I got to make such a fun birthday cake yesterday! Top cake was chocolate with vanilla buttercream, bottom cake was vanilla with vanilla buttercream. The “dirt” was cake scraps rolled in cocoa powder and confectioner’s sugar. I love making the creative design’s y’all come up with! 💙

Here it is friends! 🎉

I asked, y’all answered! The top 4 winners of the poll were Chocolate covered strawberries, bento box for 2, heart shaped cinnamon rolls, and macarons! 🎉

I decided to choose 6 things to make so y’all would have a bit more variety and price ranges to choose from! I’m so excited for all of these and hope y’all enjoy them! These are all available now through Valentine’s Day - my books will fill up so orders are taken on a first come, first serve basis. Deposit of 10% applies to each order - deposit confirms for order will be made and ready in time! 💝

Valentine’s menu gets released today at noon! 🎉 I can’t wait for y’all to see it! 💙

Hey guys, after 4 spam posts back to back today bringing my true rating of 5 stars down to a false rating of almost 3, I’m disabling ratings until Facebook can get this issue resolved. This is a horrible time of year for my account to be getting hit in this way, and I promise you my reviews are actually 5 stars if you read the real ones 🥺😭 I’m very frustrated that this isn’t being resolved quicker, but there’s not much else I can do. I’ve tried blocking these people but they’re all new accounts with all the same wording and profile pictures. Some of these accounts are only 9 minutes old so I literally cannot block all of the new profiles making these false reviews. Thank you all, always, for all that you do and all of your support. I’m so very grateful for all of y’all! 💙

I’ve also seen quite a few new faces liking the page - thank you all so very much! I hope to be able to bake for all of y’all some day! 💙 I truly have the best customers and I’m so thankful for all of y’all!

Hey guys! Apparently some spam bots got on my page and started giving me negative reviews because my page is “not verified” and I need to “click their link” to verify. These are very obviously scams and I’m working with Facebook to get these false review removed. If you have time today and if you’ve ever gotten an order from me, it’d mean the world to me for you to leave an honest review! These two are clearly not real.

Thank you all for always being the best! 💙

🟣🟡🟢👑 King Cake 👑🟢🟡🟣

This is it y’all!! I made these cakes the other day to be sure I had the recipe I liked the most, and these were perfect! 😋 Best yet - most king cakes have boring plastic babies, these cakes will have shiny, metallic babies! 🎉 Mardis Gras is all about richness after all.

There will be two different king cakes offered, both the same size just different fillings

•Classic Cinnamon King Cake $35

• Classic Cream Cheese Filled King Cake $38

Both cakes will include one baby and be around 10” in diameter. The actual size may be a little larger or smaller as it’s a yeast dough base.

Fat Tuesday is February 13th! In order to guarantee a king cake by Feb 13th, all orders must be in by Feb. 10th. Trust me, you don’t wanna miss out on these! 😍

Happy New Year, a day late, y’all!

Last year was overall amazing! I was honored to be able to bake for so many of y’all and I can’t wait for all of the fun orders this year has to offer.

Watch the page for an announcement about a new fun product I’ll be offering until Valentine’s Day!

Also, tomorrow I’ll be opening a poll for which products y’all would lIke to see me offer for Valentine’s Day! I’ll start the poll with 8 items that I’ve been thinking about offering - whichever 4 win the poll by Monday the 8th will likely be the products I’ll be offering!

Finally, I’m working on an official full-time menu. I have a basic one on my Bakesy shop, but y’all deserve something prettier to look at!

Here’s to 2024 and all it has to offer! Thank you guys in advance - I know this will be another great year! 💙

Hey Friends!

I have a few exciting updates to share! First, I officially have a website that you can order from! Simply click the link below, or the one attached to my profile, and then press “Start Order”. The website is excellent about prompting questions about your order to shorten the back-and-forth that comes with messaging. I’m looking forward to better and more effeciently serving my customers with this service! 🎉 Second, I still haven’t fully completed the Holiday menu, but I PROMISE I’ll have it released tomorrow by noon! If not everyone gets a free cookie. 😅 Finally, I have added these goodie boxes to my Bakesy site! They’ll be available year-round and they’re more shelf stable than some of the other things I offer. These are perfect for gift giving, snack tables, and others of the like! I do have some Christmas specific ones I’ll be posting this weekend! 💙 Below are the details of the goodie boxes!

Mixed Goodies Boxes

*These are PERFECT for office managers needing gifts for business reps, casual holiday parties, a gift for the mail carrier that has delivered your 18,000th Amazon package this year, and the list goes on and on! 😅
