Birthday Celebration

We celebrated Brendan's birthday at my parents house last Saturday. I met this really cool woman at a business meeting that just opened a new bakery on 79th and Sandy, called Pastrygirl. It's a super cute place, and she can make a cake into anything you could imagine....what kind of a cake does a 14 year old want?? An ipod! It turned out so cute and we had a really great time snapping photos of it. As far as the taste, it was as yummy and sweet as it looks!

In my time off work, I have found that I have a love for cooking and baking. I am finally able to use all of the wonderful wedding gifts Charlie and I received. Yesterday, I followed this recipe I saw on the food network show -Barefoot Contessa. These maple oatmeal scones are to die for!
