Fashion Star: Episode 7
Kara Larick’s suit was baggy. It looked like it was 3 sizes too big on all of the models. And long. I was betting someone was going to buy it – most likely Saks. And after a ridiculously long wait, they of course paid $100,000 for it. Only problem is that no one else wants …

Vegas Baby! Miracle Mile Shops and The Walk Back
After leaving Paris at around 6, we walked over to the Miracle Mile shops. The designer shops were getting a bit old at this point, considering I couldn’t buy anything (except an overpriced chai at Starbucks with my gift cards) but of course I had to take the gratuitous ceiling shot. Hundreds of crystals hung …

Rose Cake
I was commissioned to do a cake for my mom today. Mostly, she wanted to take it to work and peddle my wares, but she’s also using it as a thank you gift to the union at work. She told me I could do whatever I wanted, so I did a little searching on pinterest and Google …

Vegas Baby! The Bellagio and Paris
Our next stop in Vegas was the Bellagio. On our way in was a corridor of shops with a beautiful glass ceiling that I fell in love with. My brother’s girlfriend spotted these bags and pointed out how she thought I’d like them. She really had no idea how amazing I thought they were. I …

Vegas Baby! The Mirage and Caesar’s Palace
Well, this isn’t what you were expecting on a Thursday, was it? I got tired of sharing pictures of icing flowers and not cakes. There’s only so many things you can really say about the same flowers. BUT there will be two cakes next week, so you’re not missing out on anything! I shared a …

Fashion Star: Episode 6
I wasn’t able to watch last night’s episode because of work, so all I have for you is the highlights of the show. Saks made one purchase last night, a chiffon dress from Kara Laricks. This was a very girly surprise from her, and I’m a little impressed, though the shaping doesn’t look the best to …

Vegas Baby! New York New York, MGM Grand, and Harrah’s
On my second day in Las Vegas, we discovered the tram from the Luxor to the Excalibur, then walked over to the MGM. The fastest way from the Excalibur to MGM is around New York, New York, which has some of the prettiest sights in the city, I think. It’s a small scale replica of …

Vegas Baby! Luxor and Excalibur
As I mentioned the other day, I took a trip to Vegas this past weekend, and it was AMAZING! I left insanely early Thursday morning, and fell asleep against the window shortly after takeoff (which is apparently the only way I can sleep on a plane) and half an hour later, woke up when the plane …

Asparagus Frittata
Pinterest makes me do wonderful, wonderful things. Sometimes evil, but mostly wonderful. Yesterday I made one of those wonderful, amazing things. When I saw this baked asparagus frittata recipe over onCookie and Kate, I knew that I had to make it. And it was fate when I realized that I had everything I needed for …

Wilton Course 2: Class 1
Yesterday’s class was… anticlimactic. We went over the color wheel, complimentary colors, monochrome… you know, all that stuff they teach you the first week of EVERY art/design class you ever take. We did learn a little bit about fondant and gum paste, then did a bit of mixing and learned how to use the button …
