summer creations

so i have been a pretty terrible blogger this summer.  i know, i'm awful.  i really don't have any excuse.  anyway, i'm going to post a bunch of pictures to show you some of what i have been up to.  it isn't all of the creations i have created (because, i have also been a bad craft photographer).  but at least you are getting a summary.  maybe i'll be better this fall.  yeah, i doubt it, but a girl can try.  so here you go:

savory deep-dish mushroom pie - this was for the opening ceremonies of the olympic games. british themed food, of course! 

this is sue mi's birthday cake.  the girl like board games and is korean - hence the monopoly board and the korean characters for monopoly.  notice the cute little asian girl portrait - that's sue' face in butter cream.

my roommate's fiance asked me to make his son and his brother a joint b-day cake. so the 26 car  is for the brother and the 2 car is for the little boy.  this cake is also dairy free yet was surprisingly delicious.

my friend christy from back home had a baby over the summer. she has posted photos of how she decorated the baby's room.  she did a fun mural with song birds and an owl on the wall.  so i went with the theme to make this little guy.

my sister-in-law's baby shower was in august. i was put in charge of dessert. so i make four dozen mini pies (peach, strawberry, and apple/blackberry).  they took 5+ hours to make, but they were yummy!

i threw my roommate a bridal shower with a purple theme - since it is her favorite color. this is the bathroom with some of the purple poms i made (notice the purple hand towel, candle, and bunting also in the room).

and the purple bunting i made for the living room decorations - i might have to sell this on the etsy shop - it is too cute to not let someone else enjoy!
