Yet Another Cake Creation

I made this cake for a wedding shower for a girl at work. They are not having a wedding cake, so I told her I would try to make it look like one.
They saved the top tier for their 1 year anniversary. They are doing a destination wedding in March and there are only a few people attending. The cost of a cake for that many people was obsene. The Calla Lillies are the color of the ones in her bouquet. The only request for the cake came from the groom-to-be. He wanted all Chocolate! So, the cake is a chocolate sour cream cake with chocolate buttercream icing. YUM!! My next cake adventure is going to be for my sister in-law's wedding on April 4th. I will definately post pictures! I am also doing the groom's cake for her wedding as well. I may have to take a break after that (or a vacation)!!

The Latest Cake Creation

Hello All,
Here is a picture of a cute cake that I made last night. Thanks Mom for the really cute pan!! It was super easy to use and went over well with the group at work! I was hoodwinked into helping keep a birthday buddy a secret at work. The girl who asked me to make the cake didn't want her birthday buddy to know that she was her buddy and asked me to make something "Alli-esque." The birthday girl loves cake, so I thought this was the perfect opportunity to use this super cute pan and giant sprinkles! She loved it!!!

My most recent cake...

A friend of Jay and I recently graduated from grad school at the University of Tennessee and his family asked me to make the cake for their shin-dig.
If you can't tell from the theme, he played soccer his entire life and he loves UT!

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!!!

I know it is a little late to wish people Merry Christmas, but I wanted to share some cute pics we took of our little boy.


I couldn't believe that it snowed in TN, but Gus sure didn't care!!
He kicked it around and made snowballs to eat. It was too cute! He chased it falling out of the sky. I thought he would get cold because he is short-haired, but he couldn't get enough.

Jay and I met Peter Frampton!!

I think that is how you spell his last name!
I thought I would share this pic too. I am on a roll!

I make cakes!!!

I thought I would post some for those who haven't seen some of the e-mails.
It is so much fun!

I went to Chicago with work and....

I got to see really neat architecture!
I went to a broadway play called Wicked, it was so good!!!!! And the best of all I got to meet... Dwight!! (From the office) Here are the pics!

Here are the pics from Wicked.



Here is the cool Architecture.

And last but not least...Dwight!!

He is signing a post card picture of himself and it read "Alli, You are horrible!"

To funny for words!

I know, I know...It has been amost a year!

So , here are the updates on us!

We are both working hard and trying to relax where able.
So now you are updated, here are some new Gus pics!

He is still so cute!!!

Like father like son!

I just thought this was funny!

Just some new pics of Gus Gus. Hims be growing up............

Look What We Grew!!

I actually got something to grow without killing it!!! We have many beautiful tulips in out front yard now. Most of them surround our little tree that is in the middle of the yard.


This was the first one that bloomed. Awwww, so cute!

I just thought this was a neat picture. Wierd how they explode when they open.

Here is yet another shot of the same flower.

I took this one only a few days after the first. Now our little pink tulips has friends of many colors!

This one was taken at dusk, so I am not sure if you can really see it. It is our little blooming tree with the tulips. I am not sure what kind of tree it is, but the blooms look like little pink carnations. I think it will be pretty when it has a little more size to it.

I just wanted to share a tid bit of our garden. Oh, Mom...there are all kind of bulbs popping p by the pond in the front. I will take pictures of those when they are not little green spikes in the ground!

New Pics of Gus-Gus Woo!

Sleeping Beauty.

Mom!!! I'm Hungry!!! He really does bring us his bowl when he is hungry or thirsty. It is too cute! The only bad part is when he is hungry and there is still water in his bowl. Makes a mess, but at least it is just water. Thank goodness for the Spot Bot!!

Maybe if I shut my eyes you will stop taking pictures of me.

I love my new fence mom!! I can run and and run and run after my frisbee!

Isn't he so manly in his yard?!

These are just some random pictures that I took throughout the day.
The boat dock area that was outside the window at the Bubba Gump Shrimp Company where we had lunch. Nice boats.
The Ghirardelli Chocolate factory sign in Ghirardelli Square.
Mom and Dad relaxing outside the chocolate shop in the square.
My personal favorite...The Bay Bridge at night. The car was moving and the flash was off so I could get a good shot of the lights. I din't think it would blur it like that, but I love it!
