We’ve discovered what kind of dog Nani is! Since we adopted Nani from the Gainesville Pet Rescue, we have no information about her history or even her breed. In fact, the vet expected her to be at least 20 pounds at maturity. Needless to say, that’s not happening since she’s turning 2 this month and …
This week, I made a cake for a family friend who was graduating from high school. The graduation happens to coincide with her own birthday as well as the birthdays of 4 other family members. Rather than combine the birthdays and graduation into one giant cake, I made two cakes to sit side-by-side. Besides, Jordyn …
This weekend, Nani had a blast! It started with an exciting road trip on Friday night to Adam’s parents’ house in Tampa – she loves riding in the car and insists on sitting on the arm rest between the two front seats so she can see all the action! The only problem with that is …
I have exciting news for all of you today! Brace yourselves – sit down! These are gonna be doosies! 1. The Seminole baseball team is in the Super Regionals, which start this week! In fact, they’re hosting some of the games. Tune in to ESPN starting on June 5th for coverage and views of my …
For years, I have tried to plant flowers, herbs, peppers, tomatoes, etc. in hopes of cultivating a garden. Alas, every attempt has been a complete failure. The only thing I seem to be able to keep alive is a cactus (and those sometimes die too)! I love flowers, and I love visiting Adam’s parents in …
This was a busy week for cakes! The second cake I made was for Steve’s graduation party. Steve and Lindsay are moving to Colorado in a matter of days so Lindsay wanted the cake to represent this move and Steve’s love of biking. My first thought was that I didn’t want the Colorado mountains to …
This week, I made a cake for Jordan, who is graduating from high school. She told me she liked the bright colors and the whimsical flowers on this cake. She wanted a cake that was “fresh, pretty, and sophisticated” with “retro orange, celery green, vibrant pink, sea-foam blue, and brown.” When creating a cake like …
This summer, I registered for an online course called “Web Skills for Everyone.” The course is basically teaching us how to use new internet technologies and how to keep up with the technologies as they advance in the future. It’s really interesting, and I’m learning a lot! Anyway, our assignment this week was to create …
I received another request for a giant stethoscope cake, like the one I did in early May. This time, she wanted the cake to be a bit more colorful (specifically, orange and blue) and have a doctor gator (Dr. Albert from UF) on it. Since I have already done this cake, I’ve already done all …
Adam and I both love participating in Relay for Life and raising money for the American Cancer Society, but we couldn’t make it happen this year. Time just wasn’t on our side. So when one of my students said she was selling cakes at Relay, I was thrilled to be able to contribute in some …
