More Celebration! Celebrating My Mom

I was so honored to have been able to make my beautiful and wonderful Mom her first birthday cake!  She lives half the world away from me and during this visit, we got the chance to celebrate her birthday.

I remembered when I was little she used to make my us (my brother, myself, and some cousins) birthday cakes for our birthday.  I still have vivid memory of some of our birthday cakes that she crafted with love.  She can't believe that I remembered vividly some of the details of the cakes she made.  My Mom is truly a woman of many talents: she's a amazing cook, wonderful baker (she makes mouthwatering goodies, from breads to delicate cookies), a fabulous make-up artist, and a businesswoman.  Yet, she is very down-to-earth and humble.

I love you Mom!

(pardon some of the dents on the cake, my little boy can't wait to eat them before I was able to take a proper picture).  


 

Let's celebrate!

Lots of things to celebrate in April!  First off, nobody punk'd me during April's Fools Day.  Then came Easter and birthday celebrations and let's not forget about my obsession with Game of Thrones.

For this post, the first celebration this month is celebrating the first month of cute Baby Vanessa.  The design is based of the Mom's beautiful announcement design of the singing bird.  The color scheme is based on the soft pink with light purple accent that are used in the announcement card.
 
Thank God for my Momma who came for a visit, she helped me boxing up the cakes and the cupcakes in the wee hours, attaching the announcement card, and tying all of the ribbons.  I love you, Momma!
 
Happy One Month Old baby Vanessa!!

March Round-Up

Boy, what a month has it been!  We're so blessed that my dearest Mom came for a 2-month visit and she has been spoiling us with her amazing cooking and baking.  It's almost like she thinks that we're too skinny (which is totally not) and she starts feeding us non-stop with all of her wonderful cooking and baking.  Oh boy.  I might have to not eat for a month after she leaves.

This month, for me, is all about girls and cherry blossoms.  I long to see those beautiful cherry blossoms to bloom, but we haven't seen much due to some extended winter weather.  Hopefully we will see them soon.
I have two boys and making things pink are very much enjoyable to me!
The first cake is the pink themed angry birds cake for a sweet little girl who loves angry birds.
The second cake is for Robert's best friend, Catie.  She wanted a pink ladybug cake.
The last cake of the month is the cupcakes for a baby shower with pastel colors
