Cake Decorating Kits {Review}

This week I’m reviewing My Cake Decorating Kits. I was given this opportunity because I’m part of the Alabama Women Bloggers Community. If you want to learn more about cake decorating, I highly recommend you check them out. It’s a monthly subscription system, where you receive a new kit each month. Each kit comes with a magazine with beautiful pictures and recipes, as well as all the materials needed to decorate cakes and cookies.

The starter kit for month 1, which is only a $1.99 includes:
First Guide, Set of Two Butterfly Cutters, a Cupcake Stand, and bonus gift – Icing & Cookie Press Gun Set.

So I made the butterfly cookies and had intentions of decorating them the next night. Well, my kids got a hold of them and needless to say there were no cookies to be had to decorate.

So that was a great excuse to make the yummy chocolate cake recipe with the chocolate butter cream icing. I have never been that great at cake decorating, but I’ll have to say that with My Cake Decorating Kits and a little practice, I could actually make some beautiful creations.

Kent-ography::Week 25

Kent-ography

Kent-ography is a weekly tribute to my Dad, who lost his battle with ALS in December 2013. I wanted to feature some of his awesome photography, or as I like to call it “pics my Dad took.”

As I scrolled through this folder of pics, I admired that my Dad took pics of cows. Thought there were some really good, close-up shots.

10 Tips for Long Distance Relationships

I’ve read several blogs lately of people who are in long distance relationships. It got me thinking back to the relationships that I was in back in college that were long distance. I am happy to say that the last long distance relationship I was in ended up in marriage! 🙂 17 years strong!

10 Tips for Long Distance Relationships

I thought I’d write a post about somethings that can make being a part a little easier as well as keeping each of you in check.

Here’s the end of the month summary for August. Where has this year gone?

This month I was happy about: meh…I’m kind of indifferent to this question. Nothing really stood out to me for what I was happy about.

Something I accomplished this month was: …uhhh…don’t feel like I accomplished anything!
