Yay it's Tortie Tuesday and it's also Tax Day! We had to help Mommy work an extra day this year since yesterday was the Emancipation holiday in Washington, DC so the whole country got an extra day to invest in their IRAs and to file their taxes today...
But now it's time to get back to normal around here. One of the things Mommy doesn't like about tax season is that so many things get put on hold because she's working so much. My wise Tortie advice is that life is too short to be put on hold! I even convinced Mommy that it's okay to take a cake decorating class she's always wanted to and she listened! Here's her first cake that she made last Thursday:
She said it was more stressful than a 6 hour tax return but she did have fun. We love the buttercream frosting and can't wait for the next 8 weeks of cakes!
Huh, what's that Mommy? Why are the next cakes going to Daddy's work? Can we at least have some frosting?
Anyway, today's lesson is: Life is too short, enjoy the frosting!
If there's something you've always wanted to do - do it!
Hope you have a very Happy Tortie Tuesday!

Is your human going to learn how to make a salmon cream cheese frosting? That would be fancy - and awesome!
Good heaven's, that cake is gorgeous! That's your mom's first try at cake decorating? Wow!!
The cake looks really pretty! Your mom did a good job on it. Glad she is doing something fun. I'd sure rather decorate cakes than spend 1 hour on taxes!
That is such a happy little cake. You do give out such good advice, Isabella!
That's a very good lesson Isabella and I'm glad you convinced mom to take the class. Her cake is beautiful! Dad's coworkers are sure to enjoy her creations!!

If that was your mom's first cake I think I want her to come work with me in the bakery. I need a little boost in sales and I think that would sell big time :)
Wow, Sharla! Your rainbow cake looks amazing!
Glad you are getting back to your normal routine :)
My mom is a natural artist and always decorated beautiful cakes. I was fortunate enough to get a little of her in my genes. I just love decorating cakes and also took a class a few years ago. It's so much fun! Your cake turned out spectacular. I bet it tasted just as good!
OH that looks SO good! What a beauty!!!! YUM!
WOW! Mommy is very talented, and lucky Daddy, getting all those cakes to take to work! I wonder why Mommy doesn't want them sitting around her kitchen? Good for Mommy for taking that cake decorating class, I can't wait to see more of her creations!
GREAT advice, Isabella!
Wow. Did you have to read that whole book to help your mom?
Your mom's cake looks wonderful!
Play bows,

1. The cake is gorgeous
2. I'm not that crazy about frosting
3. I do support the concept of "eat dessert first"!
And that cake will be much yummier than any 'ole set of tax forms! Glad your Mommy is done helping with taxes and can devote all her time to you!
The cake looks great!!! And yay for your last full time day!! You showcased a sign last friday finds that was a cat that had written on it "life is short, play with me!" on it. I keep thinking about it, and it's a great reminder for me to stop what I"m doing and play with my furbabbies when they come to me!
Beautiful cake! I have always wanted to do a cake decorating class.
That is a very pretty cake. I took a class once and it was a blast!
Mommy is salivating!!
Tell your Mom that nobody ever thinks "I should have worked more" when their time comes.
Good thing your mommy took your advice Isabella...that cake looks awesome!
Happy Tax Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, that is one gorgeous cake Mom made. We hope there is a big pot of gold for lots of treats at the end of that rainbow.
So today could be Emancipation Day for your Mom.
