Jinxed!

I think I jinxed the weather by calling my last blog post “Hoping for an Indian Summer”, because this weekend the rain arrived in Vancouver! Everyone likes to say that all it does is rain here, but that’s really not true, yes it does rain, but not every day for the entire year, although this past spring lasted a little too long for my liking. But the rain is what keeps our city looking lush and green, and thinking negatively about the rain isn’t going to help anything, except guarantee you a depressing fall/winter and who wants that?!?!

The upside to rain this weekend meant that I wasn’t missing any sunshine by being inside making cakes J

Friday I actually had the day off work from my full time job and headed to Granville Island for a photo walk. My mom and step dad (Denis) purchased a Groupon for me for Christmas and so Denis and I decided to redeem our Groupons on Friday, since he was on holidays and all of her weekend sessions were booked up through to November; of course. I found it very helpful since my photography knowledge is quite low; I can’t wait to have some free time to practice. Here are a few shots I took; practicing light painting.

Friday night, Saturday and Sunday morning was filled with cake/cupcake decorating! Started the weekend with Birthday Cupcakes (which I forgot to snap a photo of :S)

Then a Lobster cupcake cake

A wedding of assorted cupcakes and cake topper

Some Sunflower topped cupcakes

A massive baby shower cake

And last but not least a hockey stick cake

I hope you all found some time to cozy up on the couch with a good movie or TV show and enjoy the rainy weekend.

And it wouldn’t be a Cakelicious Blog post without a photo of Hank!!! He wanted to come shopping this weekend, he’s saying “look mom I can fit in the bag, this means I can come right?!”
