Yes, I've been absent here for a little bit. Life got crazy! There was preparations for Ashley's wedding, getting things squared away at the bakery before I left, then leaving and the chaos of bridesmaid's duties/cake making/and one of the most beautiful and emotional weddings I have ever been a part of. If you will forgive my lack of posts, I will repay you with plenty of new ones!
Admittedly, I have been holding off on posting pictures of Ashley's wedding until her photographer releases hers. I want you to get the full effect of that day and not taint your visuals with my cell phone shots. For teasers of what you are in for, visit www.amandakphotoart.com. I was in awe of photographer Amanda's energy - she's just a little thing, running around setting up shots, directing people, capturing details. From mid morning until the sun went down, I only saw her take a break once!

In other news:
- It's almost July, which means the new Minnesota Brides magazine with my cake in it is coming soon!
- We have 32 weddings on the books this year so far, over halfway to my goal of 50!
- I've been blessed with the opportunity to visit my brother and his wife in Korea this September!

- Mr. Scott's family is coming to visit in August. We will spend a weekend in northern Minnesota, which I have only heard good things about, on Lake Superior. The following week is the State Fair, or "How Much Food on A Stick Can You Eat Week". I need a map and a game plan.
- My dear, dear friend Mallory is engaged to be married next spring. She has requested my cake making services, to which I ecstatically obliged. Mallory and I have been best buddies since 7th grade, making her my oldest friend I still keep in touch with. Together, we've endured bogus boyfriends, fashion faux pas, family drama, every shade of home haircolor, and all the bits in between. What I value most in our friendship is her unconditional love, solid advice, and effortless sense of humor (we did a fair amount of goofing off last week). Sometimes I think Mallory knows me better than I know myself, and she saw me as a pastry chef long before I would accept the title. Crap, I'm getting weepy. Mal, to say I'm happy for you just doesn't cut it. I wish you and Nate all the love, joy, and Red Lobster cheddar biscuits in the world.
