Fun Italian Night Dinner

That's Amore'!

Some nights I just like to surprise the kids when they get home from school with a fun theme night for dinner.  It just adds a touch of amusement and playfulness to the house!  The girls always humor me and "play" along and we all enjoy the time together just being silly and leaving the stress of the day behind us.  A few night's ago I set up a fun Italian dinner theme with easy spaghetti and meatballs.  The kids toasted our little celebration of family with their grape juice "wine"!   

Alice in Wonderland

"Don't be Late" Baby Shower Cake

I loved making this special cake for a theme shower,  really you aren't supposed to copy any Disney characters so I kinda had to change "Alice" up a little bit, but still it had a fun feel to it.  I loved the colors and the detail.  I made the fondant myself with a lemon essence to match the lemon and raspberry cake.  I loved just the smell of it while working with it! 

 The woman who ordered it from me met me with tears in her eyes to tell me how much the sentiment from  this special cake helped her bond with her new daughter in law. Awww, being part of people's special moments was the greatest part of my job!

Laundry Day Baby Shower Cake

I had so much fun making this sweet baby shower cake.  I spent hours into the night crafting all her little laundry.  I was so fuelled with creative energy while coming up with new itty bitty detail for each little creation...tiny teddy hidden in a pocket, sweet little happy bee buzzing around, little lady bug stopping by....I think I enjoyed making it as much as the guest of honor appreciated it. 

The little tub is also a moist lemon cake and the larger tier is torted with raspberry fill.  So yum.
