“My husband is retiring in August after serving for 20 years in the military. I’m reaching out as I found your customized military cakes online and was hoping to see if you were available to create a cake for us for his retirement ceremony.”

An Instagram search.

It still boggles my mind that this is how so many of you find your way to me—and I am so incredibly grateful that you do!

It was an honor to create yet another military retirement cake, this time celebrating 20 years of service in the United States Air Force and Space Force. And it was even more special to personally present the cake to the retiree today while he was having lunch with his immediate family.

And yes…I even made the satellite on top! I mean, how could I not?!

Congratulations on an incredible 20 years of service. Thank you for your dedication, and here's to retirement and whatever adventures await in this next chapter!

The thing about kids’ cakes is that sometimes I have to do a little homework before I can even start designing. 😂

For Quin’s third birthday, the request was Ms. Rachel. So, naturally, off I went down the Ms. Rachel rabbit hole to figure out exactly what needed to make an appearance.

And here is the result!

Ms. Rachel and her little orange friend? ✔️
“Say ___!” speech bubbles? ✔️
Party hats and balloons? ✔️
Those iconic overalls? Absolutely. ✔️

And can we talk about those overalls?! I just LOVE how cute they came out! The little pocket, the buttons, the stitching…I may have gotten a bit carried away with the details, but that's half the fun.

Happy 3rd birthday, Quin! I hope your day had you saying, “Birthday!”

Today is Ericka’s birthday, and to say this woman is the kind of client every cake artist dreams of is an understatement.

She is constantly throwing new ideas my way and trusting me to run with them. And I happily oblige… even when that means individually boxing cupcakes and tying a tiny bow around 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲. 𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐞. 𝐨𝐧𝐞.

But that’s Ericka. She gives me creative freedom, lets me play with designs and flavors, and is always so genuinely excited about whatever I create for her. When someone trusts your art like that, you don’t mind tying a ridiculous number of tiny bows.

For this birthday, we went with a little vintage piping, a lot of peachy-pink buttercream, dainty bows and, naturally, a couple of olives because she is only “𝐚 𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐢 𝐛𝐢𝐭 𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐫”. 🍸

Happiest of birthdays to you, lady! Thank you for continuing to keep me on my toes and letting me create all the pretty things for your celebrations. I cannot wait to see what you come up with next!

A joint 60th birthday celebration for two people with very different passions — one who loves a beautiful sunset and another who loves Rush. Two completely different cakes, but both celebrating the same pretty fabulous milestone!

For the Rush cake, I used the cover of 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘈𝘳𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘙𝘶𝘴𝘩 as inspiration for the backdrop, then added the band’s iconic Starman logo, album symbols, and that unmistakable RUSH lettering on top. I absolutely LOVE the aged patina I created on the buttercream, although I wish the photos picked up all of its depth and color a little better. This one was dark, moody, and very rock & roll.

Then we went in a 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘺 different direction...

For the sunset cake, I broke out the paintbrushes and hand-painted the entire scene in buttercream — something I haven’t done in quite a while! Once I added the sandy shoreline and seashells, I was ready to pull up a chair, pour myself a drink, and watch that sunset myself.

Same birthday. Same age. 𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐘 different vibes.

Happiest of 60th birthdays to you both!

Typing this with cramped hands after ALL. THAT. PIPING. One hundred and fifty cupcakes and a cake later, and I can confidently say it was so worth it.

This may be the most romantic wedding set I’ve ever done.

When the brief first came in, the plan was just for the cake. But once the cupcakes were added, the entire vision really came to life. Romantic florals, delicate vines and buds, butterflies gently landing on the edges of cupcakes, soft ruffles and vintage piping...every little detail became part of the mood.

And seeing all 150 cupcakes surrounding the cake at the venue made those cramped hands VERY happy!

Congratulations, Samantha and Joe! I absolutely loved bringing this one to life for you. 🤍

When a request came in to marry two of my previous designs for Charlotte’s 18th birthday, it was an easy yes. And the result? This sweet little vintage heart cake!

But I think my favorite part was getting to meet the birthday girl herself when she came to pick it up. Seriously—the cutest girl to ever pick up her own birthday cake!

I hope you had the BEST 18th birthday, Charlotte!

This wedding was such a joy to be a small part of, and seeing the professional photos made me fall in love with this cake all over again. Some venues elevate a cake—but every once in a while, a cake and a venue simply belong together.

With its delicate vintage piping, elegant swan topper, and soft ivory palette, it felt like it had always belonged among the marble columns and towering stacks. And the brides... absolutely stunning! Their timeless gowns, this incredible venue, and the romantic cake design came together so beautifully that it felt like stepping into the pages of a classic love story.

Inside was chocolate chip cake filled with creamy cannoli filling, all wrapped in silky vanilla buttercream.

Some venues are just 𝘵𝘩𝘦 venue you've dreamed of delivering to, and for me, the George Peabody Library has always been one of them.

I arrived just before the ceremony, but because the room wasn't being flipped for cocktail hour yet, I had to set up behind a folding screen. While I wasn't able to photograph the cake in all her glory, I still snapped some pics before taking in the incredible beauty of this library. It's every bit as breathtaking in person as you've imagined. I cannot wait to see the professional pics of the cake in this setting!

Now... let's talk about this cake. She was 𝗛𝗘𝗔𝗩𝗬.

By the time I finished decorating, I could barely wrestle her into the refrigerator. A coworker had to help me get her into my car, and when she showed up with her teenage son, I knew I was saved. Then, at the venue, one of the caterers came to the rescue and lifted her onto the cake stand.

Needless to say, I spent the day wondering if she was actually going to make it to the party. Thankfully, she did. Whew!

Made to serve 90, this beauty was chocolate chip cake with cannoli filling and finished in vanilla buttercream with my favorite vintage piping.

Some cakes are memorable because of the design. Some because of the venue. This one will always be remembered for both... and for the workout it gave everyone involved!

Who knew when I first created this piping design for a silly goose cake that it would become one of my most requested designs?!

I even have an upcoming wedding cake where the couple requested this same style of piping—goose excluded, of course!

This particular silly goose was extra special because it was made for someone I knew way back in high school. One of the unexpected perks of this cake journey has been reconnecting with people from different chapters of my life through their celebrations.

Thank you, Lori, for trusting me to create this cake for such a special occasion. I hope your daughter had a wonderful shower and was surrounded by lots of love, laughter, and maybe a silly goose or two!

Retirement. Service. Sacrifice.

There are cakes that celebrate milestones, and then there are cakes that honor a lifetime of dedication.

As America celebrates its 250th birthday, I had the privilege of creating this cake for a Marine retiring after years of faithful service to our country. The timing made the celebration feel even more meaningful.

The goal was to recreate his dress blues as accurately as possible. Every detail mattered—from the buttons and piping to the insignia and rank. While I had to make a slight adjustment to the service ribbons to fit the proportions of the cake, every effort was made to ensure the uniform reflected the one he wore with pride.

The American flag draped over the top was the finishing touch—a simple reminder of what that uniform represents.

Thank you for your service, your sacrifice, and your commitment to something greater than yourself. Wishing you all the best as you begin this next chapter. Congratulations on your well-earned retirement! 🇺🇸🎂
