poor Rocket...
last week, Rocket got the big snip snip...or should i say plop plop ~lol~ ok, that was bad! forgive me?
poor thing...for the 1st 24 hrs after surgery, he couldn't find a comfortable way to sit...so he resorted to laying around like this...

(he is totally knocked out asleep here!)
which also happens to be the way he lays when ur rubbing his belly & he passes out ~lol~
but he's perfectly fine now! healed up nicely & back to his old self...maybe a little less anxious to find that special girl dog ;0) but back to the Rocket we know & love

the trophy...
this past Saturday was Jaden's Cub Scout Blue & Gold banquet...it's sort of a year-end thing (even tho they'll still have activities over the summer)...parents, grandparents, aunts & uncles come out to enjoy a big meal & support their young Scout
this is also the time when the boys display their derby cars & have their family members vote on the "most original" design...each quarter in your kiddos' bag/box/can = 1 vote...& all the money raised goes back into supporting our boys' Scout Pack
pins/badges/beltloops are also awarded to the boys...Jaden earned some of each that night!
then the moment that the boys have been waiting for...time for the trophies to be handed out!
Jaden knew he'd be getting one...he won the Pinewood Derby race in January & knew a 1st place trophy was coming his way...when he checked out the trophy table & found out his was blue (if u know Jaden, u know everything must be blue), he flipped his lid! ~lol~
& when the Webelo I top 3 were called up, u could see how proud he was to be included...look at that puffed out chest!!!
he was super proud to win at the actual race! but having the real-live trophy, in his hot little hands, totally sealed the deal...plus it's BLUE! ~lol~Wednesday, March 2, 2011

weekend cakes...
first up was this Batman cake for 5yo Aiden...it was fudge chip, iced in buttercream & decorated with fondant accents...here's what Aiden's mom had to say about their cake...
"Thanks again for the great cake! Everyone loved it! It was delicious!"

then came this Oso cake for 1yo Jack...Jack loves Special Agent Oso! & his mom had the clever idea of having Oso pop out of the cake like a Jack in the box ;0)
the cake was fudge chip, iced in buttercream & accented with fondant...the box on top was also cake & Oso was made of rice cereal treats & decorated in fondant..."He loved this cake, and so did everyone else! We had to give him the bear and he just looked at it for the longest time. Another big hit by Sharon!"
i also donated a big round cake & about 100 cupcakes to the Cub Scouts on Saturday night, for their Blue & Gold banquet...but i forgot to take pics of em! i'll be posting more about that soon tho - Jaden got his 1st place trophy that night! ;0)
thx for looking!

first up was a Minute to Win It cake...it sounds like Madison's party was gonna be super fun...she needed a cake to match the theme...
it was yellow cake, iced in buttercream & decorated in fondant items...100% edible!i also made some ladybug cupcakes for Madison's party...they were fudge chip
here's what Madison's mom had to say..."Thank You SOOOO much for the AWESOME cake and cupcakes! Not only did it look amazing, it tasted amazing! The cake was a big hit with everyone! I can't thank you enough!"
next came my baby girl's cake...Corinn turned 7 this week, so we had her party this past Sunday...
she took it pretty easy on me this year...she said she just wanted a white Valentine's cake...& it needed to have a kitty on top...& the kitty's spots had to be hearts!
of course, it was fudge chip - her favorite flavor!
as soon as we sang Happy Birthday to her & she blew out the candles (& i clicked stop on this video), she grabbed the kitty's head & popped it in her mouth...she's too funny!thx for looking!

weekend cakes...
first up were some cute farm cupcakes...
the cupcakes were fudge chip, iced in buttercream...then i topped each one with little fondant farm animals
next up was a CSI cake...17yo Jared wants to go into forensic science, so he wanted a cool crime scene cake for his birthday...
it was a yellow cake, filled & iced with buttercream...the crime scene on top was all hand modeled from fondant...i painted the hardwood floor with food coloring to get the realistic effect...Jared thought his cake was awesome!
the last one is not exactly appropriate to post here...here's a sneak peek tho...
you'll have to go to the adult themed album on my site to check it out...the password is "naughty" (only if you're 18 or older) & it's the first cake in the "for her" sub-album...i hear that it was quite a hit at Tammy's 30th birthday party ;0)
thx for looking!
