Jack's Cake Smash

This special cake was from For Goodness Cakes in Fort Wayne and was just perfect!  I decided to make a teepee because I figured it would be a simple, fun project.  It took a bit longer than I anticipated, but it looks great and added so much to this woodland theme.  I initially intended to use fake foliage, but none of the stuff I had looked that good.  So I called up my parents and took an impromptu visit to their house to gather real greenery from their trees.  My mom helped me gather some pine cones as well.  I really love how this set turned out!

Jack has gotten so tall and so far it looks like he'll be a red head!  He didn't seem to care for the icing, and he especially did not like touching the icing as he couldn't get it off of his fingers, but once we got to the chocolate cake underneath, he was more interested and clearly enjoyed the cake.  After he was done with cake, he got cleaned up and enjoyed some time playing with the stuffed animals.  Isn't he just the sweetest, cutest little guy?!

Nancy's 80th Birthday Party

Nancy had a milestone birthday, and her husband Bernie managed to pull off a huge surprise party for her!  It was such a joy to see the gathering of friends and family to celebrate Nancy's 80 birthday and for them to share stories of the many ways that they have been blessed by Nancy.  The room was beautifully decorated, there was so much yummy food, and all of the details were carefully planned for this to be a wonderful surprise.  Happy Birthday Nancy!  💗
