Not one but TWO strawberry cakes

I had to make not one but 2 strawberry cakes...

I tried to get a picture of them before they got eaten... too late.

Its another "petite sandwiches" theme this year.

♥♥♥♥

For my 2 little doll's joint birthday party the invitation said, "endless desserts" so I had to deliver. I made 2 strawberry cakes, chocolate chip fudge cupcakes, a variety of cookies and other scrumptiousness. I went with the 2 strawberry cakes instead of a different cake because when you have two little girls, they have to have matching everything or someone gets upset and throws a tantrum!
The sandwiches menu included the classic PB&J, organic turkey and provelone cheese, dada made roast beef and blue cheese and a spicy buffalo chicken on roll. Throw in a couple fancy (frozen) pizzas and we had a party!

My Mini cakes enjoyed her big yummy cake!

Somebody must have taken a picture of us with dada! If any one has a picture of luvluvjones at the party please email me, thanks.

update: Thanks Jamaican Queen for getting us the family picture!

Cake on the Mind

I have cake on the mind. It is birthday time and we are having a little soiree this Sunday for the little ladies. Skyla Rosie (who turns 3 on Tuesday) is requesting a strawberry cake...the same one I made for her first birthday which was quite a hit.

But of course we had a tea party theme...

Should I do another tea party this year? ...and what will my 2nd cake be?...
Contemplating Red Velvet...


We will need two cakes this year since we are also celebrating Kaia the minicakes 1st birthday (which has past but still, a girl needs a big party).

ps: The Strawberry cake and frosting recipes can be found at All Recipes.com,
The frosting is a cream cheese frosting.

Giggles N Hugs

Kaia (we call her Mini Cakes, pictured above) turned ONE on Saturday and we had a such fun-filled kid day. We spent the early afternoon at the local park where everyone was out since the sun finally appeared!
All the dads were out and goofing around
and making a big ruckus.

Then for dinner we went to this neat kids restaurant called Giggles N Hugs located in West Los Angeles. It is not surprising that the little ladies LOVED it and Skyla cried when it was time to go. The food is a bit pricey but we stuck to the safe bets. Mac N Cheese for the kids, I got the chicken Panini and LuvLuvJones got the Chicken Burger. The separate play area had a jungle gym, a few slides of different sizes, some play sets such as a kitchen, a clubhouse and a "makeup" table. The place had a lot of other toys and little bikes, and horseys as well. It also has WIFI for the adults, oh and a video game system. If you don't mind the jungle of kids and the pricey-ness then it is a good time to be had by all and a good place to wear out the kiddies.

After the restaurant fun we picked up a big red velvet cupcake for my little doll...She now understands that birthdays are so much fun!

Yay its Fall and time for a seasonal update

The lil' ladies are looking forward to the holiday season! There is already talk of Halloween dress-ups, monsters and the DARK!
Here are some pictures of them and a bandana. (also momma and dada's recent trip to Lone Pine/Mt Whitney)

See ya in the winter! (just kidding! or not)

What we've been up too...

matching outfits....

...cool hairdos

bbq'ing with friends...

....fun in the LA sun

and new places for parents to dish out cash

Raggamuffins

Why is it that my children always end up with one bare foot?

Coo Coo

Hello readers, I've been having so much fun with the lil' ladies that 3 months have gone by and I find myself back at work already. Which means more time for blogging instead of working, hooray! The lil' ladies are getting along real well, pretty soon they will be ganging up on their ol'mum and dad and stealing the car but for now they couldn't be more cute (and goofy). Kaia is now all coos and smiles and Skyla is all about pointing out the POOs (be it her own, the cat's, the baby's or the dog's). I really enjoyed staying home with them! Having two is definitely more fun than one!

Who's Who?
