Bridal shower rose cake

I was asked to make a bridal shower cake and was given free rein of the design.  That was exciting and scary at the same time!  You know how you picture something or someone in your head but when you see it or them in person, it could be disappointing?  Well, that was my concern with no specifics for a cake! 

I had been wanting to try a rose cake for quite some time but just haven't had the chance to try it out, so I figured now was the best opportunity to try it out!

Teacher Appreciation Week (May 7-11, 2012)

Last week was Teacher Appreciation Week.  I wanted to thank the teachers at my sons daycare the best way that I knew how... through their sweet tooth!  I made cookies for the teachers in his classroom.  He has learned SO much and I am so grateful we have them!

Now I know I'm behind the times, but I'm just entering the world of FREE PRINTABLES!! 

Thank you to Bee in Our Bonnet for this printable!

Thank you for this printable Love from the Oven!

 His classroom has 3 teachers but I couldn't just stop there. What about the rest of the teachers that are equally as excellent?  I made extra cookies and topped chocolate cupcakes with chocolate buttercream icing with them!  YUM!! 

Thank you to all teachers for educating our babies!
