foggy fun times!

so this morning my mom needed help with her photoshoot.
so i was obviously happy to do so! but she needed to do some test shots first!
they turned out SO COOL. makes me want to be a photographer. but i'm obviously not passionate enough about it so i wouldn't be as awesome as she is. kind of like my cooking....jk.
i'm super stoked, i have 4 cakes over the next couple of months. the beetlejuice one is what i am really excited for. i already have a zillion-upon-a-million ideas going through my head!

Mr. Sloppy Joe...

Hello all!


So i have learned a few things about myself the past few days...
1.) i am impatient.
2.) i am poor(kind of already knew that)
3.) i don't find joy in the little things anymore....
and so on and so forth! I think i am on the right track to being the true Ciara again, though. Makes me all warm and fuzzy inside! lol..

Today wasn't eventful, till i got off work. I went home and thought i was going to just bake to fill an order. But alas Christina had other plans. We went out to go to the mall to get her some jeans and to the grocery store, but got stuck in traffic for an hour...then i got called for an interview!!! And.....


Nailed it!

So i am now a personal assistant/insurance agent's assistant. I have the hugest, largest, most ginormous load lifted off of my back! God is soo good to me.

I thought i would share what i made for dinner tonight and a good lil pic of the cookies i made! :)



Sloppy Joes :) the best non-burger out there!!!


cranberry cookies....without white chocolate drizzle! lol



my poochie at the end of a long day of deciding she didn't need to pee outside.....oh doggy.

A new beginning


Hello all!

I don't know who reads this or...if anybody cares...but i am going to start putting everything in life on here. We'll see where this takes me! I met a fantabulous boy who makes life seem special again.
i have a best friend to challenge all best friends!



I have the worlds most amazing yorkie, audrey.


And my family just simply rocks!

Tonight is fried chicken and rice night. mmm haha. Nothing like fattening food, right?
Speaking of which...i should probably attend to it, huh?

life's many pleasures

Hi guys. i haven't blogged in ages but i thought i would update everything now haha.
so i got a birthday cake this past weekend and i thought i would share the pictures with you. it was for this very lovely lady, Rhonda, she was turning 60! such a lovely lady. Ended up that she matched her cake because her two favorite colors are red and orange! I had allot of fun doing it and surprisingly it turned out better than i thought it would.






xoxo Ciara

The start of Delica-Ci's

Ever since i got home from the great CA I have been attempting to get my business started! I did get one order for a cake, but it sadly got cancelled. There will be more, I know it!

The very first week getting back I started my sister, Christina's, birthday cake!
That was an absolute blast. It was my very first Ciara-cake. All my own design.
The thursday before I left, i got the priviledge of staying late after work and sculpting with Lindsey Sinatra! Oh that was fun.

The finished product was a ton of abstract peacock feathers and a white chocolate clay peacock! The feathers got painted at home. My mom got to learn allot in doing that.


The fillings of the white cake were: White chocolate mousse, Raspberry mousse and Vanilla Bean Buttercream. I was so happy that it was a hit! It makes me so happy when my food makes people happy!



I will continue to attempt my hand at building business and creating deliciousness!
Ciao Bella!

Things I have laerned:
1.) There is no place like home
2.) Being welcomed home by three yorkies might possibly be the best welcome
3.) Rain is a good thing
4.) It is simply very difficult to do cakes without a turntable!
5.) Believing in yourself and having confidence is crucial!
6.) God owns my future so i don't need to worry about it, He IS all powerful
7.) Happy dances in the kitchen with your sisters..are the best dances ever
8.) Careful when using cheese graters, pay attention :)
9.) Grease stripper will give you chemical burns that last forever
10.) Running feels amazing!

FUN FACT #22: When you make tea, don't put your cream in before your tea is done steaping....the fat from the cream seals the pores or something in the tea leaves...hence why they will not continue to steap! :)
