Then it was get the car cleaned off and hope I could make it out of the driveway to go to work. The plows had gone by while I was out there and the snow was looking very deep. I got in, looked both ways and put my foot down on the gas until I was out on the road. I was very happy that it was a short drive to work. It was nasty out there.
Presley's birthday party was yesterday and they had asked me to make her a smash cake. Well the one I did was a little beyond a smash cake but we don't have small cakes or cake pans so I went with what I had. The theme for her party was "tea party" so I made a teacup from a icecream cone and the handle was part of a cooke
I wasn't sure if I was going to make it to her party. It started at 1 and I worked till 1:30. Then I had to go home, let Gibbs out and change. Also I wasn't sure if I would be able to get in my driveway. I thought I would have to shovel when I got home too. Thankfully my neighbor had been over with his snowblower and cleaned the driveway out for me.
I made it to her party just as she was enjoying her cake. My cell phone takes crappy pictures but here she is.
I promised Gibbs that I would stay home all day long today so no going out anywhere for me. Just as well, it's too cold out there any way.

It is 13 degrees here now! The cake is so beautiful! And it is so creative how you made the teacup!
I found the teacup idea on Pinterest.
I just looked at my phone and it says the current temp is 6 with a real fee of -9. The high is only supposed to be 17
Beautiful cake and I love your cup idea! Presley looks like she's enjoying it.

Good neighbors! (16º here with winds gusting up to 44mph making it a 1º windchill...it never gets this cold here will probably set a record for coldest ever in local history!)
Thanks. I spent way more time on it than I should have but it was a slow day at work so I had the time
Thanks. I had fun coming up with that one.
I know, time sure does fly
It's a good day for staying inside so I'm glad to be hanging out at home too
Thanks. I was glad I got there too. I didn't stay long but at least I made an appearance
Yes, they are. They are keepers.
That low of a temp with gusting winds makes it even worse. It was really windy out there yesterday and it was killer.
Love the smash cake, it has been a tradition in my family since my first birthday.I would have came over and got that snow for you.
What a pretty cake for a tea party:) We have been truly blessed with very little snow this year . . . but then winter is not over.
Wishing you a lovely day.
Connie :)
It was about the same here. I haven't been out except to feed the birds and get the mail. I love her cake, and she is a cutie.
...I remember those kinds of winters & I hated them. Now I complain about too much rain. Lol
She is so adorable. Love the theme AND the marvelous cake.
What a cute cake ! Happy birthday little one.
Yuck about the weather, but I love the cake. Take care and try to stay warm!
is this "what seems like" extra snow common? Or do you just forget about it until the season comes around again?....
Thanks. I'll pass the birthday wishes on to Presley
I agree on the weather Yuck...lol
Yes, the snow is pretty common. Around here you know that sooner or later we're going to get a whole lot of snow dumped on us.
So happy to read you were able to get to Presley's birthday party! She is so cute and the birthday cake you made is very pretty. Hope you and Gibbs are able to keep warm and cozy!
Glad you made it to work and the cake is beautiful. How sweet of your neighbor to blow your driveway. Looks like she enjoyed her cake!
