It's OVER!!!

Summer that is.
The calendar is open again, be gentle on me, I'm out of practice.

But, let's celebrate with some awesomeness!

Cake and classic Star Wars!

awwww....booo...it's cut off on one side!
Ok, fixed a little bit, thanks Mrs. S.
And yes, Jen this one's for you!

Life

Spring is somewhat sprung here in the Eifel. The Kid declared it Sprinter (not quite spring, not quite winter) since it is still pretty cold in the mornings and evenings, but is tshirt weather much of the rest of day.

Today the rain came, but not enough to stop a morning romp in the back yard.

Another sign that spring is on it's way are the lovely strawberries avaliable in the shops. I bought 3 packs, and there were only 2 that I had to toss. I love when that happens, it's like an extra little bonus.

With all of those sweet strawberries around, of course I had to make chocolate dipped strawberries for a dinner I'm going to tonight. I love making these, because they are fast and easy, and I'll actually eat some, ok, lots. I rarely eat my own cakes anymore, by the time I've spent 8-10 hours on a cake I've lost the desire to actually eat any. These strawberries though, I'll eat all night long!

And of course, some white chocolate dipped ones for Lenae because she is high maintenance special.

I'm going on a little bit of a cake break for the next few weeks. The Husband is returning from his extended "camping trip", and so some family time is in order.

If you need a cake, please check my calendar for my avaliability. If I'm not avaliable for your event, please email me anyway, I have a couple of other baker/decorators who I might be able to refer you to. And, if your theme is totally awesome, I might not be able to resist, and just have to make your cake regardless.

Hugs and Cupcakes,

Kim

Whew!

DUDES!

18 cakes in February!

18!!!

Whiteout!

We were snowed in this weekend so there were no cakes.

We went out on Friday to do some erands, and when we got back, the car got stuck in the driveway. Apparently Lenae someone gouged some ruts in my driveway with their car, add slippery snow to that, and even 4WD gets bogged down.

Here is an idea of how deep this snow really was by the next day.

My dog is pretty tall, her head comes up to my hip, at some points the top of the snow was brushing her belly.
So really, I don't think we could have gotten up the hill, even without Lenae's someone's assistance.

It's ok though, since there was nowhere really to go and it was nice and cozy in our house.

Besides there were things to be done.

And it looks like the forecast calls for more snow to come.

As a bonus I'm completely prepared for Valentine's day. Cabin fever, so not a problem for me.
