The Winter Months...

We are still here and alive in Winston-Salem, we have just gotten slack about blogging! Here is an update in our lives...we have been renovating, painting, playing in the snow, and baking!

We spent Valentine's Day weekend at the lake with some friends...



Abby, Gracie, and Duke...new friends!

And we played in the snow!



We just had to see how the bowling ball would like the snow...and Gracie had a blast with the pink ball!



We tried to build a snowman but Gracie thought we were making a giant snowball for her to play with!



She loved having snowballs thrown for her...



Will missed shoveling snow in Colorado...



And we have been redoing our kitchen...here are some before and after pictures...







The new kitchen!! Yay! Finally...new floors, no dividing wall between the den and kitchen, new paint color for cabinets (painted by me!), new countertops, new island, and still in the works, new backsplash!



A close up of our new countertops!



Gracie modeling the new den...new love seat, coffee table, carpet, chair, and paint color...now waiting on new curtains!



More redecorating pictures later....here are some baking pictures...





My new favorite things...cupcake pops...



I made Mom mini tote bag cakes for her birthday!!







More pictures to come when we completely finish our kitchen!

Hey Allison! I just saw the comment you left on my blog! Sorry it took me so long to find it! Your cake pops are adorable! I make mine with my signature chocolate cake and super-secret cream cheese frosting recipe. I have also made them with pumpkin cake and they were good too. I have tried them with strawberry cake and they were too moist. I have also made them with coconut cake and they went over very well. Cake pops are a hard item to price due to the fact that they take A LOT of work ( as you know) and I make both the cake and the frosting from scratch. The over head cost would be less if I made them from box/can but I refuse to sacrifice the quality. That said, I am having a hard time pricing them based on my margins and what people are willing to pay. Needless to say I am still feeling out the pricing! BTW your tote bag cakes are ADORABLE!!! So cute! Good Luck! danielle
