4th of July Cake Balls

This is an attempt at red, white and blue cake balls to celebrate the holiday right.  The melts that you use to dip the balls in make all the difference.  Clearly the blue melts are the winners.  Even if they don't look pretty, they sure do taste yummy!

Rodeo Boots 2012

Beautiful boots that will be perfect for next season's rodeo!

3-Layer Yellow Cake


Yellow cake with chocolate frosting.  It's important to remember eggs.  One of the layers, sadly, had to go without and it was a challenge to frost.  Eggs help to maintain the structure of a cake.

Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

I made chocolate chip vanilla ice cream last night.  This is the first of four flavors that I am making as a Father's Day gift.  Home made ice cream is delicious and surprisingly super easy to make!
