Too much of a good thing???

I have been baking cakes and cupcakes like crazy... About 1 project each week! I think that I may need a little break for a while!
This is the cake that I made tonight for my friend Bobbi's baby shower. She is a 6th grade teacher at my school and is so excited to have her baby! They haven't found out if it's a boy or girl so I tried to make it gender neutral :)


These are some black and white cupcakes that I made for Elise's birthday. They were pretty fun to make! We celebrated her birthday by going to lunch with Kati, Christin, and Elise's daughter Leighton. It was fun to see all the girls.


BYU had a football game against ? (I can't believe I forgot!) a few weeks ago, so I just had to make cupcakes for the game! I melted tootsie rolls to shape into footballs. Ryan appreciated my effort at being a Cougar fan.

90 Years!!!

I've been trying out some new things with my cake decorating lately... I've been using fondant for some of the decorations! I don't like the way it tastes so I haven't tried covering a whole cake with it yet, but I like using it as an accent.
This cake is for my friend Katie's Grandma. She is turning 90 tomorrow and they are having a big family party for her with around 300 people coming. This is the cake that she'll blow out candles on (they have Costco cakes for everyone else to eat).
Here's another view of the cake. I think it turned out okay!
There are only a few more Bees games left this season. I'm sad! It's been really fun working at the stadium as a Honey Bee this season. There are always interesting people there and fun promotions (like this one with Snuggle). I'm not sure if I'm going to do it next year yet, but I still have a few more months to decide. Now I'm just focusing on school starting... It starts on Thursday the 20th. I'm excited to meet my students but will miss summer, of course!

LA and SYTYCD!!!

A couple of weeks ago I went to LA to watch SYTYCD (So You Think You Can Dance) with Peng, Tracy, and Cami. It was so much fun! Last year I was lucky to get tickets to watch it, and was so surprised that I was able to go again this year.
We stayed at the Ritz-Carlton in Marina Del Ray and spent some time playing in Hollywood. We also went to Venice Beach and here and there in LA. It was lots of fun, of course! Now I'm just looking forward to my upcoming Mexican vacation. I love being a teacher and having the summer off so that I can travel... My summer hasn't been all fun and games though. I spent 2 weeks of my summer taking 4 graduate-level math credits that will count towards my math endorsement. Other than that, my days have consisted of going to the gym and pool!!!

Taylor Swift Concert!!!



Tuesday night Peng, Annie, and I went to watch Taylor Swift perform at the Energy Solutions Arena.  She was SO amazing.  It was for sure the best concert that I've ever been to.  She sounded great and was a very talented performer.  

My favorite song that she sang was "You're Not Sorry," but she combined it with "What Goes Around" by Justin Timberlake.  It was so good!  Here is a link to her performance on YouTube...  I bet you'll love it too!

Puerto Rico!!!


Tonight I'm flying to Puerto Rico with Tracy, Peng, Josh, Annie, and Brock. We are going to stay in a really nice resort and soak up the sun! I'm excited to go to the rain forest there. We're also going to take a ferry to a nearby island called Culebra that has amazing beaches. So fun!
