Birthday Cake and the Bar

So today is my 24th birthday and instead of baking my own cake I decided to buy a cake. Not just any cake, you see. A cupcake. Not just any cupcake. A Cake cupcake. Two of them to be exact.
Behold the yummy deliciousness of Cake cupcakes
I got the signature cake and pink champagne. Travis got birthday surprise and neapolitan. We'll have them for dinner. Yummy yum.

Travis is finally done with the bar. He'll find out in November how he did. Here's hoping!

Baby Gifts and Blogworld!

Ok. So, since I'm new to this whole blogging thing, I'll try to start posting more regularly. Travis is getting all geared up to take the Bar exam on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. All prayers are appreciated!

One of my friends from work is having a little girl, and last weekend we were able to get together and celebrate! I made a couple of gifts for her, but failed to get any pictures before giving them away. The shower turned out so well! Such a sweet couple.

Another co-worker of mine (who was so kind to host the shower) put together a lovely diaper cake! Between the two of us, it took about 2 hours. Not bad for our first shot!
For favors, we had baby booties filled with M&M's. They turned out so cute! I found a great tutorial online and modified it just a bit. I ended up hot gluing ribbon around the edges of the cup to match the cake/shower theme. Mom-to-be ended up taking the extras to give out at the hospital.
We had Peace O'Cake cupcakes. Delicious! Strawberry and confetti were the flavors we decided on. They were super sweet and the brightly colored icing matched our theme perfectly!
