Oreo cookie

I actually have a different idea for this Oreo cake... one that involves a slab of ice cream as the middle layer. Of course it would have to be assembled by the person who orders it because if I assemble it and put it in the freezer, the fondant will freeze rock hard. :) And I mean rock hard, don't drop it on any toes.
So this cake was made with an 8 inch round pan cut in half for the cookie, and a 6 inch round pan for the center. I debated on whether to brace it or not. (bracing is using cardboard cake rounds and wooden dowels to keep the cake from sinking on under it's own stacked up weight, the dowels actually hold the weight under the cardboard. Need a better description? I sure would. Look here, it even has pictures). I wondered, where it wasn't the usual looking layered cake, and was acting more as a whole cake, if the cardboard would ruin the effect of having it be a whole cookie, so I opted to not brace it, allowing the cake to be cut as a whole. The outcome? Slightly tilted, but it held just fine.

Rock N' Roll Bedroom

The "before" pictures of this room are gone, lost with a memory card that I can't find. It was a plain white bedroom with nothing in it but a long desk attached to the wall and a foozball table. We removed the foozball table, took the three girls to the store where they picked out this lovely mint green that we were a bit uncertain about and we started painting. I think the green turned out awesom. They wanted a music theme, which, after painting and finding wall accessories turned more into a rock n' roll theme, but that's basically the same thing, right? I had an idea to trace them onto the wall and this is what I finally ended up with: My man was amazing and built a triple bunkbed onto a wall for them, incorporating dressers. We were trying to fit all the necessities in with out taking to much space away from them. I think we did a good job, and the girls love it. That's all that really matters.
