It's a Boy!

I missed out on Cruz's baby shower and I regreted it. It was a mistake I was eager to learn from. I made sure to be front at center at Bryce's baby shower. That and Julnette would never let me live it down if I didn't make carrot cake cupcakes.

Why Didn't I Think of That?

We were throwing a joint baby shower for dad's-to-be Dan Yoo and Gaurav Chadha at work.

Ingenius.. cakes made out of diapers!

In restless ramekin fashion, we filled the bottom tier with these:


my classic brownies topped with macadamia nuts


and chocolate chip hazelnut cookies.

Congratulations Dan and Gaurav!

Better Late Than Never

My best friend Regina had her first baby about three months ago. Not only did I NOT make a cake for her baby shower, I somehow managed to not show up. Unforgiveable, right? Luckily Regina radiates forgiveness and understanding (to a degree of course). Don't get on her bad side or she'll rip you a new one. Anyways, here is my first attempt at decorating a cake. As Cruz gets older, my skills can only get better. It would be a great way to document my progress. Soon I'll be the crazy aunt at his birthday parties creating multi-tier cakes with sugar molds, when all he wanted was a spaceship.
