That’s From Scratch

Happy 17th birthday, Taylor. This cake was a huge challenge. Between creating the heart shape using a round pan and getting my buttercream jet black, I picked up some essential baking skills to use in the future. This cake looks simple but took two days. Everything was done by hand, including the number 17. We pride ourselves here because everything we do will always be

Last night, I jumped on the trendy tip and accepted an order for a similar cake like the one pictured (which is NOT my cake) - it’s a red velvet cake with jet black frosting and a vintage design with edible glitter. It’s for a local 17 year old and I couldn’t resist. I fell in love with the family and the idea. I haven’t accepted a trendy type cake in years. In fact, I stopped taking cake orders altogether because I wanted to teach baking as opposed to baking to order. But something always brings me back. Even if things with this client doesn’t work out, I think I’ve got the baking bug once again. is now taking orders on a limited basis. Reach out today to get a custom dessert that won’t break the bank. Nothing taste better than baked goods from scratch, made with love, sourced with local quality ingredients, by expert hands. The challenge, however, is getting the buttercream into that jet black color. I’ve decided I will use imported black cocoa for the color and burgundy Cocoa for the red velvet cake. It’s probably going to be one of the best ones I’ve ever baked.

I don’t post enough about my weight loss. Perhaps I try to forget about it but the truth is I was 350 pounds my entire life, until just a few years ago, and the idea of baking made me feel even more large. Even admitting that I love cake was an embarrassment.
I’ve lost over 210 pounds, and my love for Cake is still hanging around strong. That embarrassment is nothing but wasted energy and wasted time. I’m here to tell you from experience that you literally can bake your cake and eat it too. 
By the way, if you’d like to learn how, I can teach you. It’s why I started . I want people to learn that they can, and should eat the things that they love because losing weight and that “fat” mindset is a literal mind thing, not a fork to mouth thing. 
If you want to know about responsible baking, please reach out because I’d love to hear from you. Let’s have cake!!

My eggplant parm is a remake of Mom’s famous dish. When I was a kid, people would rave about my mom‘s eggplant but if I’m honest, I couldn’t stand it. I felt the eggplant became too mushy when it was soaked with all of the sauce. Know how to prep the vegetable properly, it can tend to be bitter. I have perfected a method to make easy, delicious, and dare I say healthy, Eggplant Parm Towers. It’s super simple and tastes like a fancy, expensive plate at any luxurious restaurant. This summer, I’m offering discounted classes on how to make perfectly crispy Eggplant in your own kitchen, using your existing equipment. Every class comes with a recipe you can wow your friends and family with any time you want. You’ll learn how to make a simple, fresh homemade tomato sauce to dollop on your towers. Classes are discounted to just $75 for a limited time, so book now before they fill up!

I finally learned about the rarest pasta in the world called Threads of God, or Su filindeu. It’s simple and authentically Italian! It’s heartbreaking to see such a unique form of edible art quickly dying off. Only five people in the world know the proper technique and coveted recipe. The tiny strands of semolina dough are stretched and pulled until there are precisely 256 hair-thin strands. They are then carefully laid out on a woven basket (only a handful of women know how to weave) in three layers. A warm lamb stock is typically ladled over broken up pieces and the dish is only served twice a year during a religious holiday. I’m determined to get my hands on that basket so I can make this delicate dish. It’s got me wondering what are some of the traditional dishes that only your family know how to perfect?
