Critter cam -- deer action!

 My critter cam was in the woods all spring, summer, fall  and we finally brought it in this weekend.

 I was delighted to see photos of mama and baby...

 ...and just baby, a bit bigger than the last pic.

 This is a fun series of three photos. Here's the mum...

...baby goes by about 20 seconds later...

 ...20 seconds later, here's dad!

Isn't this fellow a handsome boy! I sure hope he made it through hunting season.

And probably my favourite photo of all...the ultimate photo bomb!

Hospital fundraiser

 I made this cake for our local hospital's annual fundraiser and auction held last night.


It was so much fun making the teeny tiny cards, bouquet of flowers and of course, try of food -- all made of fondant.



 And here's the poor little soul, lying sick in his hospital bed while everyone enjoys dinner around him!
I'm happy it got a good price at auction with the funds going to the hospital.

Super Beaver Moon

 The super moon rose over Dunvegan at about 5:30 last night.

 My little point and shoot camera really doesn't do it justice. It was huge!

November's moon is traditionally called the Beaver Moon and this one was as close to Earth as it's been for a while. Super Beaver Moon!

Hail Caesar!

 I made this cake for Richard's birthday. Yes it's a cake!
I saw a salad cake on the Internet and just knew I had to make Richard one because he just loves Caesar salad.

 And he did love it! Kinda strange to put birthday candles in a salad? Naaah.


But once I served it up, it was pretty obvious it was a carrot cake disguised as a Caesar salad.


And this is what it looked like after a few days...two slices left for our lunches tomorrow.

Surprise over, all we're left with is yummy carrot cake and lemony buttercream.
Happy birthday to Richard!
