So I have been thinking about inventing a mixed drink for a while now and finally found the creative spark and inspiration that I needed. A couple of weeks ago Whitney had been complaining about the baby kicking her, but she was also really excited for the baby to come and was getting the room ready. I decided to name this drink after her, Carlie Skye. It has a good kick with a little bit of sweetness, just like the real thing. The recipe follows:
Carlie Skye
4 oz Cranberry Juice
1 oz lime juice
1 oz non-alcoholic Triple Sec
Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice and shake vigorously. Strain into a CHILLED martini glass. I put the martini glasses in the freezer at least 5 minutes before I make this. The more chilled the glass the better the outcome.

Switching gears...Kind of
So it has been over 8 months since my last post. Things have been crazy in between. We are expecting a baby any day now and we have been getting ready for that. I have also been taking cake decorating classes through Wilton at Michael's. I am can't remember exactly how I decided to get into cake decorating, but I have really enjoyed the classes. I now make all the birthday party cakes for my family and I have even been hired by Weber State University to make a cake for a faculty luncheon. I will also include occasional cakes that I have made and cake baking/decorating tips as well as mocktails in my blog posts. So stay tuned haha.
