girls that brunch.



CUPCAKES!!!  i made cupcakes for our girls' brunch to celebrate a dear friend who recently got engaged.  it was my first time making these cupcakes so i was a little nervous, but they turned out cute.

yellow cake, strawberry cake heart, strawberry butter cream frosting

little engagement gift i put together: her first bridal magazine The Knot, wooden letter "T" for her new last name and a notebook to jot down wedding notes, ideas and dreams

glimpses from the week 7/16 - 7/22.

1. new underwater case for the G12... it's huge.  2. love-hate relationship with ikea.  i always end up with extra bolts?!?  3. tea time.  earl gray bravo.  4. sienna playing around in the laundry.  how could you not love that face.

5.  bright laces   6. caramel apple butter from apple hill.  great on toast with some bananas.  7. lunch date with my girlfriend... talking about the "ryans" and stuffing our faces.   8. i made a little umbrella wreath for our pool parties. super easy and very cute.

9. date night at pronto's.  i was so in the mood for italian.  10. made mac n' cheese muffins for our bbq/pool party. everyone loved them. will definitely make again, but will add some bacon next time!  11. homemade misting system courtesy of ryan. brilliant.  12. bacon and butter - great brunch spot. had the blueberry pancakes and biscuits and gravy... delish! 

mini tier cakes.

mini tier cakes!!  I had so much fun making these cakes.

helpful tips...  1. spray the pan with baking non-stick spray 2. only fill the cake molds to the top of the third layer 3. let the cakes cool completely before frosting (i put them in the freezer for 5 mins after I took them out of the oven) 3. put a cutting board on top of the pan and flip over (cakes should come out easily) 4. cut off the bottom of each cake to level
