This is my last season playing soccer. I know, you’re thinking…”You’ve been playing since 5th grade, are you sure you can quit???” We all know I’ve tried to quit at least 2 other times in my life, and I always come back to it. But, this time is different. Life is much busier now and …
This weekend we took Nani to a 1-mile race that you run with your dog. There were all kinds of dogs there – from a dog that looked just like the one from Beverly Hills Chihuahua to large, powerful ones. Coming into the race, we knew they were going to give away prizes like “Most …
One of the most common questions I get “How long does it take you to make something like this??” Well, I work in the lab until about 4pm every day so I can only work on these cakes in the evenings. I usually bake the cakes on Wednesday evening. Then, I can start the decorating …
About twice a year, one of Adam’s poker-obsessed coworkers organizes a large poker tournament. Part of your entry fee includes dinner (hamburgers, hotdogs, and chips) and I always thought we needed desserts so I usually brought cookies or brownies or something like that.

A lot of my friends & family have had babies in the past year and I’ve really enjoyed watching them grow up – even if it’s only through reading their blogs! I decided to make 2 cakes in honor of 2 of the babies – Lorelei and Ian. I’ve finished Lorelei’s: It’s a really girly …
If you look at the websites of some cake bakers, they often give names to their wedding cakes…like Melanie or Michael! Well, I like the idea so I’ve named mine so far! The first one I made was the one with the swans on top that I took to the convention – that’s Abby. The …
Over the last few months, Nani has become increasingly messy when she eats her breakfast and dinner. She has formed the habit of carrying a huge mouthful of food to various spots in the house, dropping all the food, and then eating each piece separately. The bad part about this is that she’s not careful …
Shelby and Nicole wanted to celebrate their birthdays together and they requested that their significant others order a cake from me for the party. The guys decided to keep it a secret, and chose a cake in the shape of a purse! At first I was intimidated by the whole idea of a sculpted, 3-D …
