🎮🍄 LEVEL UP: BIRTHDAY PARTY EDITION! ⭐🎉
I’ve been so excited to share this finished Mario-themed birthday set! ❤️💚 This one was such a fun order to bring together, from the cookies to the cake pops and, of course, the cake!
The birthday goodies included: 🍭 Confetti Cake Pops — all dressed up to match the theme
🍪 Vanilla Almond Sugar Cookies — with colorful Mario-inspired edible images
🍋 Three-Layer Lemon Cake — filled with a delicious raspberry filling
So many bright colors, fun little details, and sweet treats packed into one order! I absolutely love when I get to take a theme and carry it through the entire dessert table. 🍄⭐🎮
Happy Birthday to the birthday boy! I hope his day is filled with lots of fun, plenty of cake, and maybe a few extra lives! ❤️💚💙

Okay, y’all—last post for today! 😂 Only because I’m getting ready to get my butt to work, and afterwards I have LOTS to do!
If you haven’t already figured it out, the theme for this order is Super Mario! 🍄⭐
This order includes the cookies I’ve already shared, cake pops that I’m working on now, and of course…the cake! 🎂
I’m especially excited about this cake. I’ve already been working on some of the little details, and I have the whole design worked out in my head. Now I just need to bring it all together! Needless to say, I cannot wait to see the finished product—and share it with all of you!
Alright, off to work I go! 😂 Hope everyone has a great day! ❤️

🎮🍪 It’s-a me… COOKIE TIME! 🍪🎮
A little peek at what’s been keeping me busy! ❤️💚 These Super Mario cookies are almost too fun to eat… almost! 😂
So many different designs, so much color, and definitely a batch made for a true Mario fan! ⭐🍄🏁
Which one would YOU grab first? 👀

Good morning! I’ve been meaning to post this for several days and just keep forgetting. 😊
Just wanted to show you one of the many things you can do with my Sourdough Butter Top Hoagie Rolls. This one is an extremely FULL venison cheesesteak—and it was so good!
We’ve also sliced the rolls up and served them as bread alongside soup, made chicken subs, and so much more. That’s one of the reasons I’m really loving the Butter Top—they’re so versatile and work with just about anything.
I still love Sourdough Italian hoagie rolls, but depending on what you’re making, the Italian seasoning doesn’t always pair with everything. The Butter Top gives you a soft, buttery roll that can go in so many different directions.
So far, I think the Butter Top may officially be my favorite! ❤️🥖

Good morning everyone! ☀️ Just wanted to pop on real quick while I have cake baking and share a few flavor updates! 🎂🍭
Unfortunately, a few of the flavors I used to offer have had to retire because some of the ingredients are no longer available—or have become nearly impossible to find. But that just gave me an excuse to play around with some new combinations! 😋
🎉 FUNFETTI Confetti Bang will no longer be available, but I’ve added: • Funfetti Frosted Animal Cookie
• Cake Batter Sandwich Cookie Funfetti
☁️🍭 COTTON CANDY I used to make my cotton candy cake pops with Cotton Candy Oreos, but I haven’t been able to find them anymore. I could make cotton candy cookies from scratch just to crumble into the cake pops...but that’s a whole lot of extra work! 😂 So instead, I’m bringing back cotton candy with plenty of fun new options: • Classic Cotton Candy
• Frosted Animal Cookie Cotton Candy
• Cotton Candy Milkshake
• Cotton Candy Ice Cream
• Cotton Candy Frappe
• Cotton Candy Martini — for the adults! 😉
• Cotton Candy Lemonade
• Cotton Candy Bubble Gum
• Cotton Candy Jelly Bean
• Cotton Candy Sour Belts
And finally...because apparently I can’t leave raspberry alone. 😂❤️
🍓 RASPBERRY • Raspberry Champagne Wedding Cake
• Raspberry Almond Amaretto
• Raspberry Brown Butter
I think that gives everyone plenty of new flavors to choose from!
And perfect timing—the cake is officially out of the oven! Now it needs to cool, and later comes the fun part...squish, smash, roll, dip and decorate! 😂🍭
Have a great day everyone! ❤️

Good morning, everyone! 🎂🎉
Just wanted to share this last-minute three-layer vanilla birthday cake for a sweet little boy turning ONE! 🥳 His mom told me he loves colors, so we went with lots of colorful sprinkles—inside the cake and all around it. 🌈
I originally thought about making each cake layer a different color so there would be a big colorful surprise when they cut into it. But that would have meant using quite a bit more food coloring, and I remembered that his mom had ordered dye-free cookies from me last year. So I decided to keep the cake itself vanilla and let the sprinkles bring all the fun and color. 💙💚💛❤️
And when I say this cake was last minute, I mean LAST MINUTE! 😂 She messaged me Wednesday asking if there was any chance I could have a cake ready for Friday.
I always encourage everyone to book your cakes as far in advance as possible because my schedule can fill up pretty quickly—but that doesn't mean you shouldn't ask if you need something last minute! Sometimes things change and an opening pops up.
That's exactly what happened this week. The cake I originally had scheduled for this weekend—the Off to College cake—ended up being needed a week earlier, which suddenly left me with an opening. Funny enough, this little guy's cake was originally wanted for next week, when I'm already booked, but Mom's work schedule changed and they needed it this week instead.
Sometimes everything just falls into place! 😊
So here it is—three layers 8"of vanilla cake, lots of colorful sprinkles, and ready to help one colorful-loving little guy celebrate his FIRST birthday! 🎂🎈🥳
Happy 1st Birthday, little man! 💙
