Happy 4th Birthday Nathan & Sophia :)

can you believe it!? they are 4 yrs old already!!! where does the time go??? this year i thought i'd try to MAKE their birthday cakes btw-unless you are a professional and do this all the time....i highly advise NO ONE try this!!!! it's extremely time consuming and exhausting!!! i literally spent from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm working on these cakes. making icing, coloring icing, baking cakes, stacking cakes, filling icing bags, and washing tons of dishes!!! however, the kids loved them and that is what it's all about.......right????!!! (i keep telling myself that)

p.s. - guess i should throw in a disclaimer that we didn't serve our 4 yr old a beer for his birthday :)



the finished products......

  1. Wow Melinda!!! I remember having a "Barbie" cake like Sophia's when I was a little girl! I'm sure both of them will remember those cakes for the rest of their lives! Well worth all that work you spent! Great job!!

About Me

well....where do i begin?? i have never done a "blog" before, and don't know if this is even for me. but a few friends, and one very persistant sister-in-law(esther)really encouraged me to start some sort of "blog" or any place online, to share photos i have taken. so i thought, what the heck!? most everyone knows that photography has been a hobby of mine for a few years now. so with lots of practice, lots of failing, lots of reading and googling, i feel like little by little i'm getting a little better all the time. and part of the reason for getting better, is because of the famous gina..... whom EVERYONE loves and knows, she has been letting me pick her brain for tips and tricks. also, kris, who i met online after joining a photography forum, who happens to be an awesome wedding phogtographer, she has been a TON of help as well! since i have 3 children, my goal is to be able to truly capture, like a professional can capture, the pure innocence and fun of my children. (and i get it for free!) and, since i have lots of wonderful friends & family, i get to practice on them, too!
