Oakland Temple

No this isn't the temple! It's a key lime cupcake that I made for St. Patrick's day... I know I say this about everything, but this was the yummiest!

Oakland Temple

Cute cute cute kids
The flowers are so pretty.. I wish I had the patience to plant my own garden... I would love to have these in my yard
After the temple we went to our favorite Saturday restaurant, SUBWAY, and hung out at Jack London square

Present Cake

I LOVE fondant (not the way it tastes... But it is SO amazing! You can create anything and it's SO easy! I've been trying to figure out how to make it taste better. Hopefully one day I will learn the secret (I haven't tried this cake yet! It's almost too pretty to eat!)

INSIDEOUTSIDE

Coyote Hills

On Saturday I went for a great run through Coyote Hills. It was such a nice day that I wanted to take Alex back after I got home. I know I should know this, but 3 miles for a little kid is FAR! I don't know why I always forget that my child can't walk very far!
I never go off the trail when I run so it was nice to walk around and just enjoy the scenery! My muddy butt.. We went onto a dirt trail and as we were walking this lady who was going the opposite direction said "The trail is really really muddy up ahead". I said "Thanks" and kept walking.. Well I wish I would have listened! I thought I could make it through the mud, but my flip flop got stuck, then when I pulled it up I flopped mud all over the back of me! Alex was laughing hysterically (why was I even in flip flops??). My feet and legs were really muddy too... But we ventured on.

Walking to the top of the hill

Yes I am a poser.. I blame my mother!

At the top we could see the bay! Next time we're going to walk down to it.

The marsh on the other side

The house at the entrance, I love old houses!

MoRe CaKe!

The Final cake for my final class (until I start again on Wed!)
I HATE roses! They are so hard for me.. I am super uncoordinated.. So I had to hide my roses behind other flowers!
But the best part about this cake.. The inside of course! I made a chocolate buttermilk cake with strawberries and chocolate pudding in the middle! Oh yum!

Then I decided that this cake was WAY too delicious to be frosted in butter cream! So I whipped up my delicious cream cheese frosting! Butter cream is just gross.. I get why it's used to make flowers and boarders, but it does not taste good! If anyone knows how to make a delicious butter cream, please let me know!

Cream cheese frosting isn't the prettiest, it just tastes the BeSt!!
Can you tell I'm missing Spring by my color choice?
I have no idea what Spring is going to be like in CA
I am thinking of Springs in UT
Tulips blooming (I love them)
Garden preparation beginning (Mom you better call Man-Well!)
Driving up into the mountains (to steal rocks!)
Rain (although we're getting plenty here)
I'm glad I'll get to see it for a few days!
