I’m excited to announce a new product we’re offering! Cookie Decorating Kits! Let me explain… Have you ever had the urge to decorate cookies but dread the hassle of making the cookie dough, rolling the dough, cutting the shapes, baking the cookies, cooling the cookies, mixing the icing, coloring the icing, and preparing your piping …
Who doesn’t love a holiday cookie swap!? I have been hosting a cookie swap with my girlfriends for…what?…like 7 years now? But since we’ve recently moved to a new city, my girlfriends are all out of town! So it was perfect timing when I heard about The Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap that my friend …
Last weekend, I had the pleasure of making Tina’s & Pietro’s wedding cake for their reception at the Lowry Park Zoo! The two of them met at a fundraising event at the zoo, and they’ve been on an African safari together. So, it was only natural that they chose a wedding cake covered with silhouettes …
If you know me, you know I am a HUGE M&M fan! Love the candy. Love the characters. Love the commercials. Love the magazine ads. Love, love, love. So I was thrilled when a new client called to order an M&M cake. She gave me full artistic freedom on the cake but just requested …
I know I said I’d try to keep my family off this blog since it’s a CAKE blog…but I can’t resist this post. One week after Mikaela was born, my friend Elise Kersey of Elise Kersey Photography took some newborn photos at a local beach. We got there EARLY so we could catch the sunrise. …

Some of you may already know this, but I actually went into labor late Thursday night and had my baby at 5:19am on Friday, September 16th! So, it has taken …
I love this Minnie Mouse-themed first birthday cake. The soft pink buttercream makes it the perfect cake for a sweet little girl. The cake was iced in buttercream and decorated with fondant polka dots & daisies. The bow and ears topper was created out of gum paste. Happy 1st Birthday, Khamari!
It’s Friday! I’ll keep the post today short and sweet. Here are some cupcakes we decorated for an outdoor wedding. The cupcakes were displayed on a stand made by the bride & groom and the top of the stand held their anniversary cake. 4 different cupcake flavors with 4 different pastel-colored icing swirls!
