My Honor

I cried yesterday.

He walked up to me at the table I was serving at and wanted to know if he could have one of the dolls.  I asked him if he registered for one.  He said no, but his baby is due next month and he wanted a doll for it.

He would be gone.  Deployed along with my sister's boyfriend, Ruben. 

I gave him the doll.

And I cried.

My heart goes into each cake I make.  They bring me joy.  But these served to soldiers and their families that I don't know but love anyway - it was special and it was an honor.

God bless and God speed, 112th Military Police Batallion and 113th Military Police Co.

HOOAH!

 

. . . and every day.

This was my Mother's Day cake which I just realized she never blogged about.

It was lovely - just like her.

CLIF

I was a homeschooled chick. 

And I loved it.

Last year my mama and some of my other favorite moms started a new homeschooling group - CLIF - Christian Learning in the Family.

I had the pleasure and honor of making the cake for the end of the year party.

My New Toy!

My third post this weekend! Its been busy.

This is my new Cuisinart mixer. Isn't it grand? Mama likes the way it looks on her counters, but it's going with me when I leave!

It was expensive in the eyes of my college budget life, but already it made my weekend easier.

Grandpa Cake

Saturday night we celebrated my Big Papaw's 86th birthday.

Finding a cake to honor him was a little hard, but I saw an idea similiar to this online and loved it.

Vanilla cake with chocolate mousse filling and buttercream icing. The little people are fondant and the shag carpet is icing.

I was proud of the way it turned out, honoring my pastor great-granddaddy with a Holy Bible in his lap.
