Congratulations Eileen & Jim!

I want to give a big shout out to I am lucky enough to have Sara work with me on so many of our cakes. And can you believe those roses? She made them! With her hands! How crazy is that? (I pride myself on making really nice flowers, but those defy reason)

This is a story of a cake that was made in New York but needed to travel to Atlanta, I’ve done this before no big deal… OK I was wrong, it was a big deal lol! But really this is a story about how friends can make all the difference in the moment when everything seems like it’s going to fall apart:
I usually fly JetBlue where the overhead is level so you can separate the tiers and pack the decorations carefully and have them travel safely in boxes in the overhead. This time I flew Delta, and I could see as soon as I got onto the plane that, Atlanta, we have a problem. The overhead bins close at a 45° angle, not at all how you want a cake to sit for a few minutes, let alone for a couple of hours. Figured out a NOT at all ideal solution and then texted a baker friend before the plane took off, really just to vent, my only expectation was have someone hear my woes.
But while I was in flight she researched and reached out to cake shops and bakeries and friends in Atlanta who might be able to help me if when I got off the plane things really went sideways (somehow they did not).
Not only that but I found out one of my nephews and his girlfriend was on the same flight (it was a family wedding) and they sprung into action like a police motorcade protecting things every step of the way. I absolutely could not have done this by my self!!
I really wanna acknowledge the amazing friends family and strangers who pitched in my heart is honestly overflowing with love for you guys! THANK YOU!

Caramelized vanilla crunch cake, chocolate ganache buttercream covered in dark chocolate ganache. It’s covered in Satin Ice yellow fondant mixed with yellow modeling chocolate and white tropical fondant. The handle was made with a sugar paste core covered in the same yellow fondant mixture (this experiment did not work out as well as I had hoped, the very solid gum paste completely softened up and wilted once it was covered in fondant and put in the refrigerator, if you look closely in the video you can probably see it moving with a gravitational pull) 😂

Victorian cake styles seem to be a perennial favorite. It goes away for a while but always come back again with its flourishes and fleur-de-lis‘s. I’m a pretty big fan both from a straight up beautiful take and a tongue-in-cheek perspective.
In honor of and leading up to the premiere of one of my favorite TV shows which will feature at least a little glimpse of a big fat Victorian cake we did, I hear by would like to incite a vintage cake review through the decades and today in my stories and invite you to be be part of it with me 💝

Fun ♥️ Valentine’s Day heart shaped cupcake trick. I love the smell of chocolate cake baking! This is one of my favorite simple no-special-tools-needed cupcake hacks using a regular cupcake pan, liners and rolled up pieces of aluminum foil.
After the cupcakes have baked and cooled off completely, I piped buttercream on top and then dipped (most of them) in fun and fancy sprinkles:
Fishs Eddy Amy Sedaris Sprinkles with “I like you” candy on top and Sprinkle Pop Shop sprinkles.
💖For another look you could make geometric heart shaped candy shells as toppers to go on top of the butter cream. These are made from pouring melted candy melts into silicone molds, letting it sit and cool for a bit and then pouring out some of the chocolate onto wax paper so that the candies are hollow and can be filled with butter cream on top of the cupcake.
I dusted the hearts with some luster dust to give them sparkly finish. (you can find the 8 grid diamond heart molds on Amazon)

Cakeify your game! Who remembers Skylanders? (Very possible that if you’ve got a teenager now, you might remember, I know we do!)

I see cakes as a thank you, as a kind of award/loving cup, and a way of saying congratulations on achieving something wonderful, for being an inspiration.
The fact that I would become completely obsessed with a Celebrity Memoir Book Club podcast, and feel that it had gotten me through some really rough spots in the last two years, had made me laugh, made me cry and learn some really great life lessons is kind of wild to me. (Particularly because I’ve had jobs in publishing, network TV and comedy clubs that have often put me in direct contact with celebrities, and I apparently have some sort of celebrity-brain-freeze-syndrome, where my ability to function seems to wither and die.) lol?
But because of Chelsea‘s wit, humor, graciousness and vulnerability that’s exactly what happened.
She has this magical way of creating this sense that we are all really connected with her listeners and she seems to have time to connect directly with and appreciate everyone.
It’s also no coincidence that one of my closest friends Donna ♥️ who has all of those same qualities and gifts brought me to the podcast, and getting to share it with her has been pretty delightful!
Chelsea did a live show in New York City recently and we got to present her with this cake and presenting it in a room full of people who fell the same way about her, I really felt like this was from all of us and was just a symbolic representation of all of our love and gratitude.
Congratulations on everything ! ♥️

I’m still daydreaming about this excellent birthday gift from Cake Power - Kate Sullivan 🎂 Thank you! 💕

READ |

“Power to Kate Sullivan’s Magnificent Cakes” written by Kathleen Willcox.

When Oprah Winfrey and Martha Stewart think you’re the best, you know you’re on the right track. Kate Sullivan’s Cake Power - Kate Sullivan rose to fame not only because her confections are so darn delish, but because they look like hyper-real conceptual art projects. In this story, Kate spills the sweet secret to her towering success, which includes cross-pollination of different disciplines (think painting, welding, engineering, fashion design, ...) and working solid 12-hour days on the regular...but remembering balance is key (yes, you can have your cake and eat it, too!).

Kate says, “I love that cake’s impermanent, that it exists as a gift to acknowledge and celebrate a milestone in someone’s life. I love that you can smell, touch, taste, and see it, but that it’s gone in a moment and hopefully is part of a lasting memory of love and affection.”
