🌊 ONEder the Sea 🐙🐢

This one was extra fun to make because it was for my great-nephew’s first birthday! 💙

Under all those little sea creatures is a buttermilk cake with vanilla American buttercream, decorated for his ONEder the Sea birthday.

Let's talk about fondant for a minute. 😂 If you’ve followed me for any amount of time, you’ve probably heard me say I HATE FONDANT. I don’t like the way it tastes, and I don’t want to put something on a cake just because it looks pretty if nobody actually wants to eat it.

So… I made my own.

The octopus topper, little turtle, seaweed, shells and all of those tiny underwater details were hand-sculpted with my homemade marshmallow fondant. And I have to admit something I never thought I’d say:

This fondant is actually GOOD. 😂

Soft, marshmallowy and something I’m perfectly happy putting on one of my cakes.

Now, before anybody gets any ideas, I’m still not covering an entire cake in fondant. We’re not there yet. 🤣 Plus, i love the small imperfections in a cake covered in buttercream that lets you know it was handcrafted.

Everything you see is edible except the “One” plaque and the gold and iridescent balls.

I had so much fun sculpting all the little details and watching this underwater world come together.

Happy FIRST birthday to my sweet great-nephew! 🐙🐢🌊

ONE year down and an entire ocean of adventures ahead. 💙

This chocolate caramel cake went to a returning customer, and there’s a little more to it than what you see in the picture.

She had once told me about a chocolate cake her mom made when she was a little girl. Her mom would melt Kraft caramels, mix them with sweetened condensed milk, and use that as the filling.

So when her husband ordered her cake, I wanted to give her that familiar chocolate and caramel combination, but keep it true to my bakery and how we do things.

If you’ve followed my bakery for any length of time, you’ve probably heard me say it over and over:

I don’t take shortcuts.

This cake started with my scratch made gluten free chocolate cake. No seed oils, the cake was made with avocado oil and butter.

For the filling, I made a small batch of my homemade caramel. Then, because she is trying to greatly reduce lactose, I made sweetened condensed milk from scratch using lactose-free milk. I combined the two to create the caramel filling inspired by the cake her mom used to make.

She also told me she didn't want much buttercream and would be perfectly happy without it. But I believe a cake should be beautiful and delicious. So I mixed a little of that homemade caramel into buttercream, used only what I needed to hold everything together, scraped the sides down to a naked finish, and added just enough on top to make it feel like a celebration.

That is what you’re paying for when you order from me.

I cannot compete with a cake from a grocery-store.I couldn't (we have completely different products, and I don't want to.

I make things in small batches. I make the components from scratch. I choose ingredients intentionally. I accommodate my customers where I reasonably can.

Sourdough Chocolate Chip Cookies made with a blend of whole wheat flour and regular unenriched flour. The cookie dough is fermented to give you similar digestion benefits of sourdough bread. But these cookies are indulgent, dont let what i just typed out fool you!

At first, you taste a chewy and cakey Chocolate chip cookie (heavy on the chocolate chip) then at the end, the sourdough provides a depth of flavor that only it can give. It is sweet with a hint of tang at the end. Have you ever had sourdough cookies?

No tomatoes were harmed in the making of this hyper-realistic cake! These were so much fun to make. I made and posted the first one and had someone reach out and order one, so i got to make 2 of these pizza cakes! The only fondant is the pepperoni. The cheese is chocolate. Now i want pizza 🍕 😩

Izzy and I made these today. Snickerdoodles. Crispy around the edges and chewy in the middle.

I didnt have a snickerdoodle until i entered my 40's and began reall6 baking for myself. I was always Intrigued though, by them.

At one point, my mom's brother (Uncle Steve) was going to open a coffee shop. He had ordered a bunch of coffee to figure out what coffee he would serve and his "signature" coffee.

The flavor he chose for his signature was snickerdoodle. It was the best coffee id ever had. I was around 10. He never opened his coffee shop and i harassed him for years because i wanted more snickerdoodle coffee! I didn't get it.

So, one of the first cookies i ever made for myself was snickerdoodle. I love the texture and i am a absolute stan for cinnamon.

I let izzy be in charge of making these cookies today. I stayed quietly behind her unless she asked for guidance. She knocked it out of the park! Have you had a snickerdoodle? They are amazing.

When i look at this cake, i Imagine Marie Antoinette wandering the halls of Versailles, mourning the death of her husband.

I LOVE this cake. I LOVE the drama and the mood. I have worked on my drop lines (the ones draped from the top and bottom) for a over year. They are not easy to achieve, but i figured out a way. The vintage Lambeth style cake is my very favorite and those drop lines have held me back. I cannot wait for a bride to ask me to do a whole wedding cake in this style.

Also, note, you not have to have black teeth when eating black buttercream! We can use black cocoa powder that taste like oreo! Yum! It cuts down on the dye by 85%.

Note 2. This style cake uses ALOT of buttercream. Some of you do not like a lot of icing and i dont understand you.

I have been in the bakery ALL week and i really needed it. Time to reset, do things ive been wanting to do, experiment.

Making edible lace has been on my experiment list and it turned out phenomenal. The lace can be dyed just like icing. I flavored it with vanilla.

I originally planned on doing something bridal... wouldn't the lace be beautiful for a bridal shower? But i (for me) gravitate towards moody colors and decided to decorate it as such.

We just finished up our school year last week which means i have a few weeks to work on things that i have really wanted to do. Example: these adorable Mini Pound Cakes! I found the adorable mini bundt cake tins in a thrift shop and knew immediately what i would do!

I made my poundcake in them! The tins are thin and i set them on a pan before puttting in the oven to cook the little darlings. This made the pound cake incredibly soft and tender. Then i glazed them while still warm. When they cool off and the glaze hardens and you take a bite, they quiet literally melt in your mouth. It is still the same pound cake, but the whole experience is different and my body involuntarily started dancing as soon as i took a bite 😆

For prospective, these are a little more cake than my cupcakes in the tulip liners. They would be adorable for showers with tiny rosettes pipes onto them, or Christmas gifts for coworkers, teachers while individually packaged with christmas sprinkles or red and green buttercream streamers.

These are NOT my cakes! This is my wishlist!

I would LOVE to decorate cakes inspired by these insanely creative bakers!

So, if you order a cake and allow me to create a cake inspired by any of these, i will give you 20% off. The cake must be ordered this month (august) but it can be scheduled for anytime within the next 6 months. Please note, that the first cake, i want to use the color scheme specifically with the vintage lambeth style!

DM me to chat about it!!
