Miss Mamie's Cupcakes, Cakes and Such - Happiness Baked Daily

Campbell Brown is turning 2 today!  Campbell and her parents, Jeff and Amy, used to live across the street from Steve and Marcia.  Josie used to babysit for Campbell when she was just a baby, and I was lucky enough to make Campbell’s first birthday cake!  This year, Jeff came in with Campbell’s party dress and wanted something to “match” or “go along” with it.  I put my thinking cap on and came up with something as “sweet” and “dainty” as the Birthday girl herself.  I feel honored to be a part of Campbell’s milestones and hope to continue watching her grow over the years.  So here is the party girl with her cake!  HAPPY BIRTHDAY CAMPBELL!!!

I found this picture and had to post it!  This is my Grandmother Doris Ross…we call her Memere.  She is the mother of 11 children including my mom Betsy (Ross) Doyle, the Grandmother of twenty grandchildren, and the Great Grandmother to 14 great grandchildren!  Needless to say she is much loved and the backbone of our very busy family.  She is the reason we all stay connected.   I adore this photo and am thinking it would look very nice framed and hanging in Miss Mamie’s somewhere.  Isn’t she beautiful?!  I bet Pepere felt like one lucky dude to have these girls waiting at home at the end of the day!

So for Christmas this year I decided to “regift” one of my Kitchen Aid mixers to Josie so she could bake things at home.  I knew that the plain old white mixer simply would not do….so I remade it!  It took several trips to WalMart and Home Depot,  some online research,  a bag of steel wool, and several prayers and wishes.  I was pretty excited about the end product and Josie was thrilled with it!  So if you have and old Kitchen Aid at home that needs a facelift all you need is:

1.Steel Wool

2. Kilz Spraypaint Primer

3. Whatever spraypaint color you want as a background.

4. Paint pens to draw a design (found in the craft section).

5. A glossy spray can sealer.

If you have any questions give me a call and I’ll walk you through it!
