More Gingerbread Houses!

I invited my nieces and their families over to make gingerbread houses and it was such a joy to watch the little ones making their houses!  I had everything all set up when they got here....

Everyone quickly got to work!

At the end of the gingerbread party... everyone had their own unique creation.... family memories to last forever... and I can not say how much joy it brings me to have my nieces and their families come over and spend the day like this.  Thanks Kids!  Hope you all had fun!

Gingerbread Houses!

I baked gingerbread houses and took them to Medford with me last weekend so our grown up kids could decorate them.  What a hoot!  It brought me great joy to see them each creating their own special house.  They each were unique and fun!

Chocolate Fudge Cake with Fresh Vanilla Bean Buttercream

Courtney & Colton

Courtney brought a picture of a cake she had fallen in love with and we used it for inspiration and changed it to make it her very own special cake.  We suprised Colton with the groom's cake.  When I met with them he said he just wanted something in camo for the wedding... so I made a special groom's cake for him in camo!  The bottom tier of the groom's cake was to look like a tree stump with their initials carved into it.  I added a boat on the top with fishing gear inside.  And a few ducks and cattails completed the cake.   And I also did mini cupcakes for them.  Each cupcake had a mini sunflower on it.

I had to do a little photoshop work on this picture.  When I went to deliver the cake it was very windy outside and I set it up in the kitchen indoors and they will move it out later.  So I cropped out the background.

WELCOME BACK STAFF @ CCMS!

Here we go for another year at school! Most of you know me but for those who do not, my job is as a Middle School Secretary. I have been at the school forever... starting to see kids of kids that were in middle school when I first started working there.

This year will be a trying year for CCSD as the district is in financial problems. We have had to cut staff and class sizes are going to be on the very large size this year. I wanted to do something to welcome our wonderful staff back to work and to get the year off to a "Sweet" start! So I baked cupcakes for them and decorated them with little bookworms! I hope they enjoy eating them as much as I enjoyed making them!

The Theme is INSPIRE, ENCOURAGE, TEACH... WELCOME BACK!
