My first attempt at making an ombre cake.
Pretty pleased with the result. |
Our daughter had her Christening this past weekend. Last week while knee deep in party preparation for our family flying in from out of state I had to have an emergency root canal. Oh the pain and perfectly imperfect timing. Yes, it was very difficult decorating on pain killers but it was such a blessing to have my Mother in town to help me. She was here to help me keep an extra close eye on the kids while I was medicated, let me catch a nap when the pain was putting me in orbit, helped cut and hand me tape for decorations, etc. Best part was making an unforgettable memory while making Emerson's cake at 3 am while she shared with me all of my late grandmother's baking tips. She was a hard working single mom for much of my up-bring and there was just never time for us to have such bonding experiences. Better late than never. Definitely going to be a cherished memory of my mother. She was amazing! No idea how I would have juggled the pain, appointment, watching the kids if it were any other time since I am a SAHM with no other childcare option right now. God was most definitely watching over our family.
Feeling Blessed!
