One of the fun things you get to do as a parent is reminisce about all the random things your kids were briefly obsessed with. The birthday girl has a current fascination with a lift the flap board book called “Spooky House”. If I had this book when my kids were her age we would be reading it every night. Her awesome mom is throwing her a party based on this book and thought it would be fun to make the cake look like the witch character made it. I loved that idea so much!! I took some cues from the book and made it a little off kilter and I think it’s super fun and adorable. I hope she loves it too!!! Happy birthday!!

I was asked to make this cake for a milestone birthday. My customer wanted something elegant, topped with fruit. The focus of the other person helping her plan the party is celebrating the number of trips around the sun. I’m hoping she’s not terribly disappointed when this cake shows up 😂. I do want to say that both styles of cake, simple fruit or sparkly numbers, are appropriate and fun and lovely. If I had known, I probably could have done both, but when you have a small cake I think it’s best to limit the number of design elements. At least I hope the birthday queen enjoys it!! She already knows how old she is so I think plain fruit will be just fine. Happiest birthday to you and enjoy your special day!!!

I feel like everyone was talking about and going to see Backrooms this summer but now I’m thinking they were mostly in their 30s or younger. I only went to take my son and his friend but it was pretty great. Super creepy. If you saw it, this cake will make sense. If not, you’ll be confused but hopefully still find it creepy. I’ve attached some inspiration images from the movie for context. Along with Backrooms, my friends’ son also likes the show, Yellowjackets, and 90s grunge so I personalized the mural for him a bit. Thinking I should have done a second layer of face color — I started the outlines before I realized it was fading and was afraid to add more. We’ll just say that Pirate Clark is washed out by the unflattering fluorescent lighting of the backrooms 😅. I hope you like it, B!! Happy birthday!!

I had to move out of my usual photo spot to accommodate our enormous barn/yard sale yesterday 😮‍💨. We were running around and it was outrageously hot and the cake was SWEATING but it all came together in the end. So happy I could make this! It’s an anniversary cake for a super awesome customer. She did not have to but she thought to bring me a little trinket from the Philippines and I love it so much. My friend, Apollo, from the bachelor’s program at the Culinary would always joke about “the Filipino connection”. It is real and it got us through many a group project 😅. Thank you so much!!! Lovely to see you yesterday and congratulations on your anniversary!!

I rarely get requests for a very specific design. Usually I’m given a mashup of inspiration from which I pull my favorite design elements. This time, however, I was asked to make a very specific cake. Because polka dots + a shell border sort of belong to the baking world’s collective intellectual property, it felt fine to say yes (although I did feel compelled to pipe the border differently). It’s adorable and I hope it’s a good match!! The birthday boy’s family made little picks with the baby’s face on it 🥹. So cute! I hope I get to see pictures later. When I get cake updates after the party, it’s honestly my favorite thing. Have a wonderful first birthday!!! ❤️

If you have special characters/toys that you would love to see on top of a cake, I am always up for that — as long as you can get them to me ahead of time and the toys fit the size cake you’re ordering. These two little canine superheroes look really cute up there 💛🐾. Happiest birthdays to the birthday girls in this sweet family! Hope you have the best time celebrating!! 🥳

The Exeter Historical Society is hosting a fundraiser tonight. Proceeds will be used to upgrade exhibits. These are for a themed table inspired by and the amazing Mrs Banks from Mary Poppins. I mulled over this theme for a while and finally decided to make the tops of the cupcakes into ribbon rosettes/badges/pins — it fits the shape better than a sash. I wondered if I could make the “fabric” out of fondant but it just felt too bulky. Buttercream piped with two different ruffle tips turned out really cute and kept the fondant to a minimum. I took some artistic license and toned down the vibrant purple and gold a bit. My 16 year old stopped by to see what I was working on and immediately understood my vision so I’ll take that as a win. Suffragette slogan badges probably feel quaint in 2026, but please know there are powerful people in the United States TODAY who truly believe that women should not have the right to vote and are working very hard to make that happen. Stay informed. Use your voice. Vote 🇺🇸🇺🇸

I made maybe 10 pies for the wrestling banquet this past spring but only did 1 key lime because I didn’t think many people would want it. Well the joke was on me because it was the first to go. I think it’s the meringue. Who doesn’t love toasted meringue?? A friend at the banquet ordered 2 pies for her husband’s birthday and I’m so happy he can cut as big a slice as he wants instead of having to share tiny slices with a bunch of hungry teenagers 😅. Have the best birthday!!!

I got the best compliment ever from one of my customers. She wrote and said, “I have no upcoming occasion, but I am craving one of your cakes.” 🥹❤️ It made me so happy, I can’t even tell you. She requested fondant and something “soft, fancy and pretty” so I did some draped fondant on the outside in a very pale mint green. Kept the rest simple. When I design a cake, it’s very much a collaboration and a mingling of visions but occasionally I have someone who just lets me go for it and it’s a welcome opportunity to try something different. I think it’s great. So happy to do this for you!! Enjoy!!
