I've.......

Been down for some days but i'm back. I've got new cake pics and started on some new projects as well as added a new hobby to my growing list of things I do. I ordered some wool and now i've been spinning my own yarn. Still havent fininshed that blanket from the last post but i'm working on it. When finished it will be a hooded baby blanket!

Crochetd baby blanket


I've been working on this baby blanket for a while now. I really just want to get it done, so I can move on to the next thing. Its being crocheted in a single and two double crochet stitch pattern.
When it's all said and done it will be a hooded baby blanket that I will add to my Etsy's shop. My goal is to be done in the next 2 days because I'm ready to start on my crochet dress and I just ordered some fabric on Etsy's to start my next baby project. I'm also ready to bake more cakes but......I ran out of powdered sugar for icing, maybe this weekend they'll be carrot cake and another decorated cream cheese pound cake.

Trying basketweave technique!


Made this cake on yesterday. I saw this technique and wanted to try it out. This cake is fully homemade. It is a double layrer Cream Cheese Pound Cake. The icing is Vanilla Buttercream.
The icing was tinted with Aqua and I let it sit for awhile to achieve the deep color. After applying basketweave around the cake in white, I put spiral blossoms around the top and bottom in Aqua. Surprised at how good this came out for my first time.

It tastes as good as it look!
