Vegas and not 21...

So, I randomly got a weekend off work, without requesting it so Mike and me decided to go down south to visit Becky! It was a super fun relaxing weekend! On Saturday we decided to jump in the car and go to Vegas! I had never been, and I was a little limited as to where I could go since I am still not 21 but we had a blast!

Our first stop was the 4 acre Bass Pro Shop! Mike could not get over how the parking lines were fish... he got SO excited!

What is that over there?

Probably one of the coolest motorcycles I have ever seen!

A beautiful array of colors in the M&M shop!

For some reason it took us at least 20 minutes to find the name "Jessica" M&M tattoo... so of course we spent the time finding it!

Mike got really into the race car and decided we all needed to show off our "sexy" poses! Becky got it started with her hot pose!

Mike told me to show of my assets.... what he thinks is my number one... so I was silly and did...

And of course he had to have his own pose!

Mike snuck this shot of the Coca Cola bear... very sneaky you weren't supposed to photograph him... maybe it sets him off to bite? I don't know...

A bunch of different popular sodas from around the world!

Here we go...

Bottoms up!

Okay and that one was really nasty!

The Bellagio!

Mike and Becky!

Mike's "scandalous" picture of the David... he didn't want to be in it though

Mike took me on a Gondola ride after we got some gelato!

It was such a fun weekend! We went golfing the next day... well after we slept most of the day recovering from our late night in Vegas! It was my first time and I got to use my clubs Mike gave me as a wedding gift! It was a pretty nice day, just a little windy but it was really fun! I just wish Becky lived closer so we could have weekend like that all the time!

Mario Birthday Cake

So it has been awhile since I have done a pretty fancy cake, but my coworker Alan asked me if I thought I would be able to pull off a Mario cake for his son. He showed me a picture of what they wanted and it was in buttercream so I showed him a couple other ides of fondant and what that would look like. Him and his wife decided that they liked it better, which is great for me, because although it is a little more pricey it is a lot easier for me to hide my mistakes in! He found all of the Mario pieces in a chess set on Ebay and ordered that, and then they found the large Mario in a store in Salt Lake. He was BIG, and it took me forever to think of a way to get him to stay on top but I think that the cloud was one of my favorite parts!

It really turned out well I thought. I loved making the little eating plant guy in the picture above here, sorry that I don't know their names. I made him completely by hand it was really cool to see him turn out so well.


The cake we chose was a yellow and chocolate marble with chocolate buttercream icing underneath the fondant. It looked yummy, and I hope it was... I haven't heard the verdict yet.

Mike was not to thrilled because he was my clean up crew. I had to go to work right as I was finishing the cake so he had to clean it all up... and when I cook or bake or anything I make a mess... but when I make a cake as extravagant as this its a REALLY big mess.

So hopefully it was to their satisfaction and I really hope Kylan liked it! He wanted a Mario cake so bad and had no idea that he was actually getting one!

Happy Birthday Kylan!
