Have Your Cake and Eat it Too

I make ugly cakes. No, really. I once made my husband a camouflage cake and it wasn't even on purpose. My cakes are notoriously hideous. I am including proof.

This is a cake I made for my husband. Note that after I wrote his name, I wanted to use up the rest of the icing so I made little flowers around the edges. That is my M.O., as are the flecks of cake which you can see through the icing around the candles. The mismatched candles.

This is another birthday cake I made for my husband. I crossed out his name to save him from embarrassment. As you can see, I didn't even attempt to hide the cake I ripped up with icing (on the left side). See how I put three candles on the left and six candles on the right because it was his 36th birthday? I. Am. Brilliant.

This is quite possibly the worst cake ever created. I made this masterpiece for my son's second birthday. See the "2" in each corner? My poor boy took one look at this cake and burst into tears. I can't say I blame him.

As you can see, my husband bears the brunt of my poor decorating skills. I was truly starting to feel sorry for him, so this year I turned to a professional. Krazy Kakes is a family-owned, Columbus business and I clearly needed their help.

I told the cake designer that I wanted a small cake and that my husband is a huge fan of the Ohio State Buckeyes. Have you ever seen a Buckeye helmet?
Now, look at the cake.


Isn't that awesome? I was way impressed with the colors and the design. Here's the cake with Brutus on top.


Even cooler, right? My husband loved the look, we all loved the taste and those candy Buckeyes didn't last much longer than a minute.

This is all that was left when we were through.

The good news? I will never make another hideous cake. The better news? You have a chance to win a Krazy Kake!

Krazy Kakes is offering one lucky winner a free cake! It can be circle, square, hexagon, or oval, can feed about 8-10 people and can be any flavor of cake and frosting. Your cake can also be covered in fondant if you want something fancy.

I'm an Admiral in the Old Navy

I can't really begin to tell you how much I love Old Navy. For real. Like I would marry it. You can't beat the cuteness, you can't beat the price and you can't beat the quality. Enough said.

Well, no. It's not enough said. Because recently, I decided it was time for me to get some new clothes. I didn't get myself much of anything for fall or winter and had cleaned out my closet which ended up looking like Old Mother Hubbard's cupboard.

So, I walked into Old Navy with $100.00 and here's what I walked out with.

This cute, green shirt.



This soft, breezy and super-comfortable skirt.


Three pairs of flip-flops. One gray, one blue and one orange.


Some stylish, cargo-capris.


A cozy, long-sleeved tee shirt.



Two stainless-steel, water bottles...because the two I already have weren't enough.




And a crisp, white polo shirt.

And, after buying TEN items, I still have some money in my pocket! Which is why I think I want these shoes.What am I talking about? I need these shoes! Right? Right? Good. I'm glad we could all agree.
