Last weekend, Adam & I drove to Pensacola so I could enter a cake into the Panhandle Cake C.R.U.M.B.S. 2010 Fairytale Cake Decorating Competition. It was a tough decision to choose a fairytale on which to base my cake design. I really wanted to do an Alice in Wonderland cake but figured lots of people …

Last weekend, Adam and I shared a banana for breakfast (with some King Cake…yummy!). For reasons I can’t explain, I decided to stick the Chiquita banana sticker on Nani’s head. Amazingly…and hilariously, she had no clue it was there! I just kept thinking…you know when you try to put a gift bow on someone’s head …

A few weeks ago, I was lucky enough to attend the Florida International Cake Exploration Societe (ICES) Mini Classes! I say lucky because I was only able to afford the registration and tuition because I won a scholarship from the national ICES chapter this summer. As a side note, if you are an ICES member, …
