Happy Birthday to the Fam!

My family celebrated my mother and my niece’s birthdays this past weekend. I made them both a cake–almond for Mom and chocolate for Halley.

I made the mistake of placing them both on the same board and trying to decorate from there.  Slightly awkward.

And I technically haven’t “learned” the flowers/leaves yet. I was having trouble getting the leaves to point.

But here we go: ;-)

A.K.A Wilton’s Decorating Course 1.

This is the cake I did at/after the second class. I ended up starring the whole thing in class and redid the  top when I got home.

I love the beach.  I love the beach in winter.  I love the solitude and the beauty of the beach without tourists.  I love the crashing waves and the joy that the ocean breeze brings. I love to sing along with the waves.

These are some of my favorite beach pictures.  Most are at Sandbridge in Virginia Beach, some in the adjoining Wildlife Reserve, and a couple are from Nags Head.
