Fall Is In The Air

Fall is officially here. Not just because it's after September 21, but because you can feel it in the air. Last weekend was absolutely beautiful, it was above 80 degrees on Friday! But this week there is a slight chill in the air. The kind that makes you run back in to grab a fleece before heading outside. The kind of chill that, although we would never admit it, Minnesotans wait for all year. I love the summer just as much as you, but there is something so refreshing about fall. I might change my tune as the dreaded winter sets in... but for now, I'm loving the fall!

Tape Measure Cake

What do you get for the guy that has everything? That's the question I ask myself every year as my Dad's birthday rolls around. He has enough ties, socks, and dvds. And gadgets..... I think he has a garage, no wait 2 garages full of gadgets along with the shed and storage locker. So this year I decided to think outside the box. I decided to think in cake (which is usually how I think best anyway!). Here is the shiny (and very realistic) cake I created for my Dad. Happy Birthday Dad (Dick Pyle)!

Yes, this is actually a cake. It's vanilla bean cake with vanilla bean icing.
