Robin's Hello Kitty.

Hello everyone! I'm finally posting a new cake on here, I know y'all probably wondered where I disappeared too. Truth is I've been a very busy girl lately, we've had all sorts of exciting changes beginning to take place at our house, my oldest sister Amanda recently got herself engaged and is getting married in the fall (we are all so excited, she is the first one of us to get married!) my bro. Chad (the one who I did the fishing cake for back in May) just told us he's moving out. Although we are going to miss him like crazy, we all couldn't be more happy for him.. he is moving into our Paw Paw's house. I know Paw Paw would be so proud if he was still with us. My youngest sister Shannah just got glasses, they are the most adorable little pink glasses ever. All twelve of us came to an agreement that those precious glasses just complete her. (it must be very true for all twelve of us to agree on something) haha! I'm only kiddin' we are not that bad! And I of course never one to be left out in all this excitement, have been redecorating my room, well, mainly just repainting my bedroom furniture. What a job this has been! After 2 trips to Benjamin Moore's paint store, 2 coats of black paint, and more sanding than I ever care to repeat again in my life. I have gorgeous black antique furniture and I love it, it turned out exactly how I pictured! It was worth every minute of the hard work, minus the blisters. haha! I could have done without those pesky things! So with all that's been going on at our house from all eight, well nine girls (including our Mom) browsing thru wedding magazines, to us all teasing Chad about how we are going to be hittin' him up every Fri. night for BIG sleepovers. and any small chance I get I've been outside enjoying the beautiful weather that we've been having, summertime has always been my favorite season! I've not had allot of spare time to do much cake decorating, but I did do this Hello Kitty Cake for Diane, a lady who works with me, it was her daughter Robin's birthday. It is a red velvet cake with cream cheese icing, how I was dangerously tempted to slice into this yummy thing while I was decorating it. Red Velvet is my all time favorite!! Happy 19th Birthday Robin, I hope you had a wonderful Birthday!

  6. Thank you Alicia, I've always loved the color of green!

    You can stop in anytime and see it, I'm really happy with how it turned out. Amanda is planning to get ready on her wedding day in my room, so you get a chance to see it then, but if you'd like to see it sooner just let me know, I don't mind at all!

    I'm so excited and nervous about her cake, but I love what she has in mind and am hoping her cake will be my masterpiece!!! I'm anxious to do it.
