I don’t know where last week went! I blinked and here we are back at Monday again! I WILL do the Halloween post this week still. Sorry about that…

This weekend I made an adorable Mermaid cake for one of our friend’s daughters who is turning 7 tomorrow. She had no opinion on it–I basically just made it for fun and asker her what her favorite color was (gold!) and then went off of that. Frosting a cake in gold is pretty tricky, so I decided to just make the focal point gold. 😉

I think it turned out super fun!

The mermaid tail is a paper plate cut and white frosting smoothed over it then sprinkled in edible gold. It was delightfully sparkly, but you can’t really capture that in pictures…

She really liked it.

Weight Check-in: I lost another 2 pounds this week bringing me firmly into the 180’s (187 to be exact)! I’m pretty stoked about that. And Tim is into his off-season and starting to make healthier food choices, so it’s starting to get more fun being able to eat healthy together. My chain is ever so slowly shrinking!
