Pirate Cake

I finally had the chance to make a cake for a friend.  Her younger son was turning 5 and wanted a Pirate themed cake to go with his party.  I asked him for details of what kind of cake he would want and went to work gathering ideas from Pinterest.

I will admit this was hard and more stressful on me because I wanted it to turn out so well!

It started out super well!  I had shape ideas from Pinterest and another blog I found about how to create the ship. I also ordered and went on a hunt for Pirate of the Caribbean figures (turns out these are much harder to find these days since the movies are a bit older now!)

Here are the some of the steps:

base of the cake- chocolate as requested. :)
 Cupcakes to go with...fishes included to look like the sea.
 The boat constructed and frosted.

 A few more details
 And the final product!
 
Now the boat started to shift (I apparently did not get the cake pieces level enough) and I had to put skewers in to help keep it together. There was a small freak out session and re-frosting that had to happen, but we made it to the party in one piece! PHEW! And he LOVED it!
 
I am not a perfect baker, but I learn new things each time.  Next up will be Brylee's birthday cake! Already gathering ideas and tips to improve and make her a cake she is wanting. :)

Peacock Lane

We took a trip to a local Christmas Landmark- Peacock Lane.  It is in Portland.  Every house on the lane decorates with Christmas lights.  Several do amazing things! I had not been since I was younger.  I had wanted to take the kids in the past couple years, but we just did not make it. We had a clear, dry night and took advantage. :)

Moved & Ready for Visitors!!!

We are officially moved people!!!! After a month and a half of constant work in getting the place ready, we have made the journey and came out in one piece for the most part.  We have gotten things unpacked and put in their respective places.  And been finishing up some details in several rooms.  We have some smaller projects left, but the majority of the work is done and the house looks great!  We now have it decorated for Christmas and ready for Santa to make his stop. Brylee would like to give you a tour! Enjoy the pictures: The front of the house: The side view of the front yard: A view into the backyard: The front porch: The Sunroom: The Kitchen (a little dark), but the paint looks awesome!

Per my mom's request I am posting some pictures of me when I was young and some pictures of Brylee.  My mom was recently going through some old photos and gave me these.  She said that she could not believe the similarities as she was looking at the pictures.  So Mom here you go!
