On Holiday

Sorry for my reckless abandonment of this blog. I've been unquestionably distracted on vacation with my family. I must say being snowed in every day has been mesmerizing and relaxing and really I've just enjoyed playing around and goofing off with my family. It will be tough to go home.

Ice skating  for the first time in years!

My sisters and I have silly down to a science.

Nothing is cuter than marshmallow snow clothes except of course Lo Lo's new scrunched up face smile.

Opposition wears red boots

... and a bow. Opposition likes to undo anything I do. Opposition likes to take out anything that has been put away. Opposition likes to scribble on my invoices. Opposition likes to dump out bags of buttons. Opposition likes to scout out candy in my desk. Opposition likes to squish her finger through my chap stick. Opposition likes to type on my computer. Opposition likes to sit in my lap while I sew. Opposition leaves her care bears on my floor. Opposition likes to play on my ipad when I'm not looking. But doesn't Opposition look adorable in a dress?


Photobucket


London (currently known as Opposition) is opposed to all things Whippy Cake or at least she is determined to sabotage all things Whippy Cake. She sure is adorable while she is doing it though. It's hard to get frustrated even if she is a force to be reckoned with.

Patched up Heart.

I was honored the girls from St. Josephs Hospital asked me to make the charms and necklaces for the Complex Congenital Heart Infant Evaluation and Follow-up (CHIEF) graduation again this year. The adorable little babies go through so much with their heart surgeries and recovery and it's such an exciting thing for them to be able to graduate. I designed the handmade "bandaged heart" charms to remind them of their triumph over their struggles and it's something that the moms and patience can share in common. It's always such a blessing to be a part of something like this (even though my part is microscopic) it gives me the opportunity to realize how blessed I am in life and of course how precious life itself is.

My BIG Surprise

 A few moths ago I called a family friend of ours and he and I started working together on a project I am incredibly excited about. Jake Clark is in the business of filming and I am tickled pink (do people even say that anymore?) that he is partnering up with Whippy Cake. Jake will officially be taking over filming our video tutorials (there, there icam, don't take it personal). As much as I love recording my hair tutorials by myself on my computer with only one angle in my studio with bad lighting I just felt that my video tutorials were lacking. Over the last few months I have been pouring all my ideas and thoughts into a folder, just saving them for the right time when Jake and I could get the ball rolling. (Sorry for holding out on you, hopefully you will forgive me when you see the new set of videos.) The time has finally come and we decided to kick off the new upcoming videos with a video promo of my 2011 collection. Holla! I begged Sierra to come back on set to model for us once again. I got to see a few peaks of the video and I am seriously going to blow a gasgut from excitement.

Photobucket

I just thought I would leak some pictures and some info so that I am not the only one out of my mind with anticipation. I will be posting more information and details once we get closer to posting our new set of video tutorials. It's going to be COLOSSAL!!!

Can you blame me?

I know a lot of people are disappointed we closed up shop so early. I'm super sorry for any of you who  didn't get to purchase from our fall collection. The holidays are always a treacherous time for business owners especially right around Christmas because of the mass amount of Christmas orders. I might be the only one working till all obscene hours of the night and missing out on Ugly Sweater holiday parties. I do my best to stay ahead of the game am usually drowning in work. Sometimes I wish I could curl up with some hot chocolate and watch Christmas movies with my family or go drive around town and look at Christmas lights instead of what I am usually doing.

I knew if I didn't close soon enough I wouldn't give myself enough time to actually take a vacation and spend some free time with my amazing and supportive family. Can you blame me? They are pretty adorable after all. I want to apologize in advance for using sweet and precious pictures of my kids to butter you up. Hopefully it's working and you will forget all about the fact that we are closed ;) Did I mention how awesome our next collection is going to be?

Small Business Model

Occasionally  I like to talk about Infusionsoft. It's hard not to bring it up every now and then because Whippy Cake is entirely dependent on Infusion's small business software. We use it for everything! It makes me happy. The boss just sent me this video today about Infusionsoft's work environment. I've always appreciated and admired the company's ability to have fun and be creative. It's such a great example of what I hope to achieve some day and a fabulous reminder of what's important. I wouldn't mind working there one bit!!!



I spy a few of my friends in this video. [Jessi, you adorable darling!]

In my boots

When am I not in my boots? Almost never. The Boss doesn't mind so much except when I wear them in bed. Mostly I wear them with my jammies and my hooded sweater jacket when I am working. When I know people are coming over I try to slip into some socially acceptable clothes. People come over unexpectedly all the time so you have probably witnessed the coolness of my over sized J's. No shame or anything :{


Me and the kids have a bit of a slipper fetish.  All 3 of us like to wear slippers and we each have at least 3 pair and what better to wear with slippers than jammies? The Boss is slowly getting used to the fact that it's not going to change around here anytime soon.

What are your guilty comfort clothes?

Overwhelemed by LOVE....



We have been completely OVERWHELMED by the LOVE we have felt from the response to our POST last week, asking for your candidates to be pampered for a day.
So let us say a big heart felt "THANK YOU" You did NOT disappoint! We should have known better, you all are so amazing and have the biggest hearts.... Seriously, we have been inundated by letters about the amazing people who have been beyond selfless, they are courageous, and dare we say these ladies are Hero's..
O my Heck! we have been on an emotional RoLlErCoAsTeR, we have felt incredible JOY at the humanity, displayed. And we have shed many a tear while reading about these remarkable women who are Hero's in the lives of the people they touch. I am emotional right now thinking about the fact that we can only pick one... This has been a very difficult, and heart wrenching task, having to narrow it down to one special person... We are soo very humbled by these stories, we want to take care of every single lady! Becki and our little Whippy Cake team can only do so much.....


We have an IDEA!!!


Now, we obviously can't devote a whole day to each candidate, but we would like to spread a little love to each one...
Here is what we are asking for... We know that many of you are creative, and have mad skills, if you would like to donate some of your time, like styling someones hair, or creating a piece of jewelery, or gift for a Mommy in need, or giving a gift certificate to your Shop, or even from your favorite vendor, we would LOVE to mention your generosity and in the Spirit of Christmas give each lady some JOY! I have goosebumps just thinking about it!! We know that you already are very generous and busy taking care of others...
But just imagine, if you were to help, by giving a little more to these phenomenal people that you may or may not know, we could create a

LALAPALOOZA of LOVE!!

A Merry MOB.....

We liked this, because it was different from the DANCE Flash Mob's we've seen before... Don't get me wrong we LOVE the DANCE, but this one took us to a different place, and I'm sure the lucky shoppers had to rub their arms to keep the goosebumps at bay... I hope we can all slow down and take a minute or two to remember WHY we are celebrating!



We are so blessed....

Hallelujah!
 
ps. we forgot to mention that Bret sent me this video knowing my obsession with youtube videos and my weird love for flash mobs. Thanks baby!

2. My master bedroom painted. It's become the dump zone in our house and I want it to be the escape zone.

















3. Budgies! The cutest little mimicking birds ever.




4. This hair cut. I dream of not having to style my own hair.














5. Just Dance 2 for the Wii. I got a taste of Just Dance at my sisters house and I LOVE it! I predict a dance party at my house?

A CDMA Verizon capable white 4G iphone. Needs no explaining. It's just time for it to happen STEVE!!!






8. This utterly breath taking art print by Leigh Viner.



9.

I'm dreaming of a Whippy Christmas

I wrote you a Christmas song for the holidays because I love you and I wanted to do something special. 

I'm dreaming of a Whippy Christmas
Just like the ones that make you stare
Where the buttons glisten
and children listen
to compliments about their mother's hai

 
I'm dreaming of a Whippy Christmas
with all the colors that are right
May your hair be pretty with height
and may all your accessories be bright

and may ALLLLLLL your accessories be BRRRRRRRRRIGHT!


 Don't worry, as good as my lyrics are I'm not considering making a career change anytime soon. I will be sticking to designing more Whippy Cake... like right now... as I type this. I am multitasking. Designing and typing. That's what I do. And I dance too, if you can believe it. I could be dancing right now, and typing, and designing. Get over it.

mine all mine

Yesterday I failed to post a thought of gratitude because I was with my family. My family is the greatest thing I have to be thankful for. I'm Thankful my husband puts up with me and all my madness. I'm thankful we have two perfect, beautiful kids. I'm thankful  I get to be their mom and that I was able to experience the awesome and unforgettable moments of pregnancy.  I'm thankful I get to learn from my toddlers every day. I'm thankful that each day is a new day for me to try and be a better wife no matter how many times I  fail. I'm thankful the boss is such and awesome daddy and that the babies love him so. I'm thankful the boss is wanting another baby already. I'm thankful for the holidays that bring families closer together. I'm thankful I had a moment to think about how blessed I am to have my precious family. I love them so so so so so so so so soooooo so so sooo so so sooo soo much!!!! I just feel happy.

 ps. I'm also thankful to Sierra Studios for doing our family photos this year, regardless of how terrifying we truly were. She somehow was able to pull us together perfectly in our photos. Talent!

No Cake without You

When the day is done and I look back on all that has been accomplished the credit is almost always due to my Whippy Cake girls. I have the best team of ladies dominating Whippy Cake from home in their own special way. Each girl brings so much to the table and helps out in so many ways it's hard to imagine I ever survived without them... Who am I kidding!?!? I WASN'T surviving without them!

At this time of year during the thought provoking moments of gratitude I absolutely MUST give thanks for these ladies and express my gratitude to them. Although I am absolutely terrible and awkward at being sentimental the least I can do is try.

Photobucket

Wendy- My right hand. My brain is mush without you and my heart is full because of you. How much  there is to learn from you and how blessed I  am to know you. Thanks for always bringing me back around to what is important and for sharing my burdens.

Carli- (my sister) thanks for always being willing to share the stress with me and for always responding to my picture messages and my late night ideas via text and for quitting soda w/ me and then un-quitting soda with me over and over again. You have so sweetly taken on so many roles.

Aubrey- (my other sister) aka - the machine! Nobody dominates like you do and you have rescued me more times than any sister deserves. Thanks for your pep talks and for always keeping me pointed in the right direction.

Lorna- The girl who needs no training. Thank you for being so talented and available and for thriving the way you do. Your optimism astounds me and your perseverance moves me to tears.


Katie- My personal suggestion box. Thank you for your peppy and fun pace and for always being willing to do more at the drop of a hat. You're a fountain of ideas and always anxious to help with anything!


Kelseigh- The only thing sweeter than cake is you. Thank you for being the most dainty and feminine thing a girl can be. Your sweetness and romantic style inspires me time and again and your help is so important to me. 

I could honestly go on and on about all the things you each help me with and all the wonderful things I love about each of you. I have a feeling I have only glimpsed a small portion of how fortunate I am to have the help of all of you. 

To all you Cake Lovers out there who can't live without your Whippy fix I want you to know that without these girls there would be NO CAKE! Gasp!!! It's true, which is why we should all express how thankful we are to the Whippy Cake Bakers.

Hugs and Kisses girls!

We are THANKFUL for MIRACLES!

Who could forget this little guy?


I want to start out by saying that, I KNOW that our Heavenly Father is the reason why Emmett is healing, and that Prayer and Faith do indeed work! Every time I went into his ICU room, there was an actual physical feeling that came over me.. A feeling of deep peace, like you could just sit there all day. I would cry on the way home from my visits with Emmett and Karla, because that feeling was soo profound! And the minute I left his room I could feel the stark difference. The last time it happened I called Karla, from the parking lot crying like a little baby.. She said that other's, and even the Nursing staff had noticed this feeling as well. All I can say, is that Emmett must have some important work to do here!




Emmett



is HOME!!!


He is a Miracle! From before he was born this little guy has had to fight to be here. We have been watching in awe... Emmett came home this last weekend and even all of his Surgeons, and specialist were shaking their heads in disbelief. Amazed that not only did he survive, but he has (in record time) recovered enough to be home with his family. YES! Emmett is home!


Karla, Michael, and his big brother Ethan would like to thank everyone who prayed for him and their Family, they believe with their whole hearts that FAITH and PRAYER is why he is home today. I got to hear Emmett's raspy little voice this morning, and I couldn't stop the tears!


He still has a long road ahead, but he is up for it! He has occupational, and physical therapy daily, and a special Nurse comes to him once a week. Karla has become his secretary and chauffeur, she said she scheduled 8 appointments for him yesterday. They were with all of his Surgeons, and Specialists, to keep a close eye on him. He is a very important guy!


For now Emmett still has his Esophageal Ostomy, and his feeding tube... Eventually he will have a few more surgeries to reconnect everything. And then after his esophagus remembers how to work he will get his feeding tube out. But don't worry all that isn't getting them down, they are just feeling so utterly blessed to still have him, and in his own bed no less.


You can go HERE for Karla's update.


One last thing... Karla found comfort in this song...it is a beautiful song, and said exactly what she has been feeling. GODSPEED ~ Listen if you have a few extra minutes...

Go Emmett GO!


Godspeed....

A scheduling UPDATE....

In Honor of Cyber Monday {the busiest on-line shopping day of the year} we will be extending our closing date through Monday November 29th. Yes! a few more days to shop;)


So PEEPS that will be your last chance to shop for Whippy Cake this year! We thought about it and decided that you all might be OUT shopping on this crazy Friday shopping Holiday! In other words; Black Friday will NOT be our last day open, like we originally said.
Just in case any of you can relate to this picture.



Also This Wednesday the 24th will be the last Wednesday for Shopping at Miss Becki's Studio....SOOO if you would like some cake, including our "Christmas Applique's" and other "Limited Edition" pieces this would be your LAST chance.
Shoot me an e-mail and I will HOOK you UP!

Thankful for a SWEET giveaway!



Our Giveaway today comes to us from the Delectable




Can I get a YIPPEEEE! Let me tell ya, if you have not yet had the GOOD fortune of sampling one of these melt-in-your-mouth confections you are missing out! My mouth is watering at the memory...




Beauty..



We were lucky enough to experience Modern Cupcake a few weeks ago at The Believe boutique, and it is something that I won't soon forget... I (Wendy) am a pretty picky eater, but when I find something pleasurable to eat, I can be a passionate woman! Just ask anyone who knows me, especially my kids, I can get a little crazy over food! I brought home 7 Red Velvet cupcakes, and I ended up cutting them into pieces, to make them last longer, then I carefully rationed them, until every last morsel was gone... SCARY, but true.:)


*The only catch is, that you need to be LOCAL, as they do not ship at this time...


So if you want a chance to experience these babies.........

Modern Cupcake will give away 1 dozen cupcakes (1 flavor) to the lucky winner. A dozen is valued at $36.



Here is how you can feel Thankful too...



~LIKE Modern Cupcake on Facebook and let us know.



~Become a fan and follow Whippy Cake's blog, Facebook and or/Twitter and let us know.



~Then leave us a comment on this post stating which flavor you desire, from Modern Cupcake...



~For extra entries, you can blog, facebook or tweet about this giveaway and leave a 2nd comment with the link(s). (extra entries only qualify if they have a link.)



Good Luck Friends!

Detective Cake-Stache

 Yah, I know. Mustache photos are probably getting old but for the record this is my first. I picked up these absolutely, utterly and completely adorable mustache sewing pins at The Queen Bee Market from Creme de la Gems. My kids and I have been playing with them everyday. Uh,  I mean.... I do not let my toddlers play with sewing pins, I just let them look at them.

I love these super fun sewing pins so much. I want to collect some more!

My BOOTS!

Anyone remember last year when I offered a reward for the mysterious boots {HERE}? After months of searching we came up empty handed...

 Well, I just had the urge to search again and holy GUACAMOLE I found them!!! Thank you AMAZON! The only down fall is it's 3:45am and I can't call anyone or even scream and run around the studio doing my happy dance. Instead I emailed my sister the link so she can get in on the perfect booties also. Sorry to my blog for being the second to hear the good news. You can bet your britches I added all FOUR colors to my Amazon favorites widget on the left. Are my bold, all caps and large words getting annoying? I use them when I am very VERY excited!

Photobucket

It being 3:45am I almost went crazy and bought them in ALL four colors but reason piped in so I didn't... Or because it's 3:45am I ignored the voice of reason when it told me to buy all four colors.  Crap.

Nothing to do now but wait in agony for them to show up on my door. One thing is for sure, when they do get here, I will have a very intimate photo shoot with those suckers on my feet!

fReAkInG out people!!!!

I've hardly recovered from the trip to California. *Small tear.
I'm slammed with orders (which I will start shipping immediately today).
I just found out I missed endless shrimp at Red Lobster (note to self: sign up for Red Lobster notifications).
My house is destroyed! Mainly my studio and my closet, no time to clean it. Oh Darn!
I want to take my kids out for a play date with mommy because I missed them. Bounce U maybe?
I started one of the best books ever (I am Number Four) and am now realizing I may never finish it. Thank you Amazon for suggesting such a LONG book. 
My email is overflowing more than it ever has. Yikes! (please be patient w/ me)
I am feeding Lo Lo pink coconut Snow Balls. Second breakfast, yum.
Changed my Pandora play-list to Christmas music this morning. (no going back now)  It's so loud I'm sure I can't hear anything else.
I am freaking tired!
