Success!!!


Oh my goodness! The Mount Dora Art Stroll was a complete success!! Thank you so much to Artisans on 5th and the Mount Dora Chamber of Commerce for allowing me to provide my Cake Pops for this amazing event!  I handed out more than 100 business cards, and more than 150 Cake Pops were devoured!  To say that the guests at this event loved them, would be an understatement! I got such great reviews, it made my heart so happy to hear how much people liked them!

Not only did I have an amazing night, I also was invited by Catherine from the Mount Dora Chamber of Commerce to participate in another incredible event: The Taste in Mount Dora on May 22, 2011!  As a non chamber member and the fact that it is way past the cut off date, this is the opportunity of a lifetime! So, my dear friends, as of today, I have joined the Mount Dora Chamber of Commerce, and will be one of 8 participants at the 10th Annual Taste in Mount Dora!!!!!!  To say that I am excited would be an understatement! God is so good!

Okay, back to The Mount Dora Art Stroll! I debuted three new flavors of Cake Pops.  One was Red Velvet with Cream Cheese icing, another was Chocolate Mocha with Coffee Infused Icing, and the last (which I ran out of) was Yellow Cake with Organic Mango Infused Icing!  And, if I do say so myself, the latter was so delicious, no wonder I ran out of it!  These three new flavors were in addition to the basic Chocolate and Yellow Cake Pops.  All flavors were very yummy, but the front runners were definitely the Yellow Cake with Organic Mango Infused Icing and Red Velvet with Cream Cheese Icing.

So now that I have tackled Art Stroll and will be doing Taste in Mount Dora in May, next I will be tackling the coffee shops and various restaurants in Downtown.  Surely someone will want to add my Cake Pops to their repertoire, right?  Wish me luck!

I feel so blessed to be doing what I love and to feel the joy of success.  Look out Mount Dora, here I come, one Cake Pop at a time!

The Holy Land Experience Christmas Party Cake

Wow! This sucker was huge!  I had so much fun making this cake, but it was such a challenge to get it done. Between decorating and covering this cake in fondant, and helping my husband manage a moving sale we were having that morning, I got it done. I bought an 18" round cake pan and it didn't even fit in my oven (I used a towel to cover the oven and keep the heat in while it baked), and it didn't fit in my fridge once I put one layer of fondant on it! I ended up putting the cake in a box in the garage - thank you God, it was freezing cold outside (47 degrees fahrenheit) that day and I could do that. The cake was four different flavors (biggest to smallest): vanilla pound cake with vanilla icing and red and green morsels for filling; red velvet with cream cheese icing and filling; gluten free dark chocolate cake with andes mint mousse filling and vanilla icing; and carrot cake with cream cheese icing and filling.  The cake was a huge success! Miss Jan loved it! It was al...

Ballet Dancer Survival Kit

'Tis the Season....Ballet performance season that is. My boys and I already practically live at the studio, we are there 5 days a week just for their regular classes; but now that we are 3 weeks away from our Spring Performance of "Snow White", my boys have added rehearsals. My two boys adore Ballet. In fact, my 12 year old is going to the Bolshoi Ballet Academy Summer Intensive for three weeks this summer, which is such a huge honor. Therefore, in preparation for that and for spring performance, I am putting together my very own "Ballet Dancer Survival Kit" of doTERRA Essential Oils. In this "Ballet Dancer Survival Kit" I have included: *Frankincense: Known as the "King of Oils", it is highly sought after for its many uses including mood enhancement, relaxation, healthy cell function, reducing pain and inflammation, and relieves stress and anxiety. *doTERRA Breathe: A wonderful blend of oils including: Laurel Leaf, Peppermint, Eucal...

Mom Bod Overhall

I am a mom. My body shows the track marks of carrying two babies to term.  My weight is not what it once was before these precious gifts from God. It is time to change that, to put myself first for an hour or so a day. My babies are not babies anymore, they are teenagers now, on the cusp of manhood. Where did the time go? It feels like just yesterday that I was holding them in my arms, breathing in their baby smell, watching them sleep. I always put my family first, that is what a wife and stay at home mom does. But it is time that I get healthy and happy with my body again.  Don’t get me wrong, my body is amazing, it is a survivor, a fighter and I am immensely proud of that.  However, my body has become the “Mom Bod” that I hoped it never would. Dare I say it, I consider myself overweight.  I am done with that now. I am doing something about it. In my youth I was a swimmer and waterpolo player. I was athletic, I was happy, and I was thin.  I don’t want to be...
