A Whole Lotta Livin' Going On....
Oops! It's been a long time since I've posted...sorry about that! (i think someone just needs to send me a reminder email every once in awhile!) :)
Well, there has been a lot going on at The Chocolate Season and on the homefront. Custom cakes are becoming a big hit. Just lately, we created a vanilla cake with ganache filling and Italian buttercream for Kaylee's 1-yr old birthday party
as well as catered an assortment of birthday treats, which featured a classic carrot cake with not-so-classic garnishing (including a naughty bunny made out of fondant!) for Diane's Pharmacists Mutual friends in Algona.
At home we've been having fun with family time at Lake Okoboji as well as keeping up with my sister's rapidly progressing pregnancy and very rapidly expanding belly!
Little Strummer just might come out early, which would be a relief for my sister. But last weekend Sara, Crystal and I threw her a baby shower full of fun games, and a chance to decorate onesies for my new nephew. 
The shower featured Amanda's favorite food, hot wings, some yummy cupcakes (courtesy of, well, me!), a jungle-theme with a bunch of balloons (talk to sara about how fun that was...) and was held at Crystal's beautiful home in Urbandale.
My husband has also been super busy with senior photos
(a new service he's offering) and I think they are so fantastic! I didn't think I could love anything more than his wedding photos, 
but lately, his senior and family photos 
are just so exciting to me! http://www.bradleyjensen.com
And even though we've lived in our school house for over a year now, we threw our first official dinner party...aka: taco night at our home with some wonderful couples, and had a grand ol' time. So fun in fact, that Brad has already announced the 2nd Annual Jensen Pancake Feed to be following shortly. Oh dear. :P
More to post later, but look forward to our fall caramels to be officially released in just a short time (less than a week?!) and get ready to indulge in some nostalgic yumminess!
