Goodwill Find: My Glass Cupcake Stand for $14.92!







What I'm saying girls is: You can be creative and make you own Cupcake Stand! I've been debating on which cupcake stand to purchase? Debating about which cardboard ones to purchase was mind boggling. I have to say, Yayyyyy! Ladies look at what I found today at the Goodwill Store! I found 4 round glass circles (that went to a table or something), found some square vases and a bigger one for the pedestal. Inserted some roses in the bottom pedestal. I also found a silver candle holder with hanging crystals on attached for .99 cent's, which will be hanging off of the bottom glass when complete. The whole set up only cost $14.92! Bottom glass piece is 20 inches, all the other pieces are 14 inches. I'm so excited for Mother and Daughter's Tea this weekend for Mother's Day! I have another pedestal that may be used and I'll show you the finished product!

Whatcha think: My Wilton Class 3 Cake~Tiffany Spring Wedding Cake




This was our anniversary cake on Saturday. This is my 2 tiered fondant top cake from the Wilton Class course 3. Whatcha think girls? I'm so excitied about the creation of my favorite Lemon Pudding Cake with Lemon Filling (homemade) and tiffany colored fondant. The bottom layer was Rod's favorite butter cake with chocolate bavarian creame filling and buttercream. Flowers are made out of fondant Roses and Power Flowers.
I GOT MY 3RD WILTON CERTIFICATE! YAYYYY!
I wasn't going to take the course 4 class (Fondant & Gum Paste), but my instructor-{Pam Caraway} was mad at me for turning it down and pleaded with me to do it! I WILL! Remember how I wasn't set on doing wedding cakes, just cupcakes? LOL I've came a long way because of Pam! She's pushing me to do this and she feels that I can! Thank you, Pam!

The biggest test for the class was, transporting the cake without failure! As you see in the slideshow, I made it home safely! HAAAAA! I DID IT! Also in the slideshow you see me and Rod cutting the cake together and going to the drive-in later in the back of our van with sleeping bags and pillows. Nightmare on Elm Street was the feature all cozy up together under the stars! Hehhehehe....He's so romantic! The ending slideshow shows other creations the other students made in class with the pillars. I didn't do pillars, because this is basically a trial run for me for my upcoming cake order. YESSS! I have my first wedding cake order for June 12th for a 3 tiered cake in pink and white!We'll ladies, enjoy my creation TIFFANY SPRING WEDDING CAKE!

Our Wedding Anniversary Celebration!
Repost: How:Today makes 11 years of marriage!




I'm reposting this, for some reason, there wasn't many hits yesterday like 6? LOL I really wanted to share this with your girls!

LARHONDA & RODRICK'S
11TH ANNIVERSARY TODAY!!!!
I've been distant for a while girls, busy to the bone. I had to post this for my love cakes. "HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, Darling!"

We brought in our anniversary at midnite, doing some of my big orders of wedding fan progams, boutonnieres and he was joking with me about the mass production of us bringing in the anniversary this way. He put on, "Eye Of The Tiger" (the song in Rocky!) LOL I was really tired, but he was there to give me a hand with punching the holes as I cut them out. At about 1 in the morning, we turned in and woke up to the kids making us breakfast. Rod and I looked at each other and realized how different it is this year. Our babies are growing up (Maya & Jewel, 11 & 10 in a minute) and how wonderful it's been. It's been a long haul, but definately rememberable. We talked about the day we got married the first time in 1999 and it was beautiful spring weather on our wedding day in Lake Tahoe (Harvey's Top Floor Casino). At 9:00 in the evening was our scheduled wedding nuptials in front of our close family and friends of 24 guests with over 200 candles overlooking us and the scenery was gorgeous! When the ceremony was over, we went over to Josh's Restaurant for our mini reception and had champange (Cooks) lobster and steak for $9.99!!!!! What a deal huh? LOL My father in-law paid the bill for everyone as a gift!

As we left the restaurant to go to a club over at Ceasars Palace, there was the weirdest wind chill! Snow flurries were dancing in the streets and at first we thought it was confetti. Rod has never seen snow until that day. LOL It snowed on our wedding day after having beautiful spring weather up there for the past couple of days!

The next morning, we were awakened by laughter outside of our suite (Secret's Inn, with the hot tub in our room), we opened the door and it was a WHITE OUT! EVERYTHING WAS WHITE with snow. We threw omn some clothes and shoes and joined some of the guests and had a snowball fight! WHAT FUN!

Anyways, I just wanted to share with you about our first wedding and it wasn't to exstravagant, but it was romantic!

We've had two additional weddings since then and they've gotten better and better, what ever the budget allows.

We've talked about doing the next one in 4 years at an island destination this time. He always wanted to do that from the beginning, so his turn will be satisfied.

KNOWLEDGE:
I know that it wasn't always easy and peachy-king. LOL One thing that has never changed was the love and support in our marriage. Also, he makes me laugh EVERYDAY! Sometimes our men drive us batty, but that all part of the package because I know I do the same. There is not a 100% perfect man out there girls. We have to learn and suck it in sometimes? I know we just don't know what to do, but just hang in there. WE LOVE OUR MEN, DON'T WE GIRLS!

Well, I'm off to my last cake decorating class for my first two tiered wedding cake! Oh yea, I actually have my first cake order on June 12th!

I'll post pictures later on.

Bringing back the sage for the pink and green brides! This one was created for a brides groom! She wanted the extra touch of Foo feathers to bring his out more than the groomsmen. Decor peas were added to her bouquet as well, so she wanted his to match.

This is called: Cranberry Chiffon Bouquets




This was for a fellow WBC bride that just got married last month. This one was created just for her MOH with the touch of cranberry (Sangria) splash. We started off with her mailing me a swatch of this Sangria color and I took it from there. I've been hearing so much about this Sangria color and took the challenge to making her dream come true with pink roses, babies breath and Sangria bows.

Rhonda: Take a peek at my Fondant Present Cake? Wilton Course 3







I've been having the worst time uploading here at WBC! Making me MADDD!!! It's been a couple days to long!!!!. LOL You think it will stop me? NOT!!!!
Whatcha think girls?
Saturday's class was off the hook! I made my first fondant present cake! LOVE IT! It definitely makes the cake have a smooth texture and sheen appeal! I wasn't able to finish the cake in class, but had brought it home for to complete it. I'm so excited about Wilton course 3, because on May 1st (our 11th wedding anniversary) I'm making a 2 tiered wedding cake for the finale of the class! What a perfect gift, huh girls? I even told hubby no secret getaways that weekend, because I'm so excited about making the wedding cake. LOL He said, he's not having that and we will be celebrating for sure after class!!!! Double LOL!
We actually ate it yesterday, sharing with some friends and celebrating some exciting news at the same time, but

WARNING, WARNING, WARNING, WARNING, WARNING!!!!

Note: Fondant is Blahhhh! It's a sweet dough-y - flour-y texture and taste gummy. I really don't think your guests would appreciate this taste. Like we always hear, most fondant gets wasted on their plates after pealing off of the burried cake beneath. Everyone including the kids were not to fond of this fondant. The cake was screaming, but the fondant is very weird!
Cake: Lemon Pudding Cake
Filling: Homemade Grandma's receipe~ Lemon Tang Filling
Icing: Buttercream (lightly)
