Sugar High

Ever seen Empire Records? I used to ♥ that movie and watch it all the time. One of the soundtrack songs is called "Sugarhigh". Although this song is not really appropriate to post here, it was running through my head this morning as I was decorating a cake.

I feel like I am on a sugar high lately. I made this beast of a cake last Friday for a friend's birthday. (Then Bart, Ethan, and I went to her surprise party. It was great b/c I asked her what her plans for that night were and she replied, "Probably just dinner with the family. My DH didn't make big plans." or something like that.)

Today I made a small (really small, a single 8 inch and a single 6 inch) cake for Brennan's friend, Willa's birthday. It's just for her and her mom and brother, but I need the practice so I just baked her a cake and told her mom not to worry about getting or making one. I even used the letter mold my mom gave me a long time ago for the first time. It was not nearly as difficult to use as I thought and I liked the way the letters turned out, other then not planning the placement better and having the A overlap the pink circle. LIVE AND LEARN folks.

My next cake, to be decorated Saturday before the Pro Bull Riding event Bren and I are attending, is a birthday cake for Ms. Lexie who is turning FIVE! It's going to be a Camp Rock cake and I am hoping it turns out well. I've got big plans for it...now if those plans translate into real cake, we will see.

So, enjoy my sugar high. I am...because I can't eat my creations. I just get to play with them, decorate them, and send them on their merry way...to add inches to others waistlines.
