happy 4th!

Music Monday : French Films

It's so often that I fall for a band based on the deep baritone voice of the singer...such as with The National and Matt Berninger. This is another one of those times.

French Films - Golden Sea

Happy Monday to ya! ♥

Ruffle cake!

I'm making multiple cakes for my cousin's baby shower in April. So I thought I would do a few test cakes for the big event. I really want to do one of the ruffle cakes that are popping up everywhere. I think they are pretty, different and perfect for showers and girly birthday parties.

Here's my test run on that cake but with whipped icing. I really don't like how the icing is loose and sloppy...too soft. So I'm going to work with buttercream on this one. Probably taste yummy though!!

Yay for cakes and babies!! :)

Music Monday : Cat Power

Cat Power - Sea of Love

tunes on tuesday: Gardens & Villa

Gardens and Villa - Thorn Castles

We have been busy, busy lately...between normal errands and housework, our new home planning and hanging out with friends, there has been little time left in the days. I am so happy that Spring is on it's way...more daylight is always a good thing. It has been a brighter drive to work in the mornings this week...and that is always a good thing. Lately my creative mind has been filled with ideas for baby shower cakes, wedding such and such and a few crochet projects I'm working on...all with Spring in mind. How about you?

Well here's a song for your Tuesday...have a great day! :)
