Birthday & Baby Shower

This month was my birthday. For my birthday David & I went out with friends to Texas Roadhouse. It was SO yummy! Of course, I had to be embarrassed!

Also, This week I went back to work at a new company. I am doing the same thing as I was before and I don't mind going to work at this location. I have multiple friends who had already made the change to this company. It was a good first week and I am far happier then I ever was at my last job.
Along with starting my new job this week, my best friend, T, and I put on a baby shower Friday evening for one of our husbands co-workers wife. We had planned it out all nicely and had picked up a key for the community center. It was going to be at a nice location. Well, we got a phone call from David at 4 asking if we could move the location of the baby shower to the toys for tots warehouse. (The husbands were invited to come) T and I made last minute changes while all the husbands called their wives to let them know we had changed the location. T and I made do in the ugly, nasty, warehouse (that is condemned!). We moved tables around and T went to Dollar Tree that week and had gotten table cloths and plates and everything we needed. T, was amazing and did tons for the baby shower! She made cupcakes, and these super yummy croissant things that had whip cream, cream cheese, and fruit in it. She also made these yummy sugar cookies with m&m's in the bag for the goodies bag.
I made a veggie platter and bought a meat platter and made another fondant cake. This time, I made the fondant from scratch! It was a few days process. Tuesday night, I made a red velvet cake. Wednesday night, I made the fondant with mini marshmallows, powder sugar, vanilla, and a little milk. The frosting recipe is really good. Thursday, I assembled the cake with my mom's frosting and the fondant. I then took some remaining fondant and tried to dye the color black with food coloring. For some reason, it turned more purplish, even though I was using the black food coloring. I then made the cake a zebra cake. I then put some little rubber animals on top. The cake wasn't perfect, but I thought it looked really good for my 2nd fondant cake, 1st one on my own!
