Today is Friday! Yesterday we spent the evening with a very close friend for his birthday! Then we went out to our favorite ‘watering hole’ and had a few more drinks! It was a fun date night. We ran into a few friends sang some karaoke and just had fun! We had some Tequila and we came home before I had too many (seems like a rare date night occurrence lately) and had a great time before we went to sleep if you know what I mean! It was a great evening couldn’t go further without talking about it.

Today is Friday! Tomorrow is The Girl’s Birthday! She is going to be 11! OMG how the heck did that happen? I am of course making her cake and have not got a head start. It is baking in the oven as we speak and it is currently almost 2:00! I am so far behind today! I love baking for my kids they are the reason why I started ever decorating cakes. The Girls first birthday was my first cake, it was a dragonfly! This one is going to be a Topsy Turvy Colorful Polka Dot Cake. Red Velvet with caramel filling and Cream Cheese Frosting Covered in Fondant.

She is having her sleep over today. The friends will be dropped of at 8:00 which means that I have until then to finish the cake and get the house ready for a party! I have had only one regular cake to make this week. A pretty busy but fairly normal week and some catching up from last week’s cake adventure and I have not gotten caught up! The cake is baking in the oven right now! Why can’t I be organized. I did a pretty good job last week. The difference, I had the whole week laid out on Monday. I had a plan! This week I did not have a plan I was kind of flying by the seat of my pants a bit. I had an idea of what I needed to get done but did not have a plan like I did last week.

ADD lots and lotsThis is a casualty of my ADD! I hate it! It tells me I really need to set up structure for myself at the beginning of each week and maybe even each day. I could use my writing for this each morning write a plan of my day and set it up but that may get boring for you readers! There has got to be a way for me to get myself more focused and actually get shit done! I am getting a bit frustrated with myself as I write because I feel like I sound so stupid and disorganized or maybe even lazy!

Anyway I have Cream Cheese Frosting to make, a house to clean and a cake to finish. Don’t have a whole lot of time to write too much more! I just have to get thinking what can I do on a daily basis to make things happen that need to happen. I like to say “Just do it” but sometimes there needs to be more direction or breakdown of what needs to get done and what order and how to do it that is an efficient way! I know I can do this I kept my family sane and house fairly clean all while making a cake to feed 300 people! Why can’t I just keep the house clean, bake on small cake and keep the house clean and have time to get groceries and get in my half marathon training too?! …I guess there is a lot on that list isn’t there? I may need to expand my expectations for the time that I have!

Add squirrelFor all you ADD overwhelmed folks like me just keep going. Sometimes it is hard you just have to pick something to do and do it. I get so overwhelmed and even trying to pick what I am going to do first is a huge debate in my head. I am working on it with my therapist. Right now I am going to go do dishes, then clean the rest of the kitchen, then move to the dining room and living room last. For me and my ADD brain, making a list (and feeding myself some coffee to perk up my energy) is key! That list needs to be written down on the white board or my phone or on paper if it is in my head it gets lost in the spider web of the rest of my brainstorm! Also a few drops of Young Living Essential Oils: Brain Power, Vetiver, Cedarwood, and Lavender to name a few.

happiness writing a listAbove all what I need to do is accept myself and love me for me and for what I have done well, today! I did get to have lunch with the Girl at school, took cupcakes in and collected some money for the Boy’s baseball Bat-a-thon fundraiser. Now off to finish this sprint of cleaning and decorating a cake before the kids show up! Love yourself, everyone, even when it’s not your best day! Cake just came out of the oven! I had time to write this post while it baked. Going to go work on that list! Happy list making and crossing off things now!

Everyone Should Have A Thing

The wedding of my friends was amazing! The cake was a success! It looked beautiful and tasted awesome. I am posting a photowpid-img_20150425_190520.jpg. I feel truly blessed to have been able to do this cake for my friends. It was a tough week but it paid off!

The party at our friends wedding was off the hook! Apparently, we were up until after 5:30 this morning! I was feeling it this morning for sure! (can you said hang over?) Last night was fun with friends we sang Mexican love songs and danced all night! We have great friends and I am thankful for them.

Today, luckily our plan included a long drive to meet up with the grandparents so the Girl could do her traditional birthday shopping with Gram. It was a fun day with our family. I made it through (only after we pulled over for me to puke, yeah it was that bad!)  So I got to rest in the car and sleep a bit of the hangover off. I can’t believe she is turning 11 in 6 days!

We got back into town for the Hubs to have his first softball practice. He used to love to play on a men’s softball league (that is how we originally met yesterday’s groom). But due to the Boy playing baseball and the Hub’s always coaching and our lives being super busy, as well as the lives of the men he used to play with, the Hub’s has not played in a few years. But he gets to play this year!take care of you They had their first practice this evening. The kids and I rode our bikes down to where they practiced and I got to play a little backyard baseball with the kids and some other boys who were there while the ‘big boys’ practiced. I had so much fun. It is usually the hubs that does that stuff with the kids and I try to play but just have a hard time just playing with no rules and my lack of skill. But I decided I would go out and just play, forget about everything that usually holds me back.! It was a blast. I am glad I got to do it.

I am happy the Hubs gets to play ball this year. We all really need some-‘thing’ that is just ours. Some time to do something just for fun just for ourselves. I have my running (haha since I have been skipping more training that actually running) the girl has dance and the boy has his sports. The Hubs has not had a ‘thing’ he is just too busy working and coaching and mowing our lawn. So I was glad to hear when he decided he would play! Everyone needs their own thing that they do just for them! I can’t wait to watch him play and see him in those baseball pants! I hope they do black pants, those are my favorite!

I had a great weekend, hope you did too! Mine was more than great! I love weddings and I love my family! I enjoy presenting a cake and watching the faces as they see it and hearing the “mmmm’s” as they eat it! It was a hard work that took a lot of time but it was well worth it and I get instant gratification when I see people enjoying my work!

Completion Relief!

So I finished the cake! It is beautiful. I can post a photo yet because I want it to be a surprise to the bride and groom. I did it! I finished a cake and kept my house clean. The only day I had an issue was yesterday! I miss judged how long it would take to make the buttercream, fill and stack cakes, crumb coat with buttercream and the cover in fondant. I got it done at about 11:30 last night. Then realized I forgot  dowels to support the three tired cake in itself. So off to the store this AM. Then when delivering the cake to the venue, I realized that I forgot to bring buttercream (the glue for all the decorations.) I MacGyvered a way with straight pins and store bought ‘writing icing.’

Overall I feel my plan was sound, and time management was pretty good, following my plan, but my plan did not take into account making buttercream to coat and covering a cake for 300 people with fondant. It takes substantially longer. So I should, next time, give myself a whole day for the fondant and decorating and do the buttercream and stacking in one day.

Because of my mismanagement of time I missed the boys baseball game but I have time to shave my legs and iron the Hubs’ pants and write this quick post. All in all I am proud of myself! The cake looks beautiful the house is not a disaster (although I do have some catching up and deep cleaning to do) and only one shouting match with the hubs on the last day so tensions were high (his patience for cake stuff all over and my anxiousness of getting it done and running behind and letting him down because I was not present with him last noghtt) but I feel like it was a success. We’ll hold off on official verdict until it is officially delivered to the happy couple at there wedding! Check back for pictures later!

Enjoy your Saturday! Do what makes you happy!

Conquer Your Fear and Saddle Up!

CourageHappy Friday Friends! It is cake decorating day! It is the day when I get to put these flaky sponge like squares into a stack and make them beautiful. Tomorrow is the beautiful day for two of my favorite friends! I am so happy to be part of it. At the same time I am scared to death! I am following the advice of the late John Wayne and saddling up anyway! My saddle is in the form of an apron!

I have embellished the cake topper covered the cake board in foil and will add the ribbon decor around it after the cake is complete on the board. I have a massive amount of caramel filling that is supposed to use 1/3 of the Buttercream that I will make for it. I am making 6 batches of butter cream I hope that is enough so I will go ahead and make the 12 batches for the filling first, fill the cakes and stack the layers. The cakes will probably end the night as 3 separate cakes and will be built on site at the wedding. I am hoping to take it in today before the boys baseball game.

OK there is my game plan. I have some cleaning up of breakfast mess and then get going on making the Buttercream. I am scared and at the verge of tears. I love my friends and they have so much confidence in me! I hope that I don’t let them down! The Hubs has been super supportive even telling me the cake topper looks awesome! Beautiful thing never perfectI know he could care less about jewels and design but he knows I do and he has been great helping me through this week and my doubts! I am going to do my best and that I have done some pretty bad ass things so it is time to go be a bad ass and kick this cake’s ass! Hit a home run so to speak! Cakes are meant to be eaten there is a perfect imperfection in a cake. Can’t wait to see it and my two friends all looking amazing! Go be awesome today friends! Happy Friday!
