Tagged!

I was tagged, again... I was tagged by Stary-Eyed Bride and Bespoke. This one's kind of fun! (sorry for not being able to do this right away, things have been crazy buzy!)



4 Things I Did Today:





1. Put together a contract for a bride.

2. Called a ceremony venue and used my Jedi mind trick to convince them to have a ceremony there.

3. Prayed.

4. Met with a bride who still has lots to do for her March Wedding.



4 Things On My To-Do list:



1. Make a bazillion phone calls.

2. Call back prospective interns.

3. Go see Nights in Roadanthe.

4. Finish Harrison’s Birthday Cake

(Bonus #5 – I have to get the mailing list together for Let’s Eat Cake! Potential sponsors)



4 of My Guiltiest Pleasures:



1. Drinking really good red wine.

2. I love reading in the bathtub. (with a glass of wine)

3. Watching television with my husband. With my head on his lap lying there with his hand on my side. (while drinking a glass of wine)

4. Reality Television…. Yeah, it’s stupid, yeah, it has no redeeming qualities… but I like some of it… I know – I’m a moron… but I enjoy it when I am drinking a glass of wine!



4 Random Facts About Me:



1. I used to swim competitively…. And Greg Louganis and I met at the pool at 5:30 to practice, then he went to the dive pool and I went to the lanes to swim. We shared many a McDonald's Breakfast Sammich together.



2. I work constantly, like I don’t stop, I am thinking ways to improve my business, to work with vendors to make my client’s life easier, to make my husband's business better (I sleep, eat, and live to work) …. I just don’t’ stop working.



3. I do what I do because I really I truly believe it to be my calling in life. I love it and I couldn’t imagine doing anything else.



4. I was diagnosed with Cervical Cancer 3 Years and 6 months ago, Stage 1, Non-HPV. I am now a cancer survivor. I worked through my cancer, I never missed a wedding, an appointment, and my clients never knew. It’s just what I did. Why should some cancer stop me…. And this is the reason for Let’s Eat Cake.



I am now tagging, Blissful Bride and Unique Designs.

Bake a Cake! II

WOW! Was this a process, but it's so nice to have friends in the business, Kathy from KB, helped me so much, with advice and teaching me to make the bugs, loaning me supplies... her time... really a God Send!!! So I documented the process. A Month long Process....



Supplies - rods to make sure the top layer doesn't collapse into the bottom layer:

Beating the Oreo's for the Frosting:

Oreo Cookies and Cream Frosting:

Harrison had requested, Chocolate Cake on the Bottom and Vanilla Cake on the Top - So I made Chocolate Fudge Butter Cake, and Bourbon Vanilla Butter Cake with Oreo Cookies and Cream Filling.

My husband handling the manual labor, aka using the big boy tools!

The cakes with the crumb coat - now they rest in the fridge...

More on my Crazy Cake Adventures tomorrow!

Blog: with the pixie grin



Wedding Date: May 30, 2009



What do you do in real life?



I am a Webmaster for a popular search engine. But what I really want to be is a Registered Nurse...shhh!



Favorite Part about Planning your Wedding?



My personal style has always been a private thing for me...planning our wedding has allowed me to share concepts & ideas with friends and family without feeling self-conscious about it. It has helped me to embrace this woman I have become. I really like that.



Least Favorite Part about Planning your Wedding?



With everything I do, I really try to make sure everyone is happy and comfortable. I've found that to be true in planning our wedding while weighing in the idea that this is "our day." The struggle with finding a balance between the two has definitely added a few gray hairs.





What is the best piece of wedding advice you've ever received?



To enjoy every minute of the planning process and the engagement phase. They say it's over before you know it...



 

We'll have some more on Amy F. next week, on Blogging Brides!

Bake a Cake!

There is a new trend, brides attempting to make, design, bake their own wedding cakes. To me this is would be met with disasterous results!



However, I have always made a birthday cake for our bestest friends son, Harrison, you've seen his picture on this blog before. Well this weekend was Harrison's 4th birthday, and I took my task very seriously. It was the first time Harrison could really have some say in his cake. He wanted Bugs. Specific Bugs.



Harrison's Demands:

• Rocks


• Dirt


• Ants


• Dragonflies


• Bee's


• Lady Bugs


• Sunflowers


• Purple Flowers


• Grass


• Leaves


• Worms

Phew! Was I in for it, or what!!! So I started a sketch, a 2 layer cake, and let him tell me what he wanted. And I drew it. This is my sketch.

I am not an artist.... promise!!!
