History...

I found this picture last night and it made me cry a little.

Cake Wrecks are coming...

This last week I have been having a total blast working at Dessert Tray. I haven't had to make things on this large of a scale before, but I am loving it.

Now down to business...

I have blogged before about my love of the website

www.CakeWrecks.blogspot.com

and so when I learned last month that they were coming to Portland as part of their book tour...well I was more than ecstatic!

And now I find out that Dessert Tray is the one providing the cakes for the event! Does that not just blow your minds? One of the owners Robyn has been working on a few designs for it and I cannot wait to see everything finished! I will take pictures and put them up here.

And now a few of my favorites...









Now for something amazing...

All in cupcakes I might add...

Blog Hiatus...

I haven't blogged much lately. There have been some changes going on in our house and I wanted to make sure that some things were settled before I said anything out loud!

I am no longer working for Sweet Cakes, not because I don't love them, but because I needed more.

So this morning I started working full time for a wonderful place called "The Dessert Tray" in Beaverton. Their work is exquisite and I am so excited to call this place home.

(Besides...their Chocolate Rum Mousse is to DIE FOR!)

Utah Sneak Attack...

Like I said in my previous little post, Hy and I decided to sneak away to Utah and surprise my family. My mom had absolutely no idea, along with MOST of my family.

We showed up at Dixie High, where my mom teaches, and just walked into her room and said "Hi". It took nearly 30 seconds and a few double glances to realize that I wasn't another annoying high school student. That sure was fun!
---------------------------------------------------------

We spent most of the first day being totally pooped and playing with the newest baby "Wriggley"... who is absolutely a big snuggle fest. (Super tired, not so pretty pictures)




--------------------------------------------------

We spent time bumming around Hurricane and St. George, going out to eat and visiting lots.





--------------------------------------------------------

We got to spend time with my nephew (who has sprouted like a weed since I last saw him 2 months ago) and his family. Wriggley and Jaxten because quick friends and spent lots of time rumbling on the floor...







--------------------------------------------------- Saturday morning we hit up the Peach Days Parade in Hurricane. My rowdy family is a total hoot, and only slightly embarrassing! Jaxten was so much fun to watch.

------------------------------------------------

Later we hit up the big Peach Days celebration at the elementary school. We ate Navajo tacos (not nearly as good as the ones I grew up with)



Although I think they were enjoyed...



and threw ourselves into the middle of it...





---------------------------------------------

After lots of fun in Southern Utah, we headed to American Fork to stay with my GramZ. It was wonderful seeing her and we really enjoyed spending time on her relaxing back patio... (and yes the flowers are real)





We even got to hit up my familys favorite local dive "Parkers"



-----------------------------------------------

We had a great little trip and are super exhausted now. Im sure we will be spending the next few days getting back to normal and taking a few naps here and there. It was a blast getting away with my best friend...

Why I haven' blogged lately...

Hy and I decided to take a sneak trip to Southern Utah to suprise our family! We left Monday night at about 6 pm and drove all night (16 ish hours) and boy were they suprised!

It is so weird to me how many familiar faces I have already seen. In Vancouver I could go a VERY long time with out seeing anyone I know in public. I've been back in Hurricane for 1 night already

We are here until Sunday or so, and are really looking forward to spending Peach Days with my family and our cute as ever nephew.
