Cake Pops: Alice in Wonderland Style

Oh boy, 'tis the season. I've been flat out at work this past week and the holiday season never fails to keep us busy running around town here and there, grateful to have so many fun things to be attending and so many wonderful people to be celebrating the season with.BD's cousin asked me to make cake pops for her daughter's Alice in Wonderland birthday party. The decorations were so gorgeous and whimsical and the cake pops looked beautiful along side the rest of the tea party decor. I loved it and I love her sense of style! It made me really excited to have a little girl someday.

It's the most wonderful time of the year

Let the holiday baking begin! All we need is snow...

Spotted

I've posted before about how I'm head over heals for the T@B tear-drop trailers. Then BD's cousin emailed me and clued me in that they are indeed available in the US and even in, that's right...Utah. I know!!! Freaking out right? My little crush just blossomed into a full blown love affair. On the way home from our little road trip over the weekend we spotted one of these beauties on the road. For a brief moment I turned into paparazzi borderline stalker and snapped a few shots because it seemed more appropriate than rolling down the window, jumping onto the roof of the trailer and demanding to be adopted by the couple driving the ship. Seeing a T@B in action, on the road, only reinforced my desire to someday tour all the national parks in the west with my one and only toting one of these and perhaps a bambino or two. {sigh}
