When all else fails, eat cake!

My posts have been a bit heavy as of late.  Since this blog is titled Love, Light, Laughter and Chocolate,  I decided everyone needs a dose of silliness today.  So today, it's about laughter and chocolate!

Anyone who knows me knows my favorite food group is cake!  I have a wicked sweet tooth, and thankfully, have been blessed with a metabolism able to keep up with my love of cake, chocolate and all manner of yummy goodness.  Sugar is my drug.  I freely admit that.

I recently re-married this past September.  After meticulous research, we opted for cupcakes from a local Italian bakery.  This was by far one of the most important wedding decisions to make!  ;-)  I take my cake very seriously!  They were yummiliscious!  Our photographers did an amazing job capturing our cupcake tower and the fun we had with it.  I thought I'd share it with you.  I hope it makes you smile today.


 Do I look excited, or what?!  I was!


We did not do a cake 'ceremony'.  The cupcakes were self-serve, so we did our silly photos before we even formally said "I do"!


And, yes, we are silly.


 Tower of deliciousness!
For inquiring minds, the flavors were Italian Wedding Cake, Spice and Chocolate with cannoli filling.


 A close up.  Makes me want one for breakfast.

All hail the cupcakes! This one was a spice cake version.  One of my favorites!  I really wanted to eat it right then, but we had to go get married!

Although many of my posts are deep, personal and introspective, I am, by nature, a rather silly and fun-loving person.  My family knows the importance of a sense of humor.  Laughter really is the best medicine.  

I hope you got a chuckle today.

Now go forth and eat cake!

    1. Thanks, Dawn. Someday, the how I ended up here will be a blog post, too. What they say about one door closing and another opening is true...

  3. I admit it. I'm a sugar-holic. I often swear that if I didn't have a sweet tooth, I'd weigh 45 lbs. Lol. Sometimes you just have to dig in with 2 spoons and let the whip cream dribble off of your face. Do it to celebrate life or for no reason at all.

    Now leaving to get a cupcake. Thanks a lot, lady! ;P

  4. Since I lost my husband to a tragic helicopter accident in 2009 (not military) I will post here on your wedding post, since you might not see it in the see of responses on your other posts. It's only been 3 years, and it was like it was yesterday. Everything you said was so similar to my experience. Having to tell his mother he was gone. Watching her put his toys in the casket. Too much to bear.

    Ah, I won't get all heavy on you, but ya, you have to wonder why. Thank you for sharing your story. I am glad you have remarried, I hope you are nice and happy with him. You will be in my prayers...

    1. Kelly,

      I'm so sorry about the loss of your husband. It's true, I've received many messages from people who have lost children, spouses and other family members who made mention of how similar our experiences were. There is something comforting to know we have all now found this way to connect and hold each other in support and love.

      Peace to you.
      Kim

  5. Just read your bio and was pleased you are involved in the 'birth world.' I've been a doula since 1992, so that makes you even more of a sister to me now. Many blessings with that endeavor.

    1. Yes, the doula sisters rock! I actually wrote an article for the International Doula after Meghan died about the similarities between doula-ing for a birth and for a death. My doula sisters took such good care of me for months!!

      With doula spirit,
      Kim
