My first attempt at a dessert table: not so great. But, it should be noted that my head was filled with other planning to-dos for my husband’s 30th birthday party. Add to that a fussy baby and you understand why my dessert table items don’t all exactly match. I keep telling him that next year, [...]

Sweet Sweet Summer
I made a quick cake for my cousin’s birthday this past weekend. A chocolate berry cake – the perfect summer cake. Yummy. I used my favorite recipe for a chocolate Guinness cake from Nigella Lawson, filled it and covered it in almond buttercream, and topped it with sweet, sweet berries. If you’ve never tried a [...]

Black & Red Wedding Cupcakes
I am slowly getting back into the swing of things. I cannot wait to get back to baking! These cupcakes were for a friend’s wedding. I completed the order several days after Baby J was born, although I had the cupcakes frozen, the sugar flowers created ahead of time, and the help of family – thankfully! This was [...]

Under The Sea
A friend of mine is having a little boy in June. This past weekend we had a little baby shower for her at BD’s Mongolian BBQ. Since her nursery is based around an ocean theme, I decided to make an ocean theme cake for the shower. I found the inspiration from Little Cottage Cupcakes’s Octonauts [...]

I put all my pansies in one basket
What a way to wrap up the last class of the Wilton Method Course 2: Flowers and Cake Design. This cake – whew! – I definitely lost some mojo that day. The yellow and purple pansy combination just isn’t doing it for me. Perhaps it would have been better to have purple be the main [...]

Yo Gabba Gabba!
My friend’s little boy turned 2 this week. My how time flies! He is enthralled with Yo Gabba Gabba and Elmo, so we chose a Yo Gabba Gabba theme for his cakes. I made a vanilla two tiered cake for the adults and a chocolate smash cake for the birthday boy. Since I’ve never watched Yo [...]

Well Hello…
It’s always nice to run across new blogs. This time around I had the pleasure of making the acquaintance of MacGuffin and Puffin. The About page says “I can rant about ANYTHING”. I love it. Sweet and simple. And who doesn’t dig a good rant? MacGuffin and Puffin was kind enough to feature my TRON cake [...]

You may ask why…
I put a sheep on top of a surfboard, on top of a cake. An old friend from high school is moving to Hawaii on Wednesday. He needed a change and jumped right at the chance to leave Michigan. I can’t say I blame him. Five years ago I up and decided to move to [...]
