30 Ways to Look Younger


This cake was for a 30th birthday party. She sells Usborne Books so it was perfect to make a stack of books as her cake. My favorite part is the "K' bookmark!


30 Ways to Look Younger was such a cute idea! I loved making this one.

Until...


...Rora sat on the box!!!! Mollie and I were cleaning the kitchen and had the cake in the dinning room. At the same time we heard a noise and I ran in there to find Rora sitting on the cake box! Luckily we had saved some of the extra icing because we had extra cake (YUM!) but had already cleaned the icing bags and tips.


The damage done to the cake and the box!


The final finished product!!!

Alex's Birthday Surprises!!!

Let the fun begin...

SURPRISE! Mollie and I decorated Alex's office at church since his birthday was on Wednesday and that's where he was all night : )

We like to call Alex an "extremist" so I had to at least try to do something out of the ordinary. I think we accomplished that!

It was sooo fun to decorate (especially with Christmas music playing in the background)!

Woooo!!!
Balloons!!! The BIRTHDAY BOY one wins as the favorite!

View of the middle of the room from the floor!

More balloons...

Of course we had to take the baby with us to leave little reminders (cat hairs) of her presence.

"I'm at work!"

Rora was all over his office! It was a struggle to not send him a pic of her last night to have him guess where she was : )

See, all over the place...

Now to the most important part of a birthday... THE CAKE! It was strawberry with cream cheese frosting because that's Alex's favorite!

His favorite things... a keyboard for everything music, WKU and Ole Miss!

And now--everything he hates... UK! Go CATS! I couldn't resist : )
