Valentine's Day Dessert

Look at this beauty with layers of brownie, chocolate mousse and raspberry mousse.  Definitely lots of work but delicious!

PJ Masks Party

Calla requested a PJ Masks party based on her current favorite show.  We had fun being super heroes and playing Pin The Mask on SuperCalla, bean bag toss, doing the freeze dance and decorating superhero masks and wristbands.  The birthday girl was inspired by her Auntie's baby shower and choose donuts for her party dessert.

Cooking Party

Ian requested a cooking party for his 8th birthday!  Each guest made pizzas and decorated their own cupcake.  We also played "Pin the Mustache On The Chef" and bean bag toss.

Baby Shower

Uncle Brian & Aunt Anna are having a baby!  We took the shower on the road and borrowed a home from one of Anna's friends.  It required a bit more coordination and an intense blitz of decorating upon arrival but all in all it was a great time.

 "Spa in a jar" prizes for the games

 The mama-to-be wanted donuts for dessert!

 Work-in-progress while I run out for more duck tape.

Around the world and back again

I had the good fortune (?) of traveling to Tokyo, Shanghai, Amsterdam and home in the span of two weeks.  It was a lesson in packing, cultures, endurance and jet lag!  I spent essentially 2 days in each location locked in a room conducting training sessions before jumping on a plane and going to the next stop.  Efficient but not exactly fun.  I was treated to a lovely meal with great people in each location which got me out of the hotel/office.  All in all, it went more smoothly than expected!
