My daughter Casey is turning 1 in 3 months and I am starting to think about what I want her first birthday cake to look like. I think maybe I have been watching too much Cake Boss! I have decided to go all out and challenge myself again. On Liam’s 4th birthday, 6 months ago, I had made him this cake…

My son just loved it! I got the tutorial on how to make this cake here.

So I really enjoyed making this cake that I want to try something harder. So I have been looking around the web and I found a few cakes that inspired me…

And I have come up with this design… (pardon the very bad sketch)

So what do you think?

I haven’t really been posting on anything other than for my design work. I really need to post more, after all this is a blog.

I am starting to track my time each day. I’ve been up for 9 hours yet I have accomplished nothing. Well I did play with Liam for a little while. He turned 4 today. HAPPY BIRTHDAY LIAM!!!! We gave him Henry (from Thomas the Train) so he and I set up his tracks so he could play. He is still playing with Henry as I type. Liam is also sick today, actually we are all sick. He was suppose to start his new preschool today. Actually I think I don’t want him to go to that preschool anyway. I really do not like it. It doesn’t look friendly at all, very impersonal. I have never heard of having to bring your own box of tissues and a container of bleach wipes to school. I typically do not let my kids use bleach wipes because they can make you sick if not used properly. Plus I rather let my kids get colds, they build up their immunities. I never got sick as a child and now I am always sick.

Casey is currently crying. She is teething and nothing I have tried seems to work. She doesn’t have control of her hands yet (after all she’s 3-months) so teethers don’t work so well. She has been able to put her hand in her mouth but that usually causes her to spit up.

I think I may spend too much time on Facebook. I am trying to use this site, Rescue Time, to find out exactly where I am spending my time. I am hoping it says I work too much But it will probably say I procratinate too much.

Today my son turns 2 years old. It seems as if he has only been born recently. Has it really been two years? Wow! He needs to stop growing so that I can enjoy his childhood.
