This weekend came and went so fast! I had a lot going on, but it was all really fun. I had a cake tasting this weekend! Friday night was spent mixing, baking, filling, and frosting! I used my new fabulous kitchen aid for the first time and it was like heaven! I can’t even describe how amazing it is! It makes things so much easier and faster. And, it’s red! My original plan was to bake the cakes on Friday and then finish them Saturday morning. Well, I ended up being wide awake around midnight so I decided to just finish everything that night. I didn’t crawl into bed until 4:30. But it was nice knowing they were done and I didn’t have to worry about them anymore.
Isn’t she beautiful?I thought it was fun the batter matches!
Saturday Ben and I went Rock Creek Pumpkin Patch up in Broomfield.When I was out in San Diego I went to a pumpkin patch with my sister and brother-in-law and had a lot of fun!Let me just say pumpkin patches in Colorado are A LOT different than patches in California.In Cali, the “patch” was a little square plot with only a few pumpkins in it but most of the pumpkins were inside the barn displayed in bins and hay bales.At this pumpkin patch they had fields and fields of pumpkins!Some were still on the vines.They had a corn maze and a hay bale maze for little kids.

That night we met up with my parents to go to dinner to celebrate my mom’s birthday.We went to Bennihanas.It was delicious!
My camera has started taking blurry pictures, but here we are!
Sunday was my cake tasting!We had 3 different cakes, all chosen by the bride to be.I had them pre-sliced and ready to go!
Marble cake with key lime frosting; devil’s food with apricot filling and cream cheese frosting; and red velvet cake with white chocolate mousse and whipped chocolate frosting
That night Ben and I carved our pumpkins.I love carving pumpkins!It brings back such good childhood memories.And, I even like digging out the guts.Weird, I know.
I bet your cakes were so yummy. I'm so glad you got a kitchen aid too!! 4:30 AM? What? Why didn't I see that kind of energy from you when you were out here? :)
That pumpkin patch in CO is way better!!! ..did you know Casey worked at a pumpkin patch like that when he was a kid?
Bennihanas sounds yummy...but what the heck is wrong with your camera? That sucks!
