long time no cakes!
i haven't had an opportunity to make any cakes lately. finding time to decorate is almost impossible with three young children! i will be posting my christmas cookies later this week, as well as our son's 2nd birthday cake in early january, so stop in from time to time to see what's new! or check out my other blog, misadventuresinmommyhood, where i spend entirely too much time talking about how adorable/ornery our kids are.
