Rainbow cake!

I saw this idea online in a few places... so I wouldn't know who to credit as the original. So let's just say : this is not MY idea, it came from someone else.



However, i did MAKE this yesterday!! I LOVE how it turned out! I couldn't wait to cut it open and see the rainbow (colors are not in the right order, i KNOW). I just placed them in the order they came out of the oven. I was so amazed with it that I went around and gave slices to my friends! There are no pieces left today!

For the icing, I used the 7-minute icing recipe that Cindy sent me. It is a bit of a merangue type icing. Upon tasting, Maelie, who usually hates most icing, declared that this was the best icing ever! So thanks Cindy for sending it to us!

A little teacher's treat

I tried a new recipe yesterday with some of the apples we picked: apple brownies

They were incredibly delicious and moist! I ended up making 2 of them as loaves in tiny loaf pans I got at Michael's for 1.50 and brought them to school for Maelie's teacher and daycare provider.




They were still warm, hence the "fog" on the packaging!

Halloween Sneak Peek

Here are a few sneak peeks of my Halloween projects. I feel strange typing this on September 6th!! Halloween is simply a month and 25 days away. LOL This is probably the earliest I've started!!





I love covering the little Hershey's chocolates with Halloween paper. It gives them a whole other look!!

Another new baby!

A friend of ours recently had a baby and so I made another card with my Build a Roo stamp set. This time it is a little girl so I made the baby kangaroo pink. I love chocolate chip mixed with pink.

The picture actually doesn't do the card justice! The lighting was not the best and I wanted the card back in the envelope so this is all I got! :)

Baby announcements

Here are some really cute baby announcements that I made for my sister who is expecting next month.



I fell in love with the Build-a-Roo set from Stampin'Up. I'm glad I had the wonderful opportunity to use it!

New blog

My original blog, Maelie's Mama, was initially created to keep family and friends updated on what we were up to on a weekly basis. Since I have been including a lot of crafts on that page, I figured that I should simply have another blog for my hobbies. This way, those only interested in our family things can read Maelie's mama, and anyone else who doesn't care so much about our family activities can view this blog.

So welcome! I hope to post a bunch of projects on a weekly basis!
