what are we teaching little girls?

Scott and i went to get a barbie for his neice's birthday present the other day. As we were cruising down the barbie isle there was a bag that i had to get a picture of.

when you look this goo, nobody cares if you're plastic. what a great message to be giving little girls. we had a good laugh over it.

update on scott's foot

I think Scott is trying to compete with my mom to see who can get a bigger and uglier bruise! He informed me that this is a sympothy injury...my mom fell last friday night and injured her leg really good, so scott just wanted to make her feel better about the whole thing. so nice of him don't you think?

ouch!

Scott was playing softball tonight and the field helped him sprain his ankle. he was playing 3rd base when a fly ball came his way. it was a little behind him so he turned to run for it. the field when it changes into the outfield grass has a huge slope. he hit the slope and his ankle rolled...but he made the catch! it hit his mit, bounce off and he caught it with his hand. the worst part was the team didn't have enough players for him to sit. so he tried to play catcher. but to top it off he still tried to hit...luckily go walked and almost didn't make it to first base. i'm sure you can tell in the picture, but it's his left ankle that is swollen. he is stuck on the couch with a bag of ice on it. hope it heals soon, he starts school again thursday :(

Maria's wedding

My high school friend Rachael's little sister got married yesterday! it was the 2nd wedding cake for the weekend for us. this one was different from all the rest because it is buttercream icing instead of the fondant. it doesn't look as smooth and perfect, but it still turned out beautiful! my favorite part of the evening...a little boy took a swipe of icing from the cake. he couldn't wait. so there was a finger mark in the back of the cake half way through the reception.

Congrats Jimmy and Becca

yes, another cake post! Scott's long time friend Jimmy is getting married to Becca tomorrow! I had the pleasure of making their wedding cake. i think it turned out pretty good. the first picture is the front of the cake and the bottom is a picture of the back of the cake. hopefully it will transport to the location great and we have no problems...wish us luck just in case.

just wanted to add a few pictures of the finished and delivered product. Jimmy and Becca's wedding was beautiful! the reception was perfect and the weather even cooperated. It was a nice sunny day in the middle of really rainy ones. so it was beautiful!

hike up payson canyon

Scott and I went on a short hike up payson canyon yesterday. We hiked to this beautiful water fall. it was short, but it was still a good workout! we wanted to go camping but it's supposed to rain...make that thunderstorm the next three days that we wanted to go camping. so i guess we'll go another time :(

just for fun

i promise i do more than just make cakes...but i couldn't resist trying this one. my mom's friend was going to have me make a "topsy turvy" cake for a birthday party but they decided to have vegies instead ("they are more likely to stop and grap veggies than they are to stop and eat a piece of cake...") makes no sense to me but oh well. so i decided to try and make one anyway because i haven't tried it before. so this is my first attempt. i also tried to make homemade marshmellow fondant...all in all it turned out pretty good for a lot of firsts.
