Pink Purse Cake

So here are a few pics of my latest cake I was able to make. I was talking to a lady in my ward one Sunday and she was telling me that her daughter wanted a pink cake and she didn't know what to do with that and since I was doodling cakes I came up with a pink purse so she let me make it. I looked online for the basic shape and saw the idea for the shoe and thought it was pretty cute so I made one of those out of fondant to go with the pink purse cake. There are definitely flaws so don't look to closely but I am pretty proud of it being my first time ever making a 3d sculpted type cake.

Ellie reading a card from grandma and grandpa Bennett...
"The card says, Happy Birthday Little Elliette; and the money says Don't touch my money."

Lindsay and her family stopped by on their way to Provo and we all went to lunch on the way home this was our conversation...
Ellie: She isn't cool.
Me: You don't like Lindsay?
Ellie: No, I like her, she just isn't cool.

Ellie wasn't going to be so I was telling her I didn't want to see her until after her nap. After a few minutes upstairs I hear little feet on the stairs and mumbling of "I do not like mom, nope. no I do not like her"
I thought she wasn't supposed to start not liking me until she was a lot older.

Camryn was squealing very high pitched the other day and Justin thought it was Ellie and her told her to stop. I informed him it was Cami so he told her to stop squealing like that. Since she doesn't really speak much she looked at him with a pretty stern annoyed look and pointed at the stairs so Justin said "fine I'll leave" and went downstairs for a bit. I was trying very hard to hold in my laughter.

My mom was cleaning the bathrooms, she came out into the kitchen for something and noticed that Ellie did not follow and was being very quiet. She found her in the bathroom with a bar of soap in her hand which she was rubbing all over the wood on the side of the cabinets, Ellie looked up all proud and happy and said "I'm cleaning Grandma".

Cami was getting in trouble for climbing up on the counter, a few minutes later Ellie climbed up on the counter and Camryn came running into the family room and pointed over at the kitchen yelling "a dah, a dah" (yeah she still doesn't really speak) trying to get Ellie in trouble for being up on the counter also.

Ellie, for some reason, thinks that monkeys live in the fireplace and whenever anything is missing she informs us that the monkeys took it. She will then go to the fireplace and tell them to give it back. When we find it she makes sure to thank the monkeys.

I was asking Ellie how old she was, she told me 2 so I asked how old I was and she said 5. I told her I was 28 and then asked how old daddy was, she said 80.

Elliette was running around playing when she came in kind of concerned and said "my poopies are really stuck"

10/2010
Elliette bonked Camryn on the head the other day so she got in trouble and had to sit in Time-Out and tell Cami sorry. Ellie is SUPER stubborn and kept saying she was tired and refused to say sorry. Finally Justin helped her sign it and I asked if she said it when she cried "No, I not saying it" so she had to stay in TO. This lasted for like 20 min when she finally yelled out "sorry, Cami, sorry" so that she could go take a nap. Stubborn little bugger.

Elliette was being a stinker the other day trying to get into a candy jar using a stuffed dogs to do her bidding. I got after her and told her to sit in time-out; instead she put her puppy in time-out and told him to put on his listening ears and be a happy good puppy. About 5 min later he was back being bad so she put him in TO again and found out he was being bad cause he was hungry so they got to share fruit snacks. The puppy was being a stinker again about 15 min later and I didn't have to tell her anything, she promptly put him in TO and told him he had to listen at grandmas house. Silly girl.

Elliette plays on Beanies IPod touch and I asked her one day what she was doing. She answered by telling me "facebook", what?

8/2010
Elliette LOVES Mickey Mouse Clubhouse (so much that she throws major fits when I wont let her watch anymore) whenever Mickey and the gang need help they call for toodles. The other day I heard Ellie ask for help then I heard her say "Oh, Toodles".

Clover was cooing and talking to Mandy; Elliette looked at Clover and said "you talking to me?"

7/23/2010
Elliette asked for her own phone today so that she could call daddy, beanie, and grandpa. She even specified cell phone after I asked what phone, yeah she isn't even 2 yet.

7/12/2010
While I was holding Elliette Justin put his hand on my shoulder today and asked if I was ok; Elliette promptly turned and put her hand on my should and asked "you ok?"

Elliette is normally pretty good at asking for a tissue if needed, the other day she handed my mom something and said "nose", yup she picked her nose and handed it to grandma - so gross!

We were looking at newborn zip up ties at a boutique and I asked Elliette if she thought they were cute. She responded "yeah, cute for my daddy".

6/2010
Elliette: crying for her daddy in bed after waking up in the morning.
Me: "It isn't daddy but is it ok if mommy gets you out"?
Elliette: not fully pleased "yeah, I guess".

5/2010
My mom and Angie were looking at a Family Fun magazine with Elliette. When chicken nuggets were mentioned Ellie said "those are good". Sh'e also noticed some cookies decorated like pigs and for the next week anytime you asked her what she wanted to eat she said pigs; we finally broke down and made her some pigs.

I had The Price is Right on while I was doing the dishes, they were giving away a trip to wine country and some other stuff and I hear Elliette mumble something I look up just in time to see her pump her arms and say "weet" and then continue to stare at the show.

pumping her arms and saying "weet" is now what she does for pretty much anything she is really excited for. Love it!

4/2010
I was watching The Price is Right and was just calling out a number when Elliette piped up and said "two, two", she was right.
We had on Let's Make a Deal another time and Ellie started calling out for curtain number 2, she would have won a pretty good prized.
Point: If you go to a game show take Ellie, she is good.

I put Elliette in time-out twice since she just got up and went about her business which made her super sad. She cried for a while as I was trying to talk to her about her time-out situation. She was hugging me for about 3-5 minutes and eventually pulled off looked at me with a smile and said "I'm alright" then gave me a kiss and was on her merry way.

Camryn: crying in the other room
Me: Camryn is sad
Elliette: she sad
Me: Why is she sad?
Elliette: throwing her arms out with a confused look and a silly grin "I don't know why she sad"
