As some of you know, I love to bake and have a blog where I post things I make. I actually haven't posted much to it since I got pregnant, but here is the link if anyone is interested: Baking Away

Anyway, I think today may have been my last hurrah. This body can't take all that time on my feet anymore! I made this cake for our 4th of July cookout tomorrow. It took me all day between the baking, cooling, first layer of icing, and decorating! My family better enjoy it because it's the last cake I'll be making for quite awhile!



Here's what the inside looks like (before adding icing to outside)

Wow Lauren that's awesome!!! looks sooooooooo yummy! send me some! I'm sure your family will understand and that's smart of you to put it on hold for a bit. Take it easy, relax and enjoy yourself, not much longer till lil boy arrives! (can't wait to find out his name )

It looks great, the inside will be a great surprise!

I have finally got Ana trained in baking, she sits in her highchair whilst i bake. (I do have to do silly dances etc to keep her occupied, but I missed baking!)

That looks so beautiful and yummy Lauren! You are talented! Thanks for posting your baking blog! That is awesome! I don't bake much but through together a little pie for the 4th which my sweet tooth was very happy about. It's a messy pie but we all demolished it pretty quickly! Hehe!



I'm with you on the feet part.... I kept having to sit down but then again I made alot of stuff for our BBQ the next day.

ps. - I LOVE LOVE LOVE your picture on your Blog! You are just radiant!
