BTS Traditions

I have been making back-to-school cake since Blaise started Kindergarten. It is a silly, fun tradition that we enjoy eating on the night before the big first day. I love the first day of school and all the excitement....I even love to start a new quarter still and I'm 30.....here is last years cupcake...my all-time favorite the "chalkboard" cupcake
I had the best of intentions this year with a "math book" cupcake but writing math on a little cookie proved to be impossible...and they ended up looking similar to last year...oh well! They were still yummy!

Matt's 29th Birthday

Matt got several days of celebration this year....on Monday we had all the comfort

foods that he requested....like meatloaf, corn, crescent rolls, and mac and cheese...all homemade of course. I realize that I have said that I'm trying to lose a few pounds....but this is what he wanted! Then on Tuesday(his actual birthday) Blaise gave him that great baseball game(Matt was very proud....and has been working with him all spring), Wednesday we opened presents(not a whole lot this year since we were just getting back from vacation:() and I made this decadent delicious from scratch German Chocolate cake.....yumm yummm! It was fun to make and one of the best cakes that I have ever made!!!!!
