I design each cake in relation to its surroundings.

The palette, the florals, the table, the light.
Each element informs the design before it is finalized.

It’s not just about how the cake looks on its own.
It’s about how it holds its place within the room.

I spent the weekend learning a beautiful wafer paper floral technique, and I’m so excited about the possibilities.

Each bloom is shaped petal by petal, creating delicate flowers that look incredibly lifelike. And yes, they’re completely edible.

I can’t wait to begin incorporating these blooms into future cakes for my clients.

Thank you to for sharing her artistry and teaching this technique, to for hosting the class at her studio, and to for capturing it so beautifully.

Would you want edible florals like these on your cake?

A woodland moment, finished in buttercream.
Whimsical tiers with sculpted texture, wild ferns, and golden details. The cake cutting was a whole mood. Airy blooms and trailing greens, sculpted buttercream, and the kind of joy you can feel. Then the best part. The first slice.

A wedding cake that feels like a centerpiece, not an afterthought.

Blush buttercream with painted wildflowers, sculpted floral texture, and soft blooms drifting up the tiers. Romantic, refined, and even more beautiful in person than on screen.

Serving Grand Rapids and West Michigan. Limited commissions each season.

I loved creating this cake. The rich florals, warm earthy tones, and gold edges came together in such a natural way. There’s something special about seeing the design come to life in the quiet layers of texture and color. 🎨👩🏻‍🎨

Hand-painted florals and soft, moody tones… understated beauty at its best.

Hand-painted florals and soft, moody tones… understated beauty at its best.

Hey everyone! I just wanted to say that I know this year has been especially hard for many of you and also on many small businesses. It’s sad to see people and businesses struggling just doing what they love and are passionate about. Although it’s been a much slower season, I feel grateful that I have been able to do this, even part time. I have a lot of love and respect for many home bakers and small businesses that do this as their full-time job, especially during these crazy times with inflation going through the roof. I know that these hard times have not only affected many of you in business but emotionally as well. This crazy year has really brought out things in me that I didn’t even know could be shaken. I’ve been struggling internally with some things and I’m just trying to stay positive and keep my feet on the ground so that I can be a reliable mother and a good friend to those that I care about. It’s been really tough.

With that said, I feel that I need to take time to just sort through my life, my passions, my commitments and just reflect and try to also figure out what direction I’d like to go with FTS. I have a lot of ideas but also feel like I’m contained within only the mediums that I’m allowed to work with. I struggle at times between being an artist and being a baker.

For those of you that I've already got on my calendar for orders through Christmas, you're still on my calendar. Other than that, I’ll be taking a hiatus for the rest of this year and indefinitely. I don’t know when I’ll be back and ready, but if and when I do, I’ll post here on this page.

Anyway, thank you all for everything! Ciao! ✌🏼💕🫂

Loved making this wedding cake, with the pops of the wedding colors including gorgeous copper accents and fresh little wild flowers placed throughout.
