We laid my father in law to rest yesterday. He and I could not be any more different 😅, but he was just the coolest person ever and I absolutely adored him. So many funny stories and wonderful memories. He touched so many lives and I am so very grateful to have had him in mine. When I graduated from the CIA in 1999, his gift to me was this blow torch that I have used faithfully for 27 years. I think he was confused about what I could possibly use it for 😅. Love you, Dad!! Really missing you today 🥹❤️

I needed to take this weekend off but before I wrapped everything up, I really wanted to squeeze this little order in. This family is the cutest and even though I didn’t have any prior personal connection to them, they have been customers from the beginning. I don’t know how they found me, but I so appreciate them!! Plus I love a little smash cake ❤️!! Happiest birthday little Stevie!!

My toxic baker trait is convincing myself that everything I need to do takes only 15 minutes 😅😑. I try to walk the line of simplifying without cutting corners which is really important when some things take longer than anticipated. Also it’s cold and rainy and gloomy and I think I was just having one of those days UNTIL my customers came to pick up and they were so happy, I got a big hug 🥹❤️. Totally turned my day around. Thank you! Their son and daughter graduated from college and they wanted to celebrate with a special cake for each of them. They both started somewhere amazing and are moving on to somewhere equally amazing!! What a journey. When my sons are finally done, I imagine I’ll be hugging literally everyone 😅. So happy for you all!! Good job, mom and dad! Have an awesome summer!!

The boy I babysit is the best. He’s so bright and curious and playful and imaginative and he knows exactly how to make me laugh. He’s the funniest. And the cutest!! And I love spending time with him ❤️. He wanted me to make his birthday cake — we started with Spider-Man, then switched to an under the sea theme since he was having his party at our local aquarium, then added Spider-Man to the sea (possibly fighting a shark??). Eventually he switched gears completely and wanted to do “jungle animals” which are in heavy rotation at play time. We looked at different cakes and he really liked the ones with the tiny party hats 😅. I bought some cute paper and made a bunch of little hats and tied them all on (thank you, Charlie, for the extra pair of hands). I love how this turned out!!! It’s one of my all time favorites. Thank you for the inspiration!!! You’re the best and I hope you loved your cake and your awesome birthday party!!! 😘😘

Junior prom time!! Always love to volunteer my time to this event. 250 cupcakes this year which was honestly a piece of cake compared to last time when we did cupcakes plus cookies plus a themed sheet cake 😮‍💨😮‍💨. I was on the committee that year so I think I kind of went crazy. It’s such a beautiful night!! I hope the kids have an amazing time!! Many thanks to my cute delivery assistants 😘😘

My standard 6 inch cake is two cakes/four layers and serves 8-12. But sometimes you only need half that much cake. I used to offer a 4 inch, but they’re more time consuming to decorate and are usually just too small on top. This cake is my compromise. It’s one 6 inch cake halved to make two layers and serves up to six. Floral design for a mom who loves gardening. Happy birthday!!

I’m a big Little Critter fan. He has the funniest expressions and he’s always getting into scrapes 😅🥹. I was super excited to make this and I love how it turned out even though I lost my super fine 00 piping tip and couldn’t make the face the way I wanted. It was just one of those nights 😮‍💨. There’s always a spider hiding on the page so I had to make sure he was peeking out from somewhere. The birthday boy’s parents said he will love looking for it. So happy I could make this!! Happy birthday!!

Graduation season is upon us! It’s the time when I have to figure out the best way to replicate school logos 😅. Some are easier than others. This one, from , was a lot easier to do as a buttercream transfer vs a painted fondant piece. I did have some yellow fondant left over from my pikachu cake a few weeks ago so I used some for the letters and border. I think it turned out great!! Congratulations on your accomplishment and I wish you all the best!! 🎓

I thought it would be interesting to show you the difference between an inspiration photo (last slide) and my final product. I welcome photos because it helps people explain what appeals to them visually. From there, I take what appeals to me as an artist and use it to merge our visions into one cohesive cake. My takeaway this time was a 2D Lightning McQueen and Mater, a natural looking “scene” and some cacti. I liked the idea of the desert outside Radiator Springs as my backdrop instead of the plain white and inserted Lightning into it vs sticking out of the top. I love it! I hope the birthday boy loves it too!! Happy birthday!! 🥳
