Happy Birthday Devin!

Today my amazing husband turned 24. I am so happy to have him in my life and cannot wait for many more birthdays.

Happy Birthday Devin!

Flower Candy Box

This semester I am taking a confectionary (candy making) class and my midterm project had to be some sort of candy box that is completely edible, I also had to make the candy to go inside. You may think it is ugly, but I don't care because it was a lot of work and I am very proud of it. It is made of pulled sugar and as said earliar completely edible.

The candy inside is Divinity, Coconut Brittle and a Brown Sugar Caramel.

How much is that doggie in the window?

Last weekend we went to check out the Wolf to Woof museum in Idaho Falls. Devin and I are definitely not animal lovers so we laughed at all of the 'save the dogs' stuff but other than that it was pretty interesting. Here is Devin sporting his dog ears.

Bountiful Basket

Have you heard of bountiful baskets. I heard about them from someone at school and thought I would buy one and see what it was like. They are $15.00 and comes with about a laundry basket full of fruits and vegetables. Here is what we got...

We like to have fresh fruits and vegetables in the house but it is hard when you are on a college student budget, trying to decide if this is a good deal. What do you think?

Cakes

I have been a little too busy to update as you have probably noticed. I have made 3 more cakes and I have been getting very excited about the improvement I've made. Here they are...Enjoy.

Not my style, but it was a requirement for the class. Everything you see I made, the bird, butterflies and all the flowers.



I made this cake for my Final project



I had a lot of extra fondant from my final so I decided to make an easter cake for fun.

Valentines Weekend

Saturday night I got a call from my Mom saying that they were coming to visit. I was so shocked. They arrived Sunday and joined us for Valentines Sunday dinner and Janae' and I made a Valentines cake, which turned out really cute. Monday we decided to take a little road trip to Jackson Hole where we walked the town, took the classic picture under the antler arch and went Ice skating. Here's a few pics from our fun weekend.










Thanks for the fun weekend Mom and Dad.

Shopping Online

I have never been much of an online shopper but recently I made two online purchases. The first one was a power cord for my computer because mine broke. I ordered it from Amazon and knew it would take a few days to get here, then I got an e-mail saying they were on back order so it would take an extra week or two... no big deal. Well, I got it in the mail, and guess what, it is not the right cord. I know I ordered the right one because the invoice has the correct item on it, but the cord I got is not right. Next, I ordered Devin a Coach money clip for valentines day, which I was very excited about and could not wait to surprise him with, since he has been wanting one. It was delivered and I hurried to open it to check out my awesome purchase and I found a small purse..... not what I was expecting, not even close. So I checked my invoice and sure enough I ordered the right item, I was just shipped the wrong thing! grrr. So I had to tell Devin what he was supposed to get. I checked the price tag on the purse and it was twice as much as the money clip... so if I was a dishonest person I might just keep the bag... but I won't be doing that. Does anyone else have bad luck shopping online?
