Brianna's First Day of College

This is a picture of Brianna being stocked by her mom the morning of her first day of college. She grew up so fast! Best wishes with school, may all your dreams come true.

Brianna's Graduation Quilt

This is a picture of Brianna holding up her quilt. I love this simple string quilt. The colors are fun and the striped fabric (traditionally a solid) makes it a little bohemian. Its backed with flannel in B's favorite color (bright teal) so its cozy. My biggest challenge was deciding whether to quilt as you go or have it quilted. A friend recently acquired a quilting machine and did the work for much less than I expected. Best of all, the quilt was ready for
Brianna's birthday!

Brianna's Cake

We had so many ideas to choose from. Cameron thought that his sister would want a German Chocolate Cheesecake. Mom wanted to make a Chocolate layer cake with ganache. What Brianna wanted was Minnie Mouse Cupcakes. Easier said than done!

My first  batch of cupcakes had muffin tops...

I let the boys eat them.

 The second batch of cupcakes were brownies.

Brianna said 'no' to them. I frosted them with coconut and peacan frosting.

The third batch came out okay.

 The adorable bows were hand drawn candy melts with a squeeze bottle.
18 cupcakes looked pretty good.

But, the frosting was too soft. It started slipping off the cupcakes while we were at church.

I just will never make it as a caterer!
