✨Yesterday was my birthday! 🎉
Instead of spending hours decorating a "show-off" cake for social media, I chose to spend the day in the kitchen baking with my littles. We made mini brown sugar Biscoff cakes (IYKYK), cheesecake, and a blueberry lemon cream cheese focaccia before heading to our favorite place, Hepzibah's Farm, to cuddle baby animals. It was the perfect family reset after a food truck festival on Saturday. 🌾🐐
If you’ve been here a while, your support means the world to me. If you’re new, I do a "get to know your baker" post every birthday, so here is the quick breakdown:🎂✨
How it started: I’m a mom to three daughters and have been married for almost 14 years. I stumbled into baking by accident when I needed a cake, everyone was booked, and I figured, “I can do this.” 🎂
Self-taught & tested: Frosting Layers was built on sleepless nights, YouTube videos, and many, many tears. You haven't known true heartbreak until your buttercream won't smooth, or you accidentally mix bubblegum pink instead of hot pink. 😭 I even briefly taught baking classes at Harper College, but quickly realized I'd much rather bake for you than teach you how to do it!🩷🩷
The vibe: I love baby animals, pink everything (though I only wear neutrals until summer hits—then it’s neon swimsuit season), and I live in my headphones. 🎧 If you’ve picked up a cake and wonder why I ask for you to text me when you’re outside, it’s because I’m inside baking with music blasting! It’s a total toss-up whether it's Rob Zombie and System of a Down, or Cody Johnson and Ella Langley. 🎸🤠
I absolutely love meeting you guys and turning clients into real friends. Thank you for letting me be a part of your special moments—here’s to another year of amazing cakes! 🥂✨
