Aprons.... Yes, a Bit Random

So, do you guys remember my multiple personalities post? Well, I'm here today to delve a little deeper into the "Bree" side of me.

We're going to be talking about aprons. Yes, I said aprons. I have an unhealthy obsession with aprons. Fortunately, I have the will power to not buy them often, because well. that's just not practical. I have a sweet cousin who found three vintage ones while thrifting and gifted them to me. Josh bought me one for my birthday a few years ago, and it's my go-to apron.

Now, it's definitely cheaper to sew your own, (and I WILL find the time to do so eventually) but since time is an issue for a lot of us, I'm going to introduce you to a wonderful website called Flirty Aprons.  (This is not sponsored, I just love this site!) I forget where I stumbled upon them, but I'm glad I did! They have vintage looking aprons that are incredibly durable. I've had mine for three years and it's been put through a lot! Holidays, birthdays, cleaning, bbqs, you name it, it's been through it. Not to mention it's been washed often and has held up with no problems.

You should probably read the washing instructions. Instructions are something I'm not good at.

Here are a few of my favorite styles they offer. They also offer men's and children's aprons as well.

I just love these country looking ones!

This is the one that Josh got me!

And I believe Miss Sofia needs this one! How cute is that?!

So, there you have it. Some awesome aprons.
Enjoy!

Rainbow Brite Cake

So, when my sister's birthday rolls around, I like to do "throwback" cakes for her. This last year, I decided to do a Rainbow Brite cake with Twink on it.

First, I found this recipe. I followed it straight through. I rolled out pre-made colored fondant and cut out stars. I twisted the rest of the leftover  fondant into a long string and used it as a bottom border.

Next, I took Rice Krispies Treats and rolled a big ball. I stuck a smaller ball on top of that and put a dowel through both of them. then I made the arms and legs, covered them in the fondant and stuck them to the cake using long toothpicks. I found some star candles at Wal-Mart and used those as his headpiece. Finally, I "starred" the icing all over him, and then I stuck the larger dowel deep in the cake to ensure he stayed put.

It was a fun cake to make. I'm thinking of doing a Strawberry Shortcake cake for my daughter's first birthday in May.

 Happy Eating!
