. Then I put pre-made (I normally make mine, but was to tired!) all around the malt ball, and then put pink nerds all over by hand! Super tasty! :O)







I used a strawerry malt ball, pushed a tooth pick in it, then put frosting all around and used green nerds for the bushes. I then took some of that pre-made frosting and colored it a couple of colors, put it in a baggie, cut a corner off, and made flowers. I made Horton out of the marshmellow fondant as well. I did his body and it wasn't staying up, it didn't hold it's shape. So Curt told me to get a plastic Easter egg and then mold the gray fondant around it. So,I did and it worked GREAT! Then for the hair, it's just chocolate sprinkles. Used a toothpick to hold the ears in place. So... That's how it's made! Super fun!

Cancelled

What a busy crazy day! Curt left right away this morning around 7 to get his blood taken.  He got back and then Audrey got here.  We played and picked up for a bit then left to go to the Health Department to get our TB test done.  We got there around 10ish and they told us we needed to make an appointment.  So we waited for a bit to make an appointment.  Thankfully they had an opening for today yet.  They only do these tests on Friday, so we really didn't want to have to wait until next Friday if at all possible.  Got an appointment for 1:15 and 1:30.  I was thinking ugh, either no nap and very little nap, but I didn't care!  ;) Got home, cleaned up a bit more, got the kiddos some lunch, then we turned around and left to go back to the Health Department.  (I did NOT see the water guy! ;)) Got back there, got asked some questions, wanted to know why I need the test...  I said adoption.  They saw all the other 5 kids and as...

Run-Aways

Wow, this has seriously been an eventful week! Starting off with the whole fabric softener mis-hap, which you can read on here if you didn't see or hear about it! Then Curt left Monday nite, Tuesday, well, it was ok, we had mom's group and the kids were acting up a bit, but nothing too bad... Then Wednesday I had a meeting at the church... It started out ok, the meeting wasn't long at all! Gavin came into the room and said he wanted to go play outside on the playground. I told him no, because I couldn't see him. I said, what if someone came by and picked you up and grabbed you and took you somewhere? Mommy would never see you again and I would be soooo sad! I said, I can't see you, so you need to stay inside. Well, not more than 3 minutes passed and Kotah comes up to me and says, uh, mom, Gavin is trying to go outside. So, I get up, go over to him and talk. I asked him what is he doing? he says, I WANT to play OUTSIDE! I said, bubby, I can't see you, so you can...

Update on Dad...

Mom called a little while ago. Dad will be admitted, they aren't sure yet what caused the pain. He had fever, but it now is broken. He is also a little jaundice, so that is why they were/are thinking that his stent moved... They had to poke him 3 different times to try and get an IV in, his veins were so tight because he was in so much pain, he was tensing up. They took some blood from both arms and are still waiting on the results of that. They also did a chest x-ray. So still waiting, but atleast he isn't in any pain. The gave him a shot of morphine to take care of the pain, and it finally worked.
