Wedding Dress C-A-K-E!

Today I had the honor of taking pictures of a wedding cake, designed by my friend's sister, Amy. I have seen the cakes she has created before, but only as small pictures on her older sister's phone. I have been very impressed with those snapshots, and I was so anxious to see a cake for real! Well, she did not disappoint. She must have made one newly married couple so ecstatic today. But I do not know how someone can eat (destroy) one of these cakes!?

Thanks Amy for the opportunity to photograph your beautiful creation, and for allowing my girls to pull out toys from your toy bin!

Angel Cake

Mel has a little cold (I think) or she is teething. While Syd watched Madagascar 2 with her daddy (before he left for work), I got Mel ready for bed. She pretty much laid there on the carpet while I dressed her and rubbed lotion on her dry thighs. I sang some songs to her, started the humidifier, gave her some Motrin and put her into bed.

When I came downstairs, I started prepping for making my first Angel Food Cake. The TV was turned off and Syd felt "sad." So I asked her to help me make the cake. She watched, and asked lots of questions, over and over again -- something she does so well! The questions soon disappeared when she tasted some left over rice krispy treats sitting on the counter nearby. Then she kept telling me she was going to finish all of it! Meanwhile, I prepared the "Angel Cake," as Syd called it. Put it in the oven, put her to bed, and put away cookware. I hope she will be excited to see her "Angel Cake" in the morning.
