Teacher appreciation

 May 8th was teacher appreciation day this year.  The principal at my school (my day job is teaching math to middle-schoolers) found out that I bake and asked if I could make apple shaped cookies for her to give out to all of the teachers and support staff.  Well, OF COURSE I can!

I  made 80 apples... that's A LOT of cookies I found out.  It was fun though, and everyone liked them!  Don't forget to appreciate your teachers!

The Cherry Blossom

Back in May, I had the privileged of making a wedding cake for Susan and Will who got married on the Cherry Blossom river boat in Old Town Alexandria.  What a unique venue!

Susan and Will needed the largest cake I have made thus far.  The tiers were 8", 10", 12" and 14" squares.  Their main wedding color is what I made a mental note to be "light Tiffany's blue" and the ribbon I bought perfectly matched their table covers when we got there to deliver the cake... awesome!

  

Back in Business!

I have been a bit of a slacker with my baking and blogging in the past few months.  I was on somewhat of a hiatus during what became a high-risk pregnancy, and some NICU time for our son.  Now everyone is happy, healthy, and ready for cupcakes!
