eight IS great

I saw this CTR cake design a few months back and filed it away, knowing it would be perfect for my nephew's upcoming baptism. I'm sure I'll be making the same one next year when Aidan turns 8 (is it seriously that soon?!). 

I'll need another chance for sure now that I look at this picture again {I'm itching to perfect the placement of those bees!}

Talin turned 8 in April and his baptism was last Saturday.  Megan has lived away from the valley through Tom's bachelor's degree and through most of his med school, but we've been lucky to have them here during his last year of rotations.  I love having nieces and nephews close by, getting to know them and sharing special occasions.  I love for my kids to know their cousins.  The Chambers are headed to Tucson this summer to start Tom's residency program.  It isn't as far away as they have been, but I will miss them terribly.  My boys will, too.  

Happy Baptism Day, Talin.  We are all so proud of you and the good choices you make.  You're a wonderful example to my boys!

Another fabulous cake!!! What are those bees made of??

the bees are just fondant with gelatin sheets attached for wings and foodsafe black marker for the details.
