I have had lots of calls and messages about adding cake orders this week, so I need to tell you all that we cannot add more…because I’m at Disney in FL with my daughter! My amazingly talented ladies are at the bakery this week making this possible for me to navigate this dream-come-true vacation. 🥰

Please note: there will be no new orders accepted for this week, and if you are sending messages or calling about orders for after June 14, it may take me some time to get back to them!

If you are curious about what we are doing in FL, I would love to tell you! We are spending three days at Disney parks, and then one day at Universal so we can see our favorite Harry Potter attractions. Then we are driving over to Rosemary Beach to visit the twins that I delivered via surrogacy, and their beautiful family. They will be 6 years old in Sept!!

We took this photo last night at The Cake Bake Shop by Gwendolyn Rogers and had one of the besssstttt slices of chocolate mousse cake 🤪

One of the most important questions I have ever asked you: do you have your order in for that summer birthday or shower cake/desserts? I know it’s crossed your mind and you’ve been meaning to send in your order!!

I really do feel bummed when I have to turn someone down for ordering last minute when we have filled up 🫣

When your dessert is a show-stopping centerpiece, or designed to enhance the party decor, we are not just “bakers.”

We are designers, creators, engineers, and dreamers. Emphasis on the creators and dreamers…we believe that there is joy in the art, and there is still a place in the world to make memories over dessert 💕

P.S. whoever told you that people don’t eat dessert at weddings WAS WRONG 🫠🤪

This gal right here is the current OG employee of Little Sweets: Mary! To some of you, she needs no introduction. She has been in the cake universe longer than myself. (How many years has it been, Mary?!)

Little Sweets was a wee little bakery with 1 employee back in 2020, and I remember 2 things vividly: I know exactly where I was sitting when I saw Mary's work online for the first time. I was blown away and I thought - damn I have some work to do!! The 2nd memory is the HyVee aisle I was standing in when she sent me a message asking if I was hiring when I moved into the Milan location. I thought, are you serious?! She wants to work with ME? I fan-girled and then we met, and the rest is cake history.

When you work so closely with someone this long there is a friendship that isn't fleeting. We have been with each other in our worst and best times and still find grace and love for each other. There was a year where she explored some other employment options, but never fear, she is back and in action!

Our customers are always extremely impressed by her attention to detail and there is a large group of people that continue to order from us because they ordered from Mary before she came work here. With Mary, and all our other employees, there are countless hours and tired bodies behind the finished product you get to enjoy. The longer I own a bakery, the more I realize that this industry is not like others. We are mass producing commissioned art and we have to make it delicious on top of that! Exhausting. This is why I need the gals I have. They are LITERALLY the best!

Pro tip: you should subscribe to her YouTube page because you might see a tutorial on the decorating of a cake you ordered! www.youtube.com/

Questions for Mary!
1. If you could decorate the same cake design every day, what would it be?
"Horizontal buttercream texture...jk! Anything with modern textures and edible modern decorations. Or totally opposite with shabby chic flowers, ruffles, lace."

2. What's your favorite moment in the bakery since you started working here?
"Almost every day laughing until your face changes, you know, the ugly laugh!"

3. How you feel when someone says, "you must have so much fun playing with cake all day!" ?
"Yes, yes i do! And by the way... it is a lot of work!"

4.If you could see one cake trend banned forever, what would it be?
"Horizontal buttercream texture" (sorry guys, we do it a lotttttt 😆🥹)

5. What song would play every time you walked into your shift?
"The one the face!" (So, there is this song with a lyric 'anyone can tell you you're pretty' and the face Mary makes is pee-your-pants hilarious. Guess if it's pretty or not 😂!)

6. If your bakery life was a reality show, what would it be called?
"Sugar Coated Life" or "Daily Temptations" (lol)

7. What has kept your passion going all these years in the business?
"Something hard to put into words. The creativity and the friendships."

P.S. this post was too long for Insta, oh well! I can't take anything out!
