Welcome to Courtney Coggins blog !!

This is my first post of my blog and I'm excited to share my journey of having a full time job, starting a youtube channel and being a mom to a very energetic two year old boy. I have always loved to make things and baking cakes is my absolute favorite. I started doing all the cooking for Christmas and thanksgiving when I was maybe 19 which my mom loved which meant that was less for her to do. Well I say it was less to do it really isn't because I made a huge mess of her kitchen. She always says wash as you go well I don't do that so at the end I have a mountain of dishes. For me to do a YouTube channel and get in front of a camera is a huge deal for me I have always hated public speaking. In middle school I took a zero on a poem so I wouldn't have to talk in front of my class. It got easier but I still don't like it. So I surprised myself when I finally made my first video and posted it ! https://youtu.be/8POIRtcJwqo I haven't set up a schedule like most youtubers that publish every week on a certain day. But I do try to do one a week if I have the time and energy, after work most days I don't feel like getting everything together and set up to film. So most of my videos are done on the weekend when I can get Zack to watch Cash and leave the house for a couple of hours. I hope that you enjoy the post to come !!

The Walking Dead Cake

The Walking Dead Cake Its October which means two things its my birthday month and The Walking Dead comes back on tv !!!! I didn't become a fan of the show until the third season was coming on and I discovered it because they were have a marathon and I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. Well lets just say after a couple of episodes I was hooked and loved it and since then haven't missed an episode. So when the season premiere came on last year and Negan was to be revealed I made my first Walking Dead cake which has been my biggest hit on youtube so far which deserves it own post because its an awesome cake. So for this cake I decided I needed a little bit of each side to be represented on this cake. The Brain with the blood on it, is in the center which is a walker brain, then I made Lucille, Negan's bat sticking out on one side and an arrow coming out beneath the brain for Daryl.  Link to my video on this cake:   https://youtu.be/QET61WVFIw4 I had t...

Vikings Lagertha Shield Cake

Vikings Lagertha Shield Cake Its time for the new season of Vikings and what a better way to kick off the new season than with a Lagertha shield cake and its such a pretty color.

To top that off I got a chewing out by a two year old for my mess I made. Cash came in there looked down at it and said "what did u do !!" It was the cutest thing he wasn't happy with me. It took me forever to clean it up because I couldn't stop laughing.  I used a whole package of fondant and colored it with my teal gel food coloring. Wilton makes what they call a ribbon cutter ...

Thanksgiving 2017

Thanksgiving 2017 This year for Thanksgiving was really laid back and not stressful of course my cooking was cut in half. The only dessert I cooked was pecan pie no cakes!! But to be fair there was only five of us and one was a two year old that only wanted mac and cheese.  The Chef is in!! I couldn't believe I got him to set still for more than one second and got this great picture of him he loves to be in the kitchen with me and wants to help. I have let him help me ice a cake and small stuff like that and he loves it. The start of cornbread dressing this is a must at Thanksgiving and Christmas at our house. Sweet Potato Casserole Of course my only dessert Pecan Pie which is a much bigger deal if you  know how I am about my cakes but we wouldn't have eaten them with just us, maybe a slice or two but the rest would have gone to waste. I forgot to get a picture before everyone dug in so I had to get a quick one before it was...
