🤍✨

Classic vanilla cake & vanilla buttercream… and always made completely from scratch.

No shortcuts. No shortening. Just real ingredients—right down to the homemade vanilla.

Baked with Love and Butter.
Lots of Butter.

My son has worked at Jimmy John’s throughout high school. For his graduation party he wanted a Jimmy John’s cake. It’s not perfect but my boy was happy so I’m calling it a success. This kid ❤️

I did not advance to the Quarterfinals. Its not for lack of support though. Thank yall so much. So many people took time out to vote and that feels good. I mean..not $10,000 good..but..ya know..🙄🙃😁
There were several that also donated to the foundation in show of support and to me THAT is amazing. Ultimately this is a fundraiser for a great cause, and I’m thrilled to have been a part of it again this year 💛. Happy Friday!

It’s that time of year again. The Greatest Baker competition starts tomorrow. Ultimately, it is a fundraiser for a great cause; The Andrew McDonough Be Positive Foundation which provides assistance to families dealing with childhood cancer across the country. The bakers advance through the tournament style brackets based on votes. We can’t vote for ourselves and voting is monitored for that. Everyone else gets one free vote, daily. Two if you verify your identity with a debit/credit card(no purchase necessary. It’s to make sure we don’t cheat). Then if you choose to purchase additional votes you simply make a donation in the name of your favorite baker. I believe each dollar is one additional vote. Last year I was one round away from the semi finals. The show of support was awesome and so appreciated. Maybe we can go the distance this year..so please everyone don’t forget to vote and share. Every day! The link for my profile is below. There is a question and answer segment as you scroll down and pictures of my bakes toward the bottom. Voting starts at 10am! 💛🧁💛Thanks in advance!
