Ice Cream Cake Cupcake (August 2009)
I made ice cream cake cupcakes for Riley's 5th birthday along with his wolverine cake. This way i could make ice cream cake of different flavors. They all had a chocolate cake base and a chocolate ganache topping. This one had coconut ice cream.
Starbuck's Coffee Cup Cake for Jerilyn's 40th Birthday
Here is a "40 oz." Starbuck's coffe cup cake that I made for Jerilyn's "40th" birthday. (August 2009) I even put a "lipstick" mark on the top of the cup. It was a fun cake and the first time I made and used fondant.

Sunflower Cupcakes and Pumpkins
These are sunflower cupcakes I made in April 2008 for Sophie's 7th birthday at her school and for her teacher who shared the same birthday. The picture isn't very good - I took it with my phone. Can't see it but there are little ladybugs in the center area of the sunflower.
Below is me and my first pumpkins I have grown in Oct. 2008.

Following in mommy's footsteps..........
Haley starting her cake decorating career when she was just a little one! Guessing she was about 3ish.
Shower cupcakes (Februaryish 2009)
I made these "baby rattle" cupcakes for my friend Felicia's baby shower. We were welcoming Gemma Rayne who was coming in March.
Fishbowl Cake and Cupcakes (April 2009)
Here are fish bowl cupcakes I made for Haley's birthday and a Fishbowl cake that I made for a dessert auction at Haley's school. Haley loved the cake so much (she followed it around and even snuck nerds off the cake) that I made the cupcake version for her birthday.
Cupcakes I made for Nancy's shower welcoming Charlie (June 2009)
Made these flower cupcakes to welcome Charlie and it worked - she arrived just days later! Must have been the chocolate and yummy sweet frosting! :)
Shower Cake for Mrs. Brown (June 2009)
This is a shower cake I made for Haley's teacher Mrs. Brown. She is expecting her first child in September. It was my first sheet cake and I had a great time making the baby booties!
Potato Flower 2009
This is a beautiful flower from my red potato plant. Can't wait to see how many potatoes I get! Sometime in September I am guessing.
First harvest of the 2009 season (early July/ late June)
This is the first harvest of 2009 - I think around late June/early July. We picked swiss chard (not shown), yellow and green zucchini squash, strawberries, tomatoes, herbs, purple and regular carrots (the purple ones are good!), onions (small but yummy) and lemon and regular cucumbers.

Sunflower Garden
This is the sunflower garden Haley and I planted a couple of years ago. Fun. They grew best in that spot - haven't had as much luck since in other spots.
