Halloween

I got to do my first school Halloween party. My mom always did ours and we loved them. I did the classic root beer in a black cauldron with dry ice that makes it look like witches brew. Then I made ppj sandwiches cut into bats, and finally a fudge striped cookie turned upside down with a hershey on top to make little witches hats. That was snack. Then for the activities I had three stations. One was a bean bag toss, second "S" is for spider, where they decortated a s into a spider, and third cupcake spiders. The way we seperated them into groups was I took my amazing cricut and paper doll cartridge and made little witches, cats, and vampires and had them laminated and put a pin on the back and the kids were all given one and they went to to their groups. It was so cute and they loved the pins. I'm sorry I didn't get any pictures but I don't know how anyone handle 22 kindergartners. I go crazy. Then in the evening we had a school carnival. My friend it the PTO president and my other friend is the activity coordinator for PTO. Well the one friend in charge of activities is moving and I have been elected as the new activity person for the PTO. So I felt like I really needed to be there to help out. Well good thing because people didn't show up to help like they signed up for so I was all over the place. It was ok I just didn't get any pictures again really, except for Natalia in the bounce house becuase I was there at the time working it. It was so busy and the PTO did a great job and the made alot of money. It was so busy.

I put my hair in dreadlocks for fun during halloween. People thought it was so cute and so me. They said I look like the hippy type. Now, don't worry I quickly explained that if you wanted to see real hippies you would have to go to Eugen and then you would realize that I was anything but a hippy. I also told them not to let my dad hear that. But it was fun to have dread and they were pretty cute. It took lot of hair spray and time though, and I don't want real ones by any means. I don't know why the pictures keeps on flipping sideways sorry.

Yeah Oregon Won!!!!

Natalia loved the bounce house.

I was asked to donate a cake fore a Carnival in Shelley Idaho for their cake walk. This cake was to be the grand prize. The week that it was to be picked up was super busy and I didn't want to make it to early because I like my cakes to be fresh. So the night before at 10 PM (the only chance in the week to make it) I started my cake. I finished it by four in the morning and it was picked up at 10:30 in the morning.

The whole cake is edible except for the pipe cleaners that I used for legs. The cake was a white almond cake with chocolate mousse and raspberries for filling. The outside frosting was french vanilla buttercream. I decided to not put fondant on it for cost reasons and time but I was acutally happy I didn't because the cake looked better without it personally. The spider was rice krispie treat covered in fondant and the orange border was fondant with some shine put on it to make it pop even more. I was way excited with the results. Like I told my mom when I finally started decorating I got in the zone and couldn't stop. It was a great feeling. I can't wait to hear what people at school have to say about it tomorrow. I know that's kind of prideful but it's fun when people learn new things about yout.  and the winner was the person who picked it up. If you want to see more of the treats I have been making lately I made a blog for all that stuff. It's elisescakeshop.blogspot.com it's on the side bar of this blog if you want to just click on it.

Then on Saturday we had a war chilli cook off and trunk or treat. Everything halloween was done on Saturday because today is halloween and we live in mormon country. I was actually really happy to see that even the mall did their little thing on Saturday. I know people were upset about it but I think it shows the community what is really important. That's just my opinion. Sorry I don't have any pictures of the ward party but tyson was in charge of the camera. I think that explains everything.
I don't have pictures of Jaden becuase he was all over the place in his Spiderman costume. He wanted to show all his friends and he wanted the darn candy. So half the time I didn't even know where he was at. I tried to get one picture once but he wouldn't stay still.
