2 weeks ago my little nephew was born. He was 4 weeks early and spent almost 2 weeks in the hospital. I made this cake as a welcome home gift for my brother and sister in law. I figure they will be getting tons of visitors over the next week so everyone can pitch in and help eat this cake up :)

This was my second fondant cake and my first attempt at making 3D figures.

Sweet Present

Well I am in course 3 of cake decorating now and this was the cake we had to make in class this week. It is a fondant covered cake which was first for me, but it was fun to do. Next cake is a wedding cake which will be interesting.

With all the cake decorating for class and planning workshops, I have been falling behind on my personal scrapbooking. I promise to get more pictures posted soon, you everyone can get some new ideas.

Construction site cake

This is a fun cake I made for a little boy turning 3.

With all the hype on blogs these days, I finally jumped on board. This should be a fun way to showcase my scrapbooking and my newest hobby of cake decorating.

I will try my hardest to keep this blog up to date with my scrapbooking information and Close to my Heart information. I will post info on workshops and upcoming events for everyone.

So now I am off to play and see if I can figure out all this blogging stuff.......wish me luck :)
