Lemonade

My sister and I went out to Lemonade on this warm sunny day, and decided to test out our new camera, Canon T3, that we received as a guest from our Aunt.

Pet Turtles

My sister and my turtles are growing up! They like to walk around in the yard while we clean their aquarium.

Dad's Birthday

I made a cake for my Dad's birthday, and he said as long as the cake was mango, I could make it pink. Naturally, I made a mango cake and then wanted to learn new piping techniques, so I taught myself how to do a ombre rose cake, and I bought three different types of pink food dye at Michaels and was excited to try them all out on my buttercream icing. It was so easy, all I had to do was buy a Wilton #1 tip, and pipe in a circle!

Summer Day

I'm enjoying summertime for a couple of weeks before I start my new job at Evite. It is nice to just relax by the pool and spend time with friends. One of my favorite new pieces of jewelry is the jaguar necklace that used to be my aunt's which she gave to me. Also, I wanted to make my nail polish similar to my ring from Forever 21, as if diamonds were really on my finger, and using several coats of speckled silver nail polish really did create a very jewelled effect. Plus, this past weekend my sister and I got cute little turtles!

House Hunting

My family and I went house hunting today in hopes of finding our dream house, but to no such luck. However, many of the houses we visited had their own parks, swimming pools and gyms, like it was a little town within a town.

Michaels Spec Commercial

I did a commercial spec for Michaels and I had to bake something so that the director could film it, and because she asked me to bake either six cupcakes or one mini cake, I decided to combine them into one! I made mini cakes out of a regular sized cupcake and a mini cupcake ontop. Decorating is my favorite part, and I made colored homemade fondant to cover my little yellow butter mini cup"cakes". Even after I finished baking, the cakes exuded a sugary smell that made everyone's mouth water so it was time to dig in after the commercial shoot! It was really fun, I played a shopper who shopped down the baking aisle and I later presented my cakes. Overall, it was such a short and sweet commercial where I met great people.
