Dinner with the Fam

Tonight was JP’s Birthday Celebration with his side of the Family. We headed to Max and Ermas (YUM) Even though it was a little bit of a wait it was a good dinner. (We got lots of free apps LOL).

First Freshman Friday!

Ok so it is not really the first freshman Friday but it is the first one that I have been able to attend. With our crazy schedule over the last few weeks, month’s years J I have had to miss a few. But not tonight! I am super excited to get to meet and hang out with the students this year! God has truly blessed us again and again even in the times where it seemed super hard we were able to say thank you and know that he was in control.

Holiday and Chinese Bust

Happy Labor Day! Today was Labor Day and I was able to be in Oxford for the day hanging out with some of the ladies and having lunch with the Married Crew, We decided to go to the new Chinese buffet in town bc they have a great lunch… well on holidays they do not serve lunch only the dinner menu so not the exact plan but it was still good. And tomorrow I will head back to work. But thank you Lord for a day of rest.

Dawn looked gorgeous and in the end of it all they were married Congrats little sister. Please be praying for Dawn and Chad as they begin their journey together as man and wife.

Wedding Cake Time

Today is the day that I get to truly experiment with the 3-tier Rice Crispy Wedding Cake. I have made a few large cakes to get a feel for what I was doing, and since there was no good tutorials online I took lots of pictures and will post my own ‘how to’ here.

First I found 3 boxes of the desired size (I went with a 12x12, 10x10 and 6x6) I would of preferred a 9x9 but I could not find a good one. (Shipping boxes worked really well, I tried to find pretty sturdy ones.)

Then I disassembled the boxes and wrapped with Wax Paper then folded them back up.

Then made multiple batches of Rice Crispy Treats. (I caluclated based on sq in of the cake the number of batches-

Example: 1 standard batch fills a 9x13x2 pan, so that is 234 sq in. ) 

I cut the boxes off of the each cake and removed the wax paper. 

 Inserted 2 skewers so they would stay put when I put them together.

 All three cakes :)

 Then Assembled the cake placing one on top of the other

 Tada...

 Then decorated it(we buttered the ribbon to avoid grease marks).

Finished Product...Love it!!

 Best part might of been the cake cutting lol Chad got a workout.
