The “Pay Your Age” cake sale officially closed last night at 5pm & wow, I am beyond grateful for all of the interest that this trendy sale had 💛

Because of all of your support, June is almost completely booked for the bakery. That honestly means the world to me. With that being said, if you’re needing to place an order for June, please reach out as soon as you can!

I am SO excited for you all to see the cakes that were ordered during this sale. There are going to be some really fun cakes on our page next month 🍰

In the meantime, make sure you’re following along this week as I prep for our SOLD OUT cake decorating class this Saturday, along with several other orders going out. It’s going to be a busy, sweet-filled week.

Get Dogged Out for dinner tonight after a day of baking & a full week ahead 🎂

Today, we pause to remember & honor the brave service members who gave everything for our freedom. Their sacrifice is the reason we can gather, celebrate, and enjoy life’s simple moments ❤️

As a proud Navy wife, this day holds a special place in my heart. I’m especially grateful for those who serve and those we’ve lost along the way ⚓️

From my kitchen to your home, thank you for supporting this small business and allowing me to be part of your celebrations. Whether you’re spending today with family, friends, or remembering a loved one - hold them close 💙

Feeling extra grateful today 💛

As a bakery owner, I get to be a part of some of the most special moments - from birthday parties to surprise engagement cakes. It’s more than just baking to me, it’s being trusted with people’s memories 🎂

As I become more & more comfortable being behind a camera & filming, I want to start showing more of the little details that go into creating some of the custom orders that I receive & things that I do on a daily basis for the bakery (these can also be little tips) 🎥

The first little detail that I wanna share with you guys is how I store my cakes after they are baked until it is time to decorate. When my cakes come out of the oven, I let them sit for a few minutes in their pans. After that, they are flipped out of the pans & trimmed to size. When the cake layers are trimmed, they are then wrapped in plastic wrap. Saran-wrapping cake layers traps in moisture, keeping them soft and fresh while preventing air exposure & freezer burn. Chilling the wrapped layers also firms them up, making them easier to handle & frost neatly with our delicious buttercream 🧈

That way, when I am ready to decorate, they have been chilling in the freezer & will be topped with simple syrup to ensure maximum moisture in the cakes 🎂

Today’s pickup is extra special - a graduation cake & a wedding cake tasting box 💒

Our wedding cake tasting boxes are designed with convenience and clarity in mind. Each flavor is individually wrapped and clearly labeled, making it easy to sample and compare your favorites at your own pace. For today’s post, though, we wanted to do something a little different. While your actual tasting box will come neatly packaged and labeled, we have displayed slices outside of their wrapping. This gives you a better visual of some of our flavors - from different textures and colors to fillings and finishes - that way you can truly see the variety we offer 🍫

For this customer’s cake tasting box, they chose vanilla cake with chocolate buttercream, almond cake with vanilla buttercream, funfetti, lemon blueberry, cookie butter, cookies & cream, cookie dough, white raspberry, fudge raspberry, chocolate cake with peanut butter buttercream, strawberry cake with chocolate buttercream, & andes mint 🎂
