Sonic the Hedgehog Cake and Cupcakes

My nephew turned 5 and requested a sonic the hedgehog cake

I made a 4 layer white cake with raspberry filling, buttercream frosting and marshmallow fondant accents. The cake was dyed blue and red to get an american flag look.

There were also cupcakes to match.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LITTLE LOGGIE!

My Devil Pup is becoming a Devil Dog

I know I haven't posted in a few weeks. I was a little frustrated with blogger, everytime I tried to post anything with pictures the computer would freeze. grrr.

So anyway two weeks ago my oldest child, you know the one I've been gushing over. Graduation, parties, blah blah blah? Well he's off to Marine Corps bootcamp. I'm so proud yet completely devastated. As moms we would do anything to keep our babies safe and HOME. But I know I must let go and let him become the man he wants to be. Right? right.

So he's been gone 2 weeks and we haven't heard a word. That's the hardest, not knowing how he is doing. Waiting for the first letter to arrive. I've been writing but they take awhile to get to the recruits. He graduates in October and I can't wait to make the trip to see him become a Marine.

This month he celebrates turning 18 so in honor of that...

ps... yes it took 3 tries before I could upload the photo. grr

Candyland Birthday Party

My youngest daughter turned 2 at the beginning of this month. But because of Easter we just had her party this past Sunday. I loved the Candyland party seen here at Party Love and got all my ideas from there.

Here's my birthday girl

How adorable is she? My little Remedy. Thanks to a family member for taking this picture.

Originally I planned on an outdoor party but it wasn't meant to be. It rained pretty good that day so we ended up indoors. Here's some pics from the day..

In addition to all the sweets we had another table full of food that I didn't get a picture of. The menu consisted of pulled pork, artichoke and parmesan brushetta, pigs in a blanket, spinach dip, marinated bocconcini, deviled eggs and fruit.

I think the kids were in heaven with so much candy at their finger tips. Despite the rain the kids had a good time and got to jump in the jumpy house for a little bit when there was a break in the weather. Now it's time to plan my 17 year old's high school graduation party!
