Phew...Almost missed Star Wars day. I've been so busy. But here's a Clone Wars cake for you to enjoy. Along with an army of chocolate and vanilla storm trooper cupcakes. "May the 4th be with you!"

Thought I'd share another pickleball cake with you. This time to highlight the difference in price points. The last post used an edible image on a shaped cake to create the paddle. Also the board was not decorated and the cookies were a bit simpler. This pickleball cake, however, was a replica of the owners paddle with their company logo. Each piece of modeling chocolate was color matched and hand cut to match their paddle design and the logos were hand painted onto the sides of the cake.

This cake took much longer to decorate, but I loved the colors and final design of this cake. The inside was colorful too with a sprinkle funfetti cake sponge and a coconut sweet cream buttercream filling. Half dozen large size colorful lemon butter cookies also gave this cake a nice pop of color! 🀩

What do you think? Do you like the hand cut design of this cake or the realistic printed image from the last post better?

Do you remember when pickleball exploded? It was talked about on the news...young and old alike were enjoying the game...it became America's fastest-growing sport during the pandemic?

Well, it became a popular item for cake orders as well. I have made a number of these over the last few years, but here is the very first pickleball cake I ever made. (Back in 2021 when I did not even know what a pickleball looked like. πŸ˜‚) Cakes and cookies go well together and the client enjoyed this fun pickleball paddle sized chocolate creation along with a set of lemon butter cookie pickleballs. 🎾

Sometimes it's not about the decorations (though I do think we eat with our eyes first) but about the flavor, the memory, and what food connects us to our happy moments.

Had a client once tell me that their wife loved a cake they got in their home country, but he did not know what it was called in English and they had not had it since coming to the US many many years ago. So I had him to describe it to me and I started researching. Now, I could not source the exact ingredients that were probably used in his home country, (even butter is different from region to region) but I did end up being able to create a cake for him to surprise his wife with. He told me later that it tasted just like she remembered and made her sooo happy. I love stories like that.

This is why I do what I do. πŸ’™ I love being a part of the happy moments of people's lives. Let me know if you need a nostalgic pick me up.

One thing about being a home-baker is that I'm not stuck with a set list of items that I can bake and sell. I love to try new recipes and flavors. So even if it is not something I regularly sell, a simpler cake, a non decorated cookie, or some other culinary treat that is just for you; contact me and let's create some happy memories.

Thought I'd stick with sharing some more cakes with macaron accents. This little beauty was made of vanilla sponge and lemon buttercream. Candied lemon peels, almond macarons, fresh blueberries, meringue puffs, white chocolate sugar pearls, lemon buttercream, and edible gold leaf accents adorned this tasty surprise. πŸ˜‹
Ordered by a mum who did not live in TX to surprise her daughter! 🫢 This was a fun one to deliver.

This lovely creation was actually for a 14th birthday party. The birthday girl requested a vintage (Victorian style) buttercream cake decorated with pink and white decorations. Vanilla sponge with a strawberry filling and our sweet cream buttercream was used. Delicious macarons with a strawberry buttercream filling also adorned this cake. 😍 I just love it!

Happy Valentine's Day! Hope your day is sweet. πŸ’™πŸ©·πŸ’›

😍 These scrumptious soft chocolate cookies were a huge hit with my daughter's teachers last year. Take a moment to show someone you care.
