Taysen & her Mommy

Taysen is doing so wonderful; she is so precious. Can't even begin to thank God enough for our precious gift from heaven.

"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations."  Jeremiah 1:5 

Taysen's Arrival

Wow so much has happened in the last 48 hours. After 52 hours of labor, 8 of them very hard, granddaughter Taysen arrived. She weighed 8lbs-8oz. and is 20 in. long. Daughter in law was amazing she was so exhausted yet she just kept going. And by the way my son was a great labor coach. After pushing for 3 hours, Taysen came into this world. There wasn’t a cry and she couldn’t get her breath. They began suctioning her and rubbing on her and told us to talk to her she needed to her our voices. So we began talking to her, then we switched to singing Jesus Loves Me to her. She started taking little shallow breaths and eventually began to breathe normal. Her little body started to pinken up and her cheeks became rosy! She also had a huge hematobin on her head. She is one tough and very precious baby girl.

    During the whole labor process we had an amazing amount of people, most were women from our church family  that were sending out prayer request nonstop for what we needed at that moment. They never left our side, they were available immediately by texting or calling and then they immediately sent the word out to others and sent scripture to handle whatever the situation. Example of one incident: At 4:29 P.M.  almost 10 hours to the minute prior to Taysen being born, I texted Jana and told her Jenn was really tired and Jana’s response “Thanks I’ll rally the troops!!! We’ll hold up their arms!!!” Now how amazing is that?? And by 9:05 P.M. she had quit saying… I can’t do this!! At 11:30 she started pushing and it went on and on… So once again after pushing for 2 hours Jana responded with “Supernatural strength is coming! God will deliver this baby!!!” “He who has started a good work in Taysen is faithful to complete it.” And one of the last sent. “I can only imagine the amount of joy this child will bring to them for they have worked so hard for her. The mercy and loving kindness of the Lord is in proportion to the waiting on Him.” You just cannot imagine how awesome it was having so many sisters in Christ rally for and with us. There were 62 text messages just between Jana and me, so you can only imagine how many went out all together. Until next time, may I just say “What an awesome God we serve”!! Blessings

Still Waiting!

Got a call yesterday morning (Sunday) around 9:00 A.M. from the kids stating that Jenn started having some contractions around 10:30 P.M. Friday night. I went on to church and then after church grabbed some lunch and headed to their house. Labor off and on all day but nothing consistent.  I stayed the night and we went to bed around 11:30 P.M. So here we are today, still waiting for the baby to come and praying that Jenn can get some rest in between contractions. Think I forgot to say that they are having a home birth. And maybe sometime today we will have a baby! I came to work, and it’s so hard being here. I really want to be with them. But first sign of anything major changing they will call and I will be on my way. Just praying that God is preparing Taysen to be getting in the perfect position, so that Jenn can deliver her very soon and not be worn out!

Learning to be patient!

A whole lot has happened this past 7 months since my last post. I actually started a new job that I really love; it also came with some wonderful benefits; so I am no longer doing an in home bakery business. Thank you so much to everyone that ordered from me! However, I will still be doing a lot of baking and will be sharing some tasty recipes. But most importantly any day now I will be a grandma (Gramsey) for the first time to a precious granddaughter. Just heard from my son, he and my daughter met with the midwife today and said everything seems fine with baby, but they will do a sonogram tomorrow just to make sure. Daughter is now 12 days past her due date. I am really struggling with the whole waiting thing. But God is in control and He knows best. Wow, can hardly believe Thanksgiving is 3 short weeks from today!!

My kids Tyler & Jenn.... and soon to be granddaughter Taysen!

Dreamsicle Cupcakes

I had a request for cupcakes that would taste like Dreamsicle.  They wanted a dreamsicle and cream cheese flavor so these yummy dreamsicle cakes have dreamsicle and cream cheese flavored icing swired together.  I'm quite proud of how great they tasted and looked!

Double Peanut Butter Chocolate Cupcakes

These are really rich and very delicious. Peanut butter cupcake with a full size reeses peanut butter cup baked in the middle, creamy peanut butter frosting with a bittersweet chocolate ganache drizzled on top.  The owner of the Hair Cabin in NRH put in the first order for these sweet treats. 

It's a Picnic

Want to have a fun picnic with the kiddos or the hubby but don't have time to pack the lunch?  I can do it for you!!  I can do the entire picnic but make sure you also order some of the tastiest and best looking banana puddings EVER!!

Banana Puddings are $5.00 per pint or $3.00 for a half pint... a pint definitely feeds more than 1!!  Probably 3 servings for the smaller appetite or 2 for a larger appetite, even my son didn't eat a whole one!  Of course, you get to keep the jars!

Busy weekend here at Bake My Day

It's been a busy weekend between baking and cooking for my own family and getting my Bake My Day orders in as well.  Did a birthday cake earlier this week, another birthday cake on Tuesday, some Easter cup cakes and some easter cookies!!  Pictures below!!  

I will post a pic of the other cake later, it's on a different SD card.

Cookies and Treats

These are some OLDIES!

These are pictures of a picture since we weren't digital back then, but you get the point!  Oldies but goodies. 

Cakes I have done within the past year or two

I've done these cakes just for friends and family, some of them I tried to make great and some I just slapped together.  So take that into consideration because I promise I can make you a great cake!!  If you have an idea let me know and I'll work on it -- If you're clueless, then let me know the occasion and I'll help you with ideas!
