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!

Whew...

written 4-7-18 Wow! It's been a while since I"ve blogged...  Crazy fun times around here!  :) We had a BIG EVENT for our church Friday night.  It was awesome!!!  All about where we are and what we need to finance our new church building we are building!  We were to take a card and pray about a number and donate for the building fund.  It was a FANTASTIC awesome night to say the least!!! Curt and I have been praying about a number that God wants us to give.  We both feel a number, we can't afford.  haha...  We really can't afford anything because we still have 2 adoption credit card bills we are paying off.  God has blessed us and given us what we need each month.  But we want to give, and adding it up and looking at our budget and writing it all out, it's not there.  Nothing is there!  But that's the way it was with adoption!  We took that step of faith! So that was Friday...  Saturday morning went to kettle bell class and I died...  I honestly haven&#

Ultrasound

First of all, thank you ladies for all those sweet comments you made on my last post! How sweet you are for saying those things! Made my day!!! :O) Second, went for the ultrasound on Monday and everything is fine! WHOO HOO!!!!! No more placenta previa!!!! The baby weighs about 2 1/2 lbs, and everything looks good! We took the kids with us so they could see their baby brother/sister, they LOVED it!! Gavin was FULL of questions though! What's that stuff she put on mommy's belly? Why do the lights needs to be off? I only see one eye. Where's the other eye? What was that, is that his hand or leg? Oh my.... ;o) The tech ended up putting up a 4D on the screen, so that was really cool to see! The cord was kinda in the way, but I still think it was awesome! I didn't have that with any of the other kids!!! :O) Maybe the trick is taking 3 other siblings in to see the 4th!!! ;o) I also only gained a pound, which I am trying to figure out, seeings how I pretty m

Grandma

Grandma passed away this morning at 1:35 am. She had been totally un-responsive for the past couple of days. Yesterday we got a call and said she only had an hour, they said they made the mistake and grandma heard them, so she kept hanging on! Her feet had been cold and almost black, but they were starting to get warm and she was taking more breaths, but still very shallow. Finally she gave in and went home! The family seems to be doing ok, just please keep them in your prayers! The viewing will be Sunday and the funeral on Monday. I am not sure of the times yet, they are meeting with the funeral director in an hour. I am not going to be at the musical practice Monday nite, so Sandy May and Jena R are in charge that nite! I will have the lines assigned so the kids will know what their parts will be! Please help them out this week!!!! Thank you!!!! Thanks again for all of your prayers!!!!
