What have I been doing lately?

Not a whole lot of action over here this past month or so. Brad and I have been pretty busy for one reason or another and more often than not, not in Chicago and if we are, we're running from one place to another. Because of this, I have made a lot of the same things or at times, things that I'm wanting to tweak a little in the future.

Two of the bigger things I have done though are cakes. When I watch Sofia, I will often find myself watching some sort of cake show or another while she is napping. Well this got me itching to try out cake carving. Lucky for me, I have two birthdays coming up.

One for my brother-in-law's birthday (who happens to be a firefighter)

Ben and his birthday cake

I'm still working out the kinks in how to get the frosting super smooth when decorating in this manner

A little creative licensing to the back of the truck ;o)

I tried my best to model the truck after one of Oshtemo's engines to make it more true to life

And another for one of Brad's co-workers, a huge and forever a KU fan

She asked Brad if he could get her a KU cake being a recent grad and love for her alma mater

I made a four layer cake, then took the top layer and cut into it to make it into a type of "relief" cake

Rock Chalk...

Jayhawk!

K-U!
