Cakes and baby stuff

Oh what a busy Saturday!
One of my dear friends is due in March, and I am getting so excited because she is having a girl!
It seems like most of my friends who have had children lately have all had boys, so it's tons of fun buying girl clothes!

The shower started at 10:30, so I had to be up and conscience way before I would have like to have been.
Last night I met up with some work friends at the bowling alley, and we bowled cheap for 3 hours.
It was tons of fun, but when I woke up this morning I felt like I was hungover.
I had one beer last night and then drove home, so I definitely know that wasn't the case.
I am getting old, and since I didn't get home until 2am or so, I know that it is just my old age.
I just can't do it like I use to.
After quick rushing to get a baby gift (obviously I'm not on top of things...) I made a necessary coffee stop.
Thank god for Starbucks in Target stores...

So anyway, the shower was wonderful!
It was great to see everyone again, and being able to eat food and play games made it even better.
My friend got so many wonderful gifts, and I'm convinced that her little girl will be one of the best dressed babies ever!
Here are a few pictures from the shower

It was an owl theme shower

The host made this diaper owl- so cute!

Are these not the cutest shoes ever?!

Behold, my first legit fondant cake!

Seeing as I made my friends bachelorette party cake when she got married a few years ago, I couldn't say no to making her baby shower cake when I was asked!

The host gave me a picture of a cake idea that she found online, and I went off of that picture.

This month I took a fondant class at the craft store, so I felt pretty good going into this.

Before this cake I had only covered two other cakes, so this was really the big test for me.

I was so pleased with the end result, and it really lit a fire in me as I realized yesterday that this is my passion.

I want to create cakes like this for peoples special occasions.

I want to make amazing, tasty cakes that are also affordable.

I want to open my own cake shop!

That is my dream- I will make it happen!

Tomorrow I am going to begin creating a portfolio of all the cakes that I have done, and then think long and hard about how I want to achieve my dream.

Ok, I'm too tired. 

I can't fight it anymore.

Peace out,
