I just wanted to let my customers know I am booked for the BSU Graduation in May. I've been booked for this since the beginning of January. I have received a lot of phone calls this past week from customers asking to place a graduation order. So, for my customers looking to place a graduation order you might want to call around before other places become booked.

After all of these years, I received my first order for a ballet themed cake. 🥰. When I delivered the cake the precious birthday girl was ready for her party and she was wearing her ballet outfit, tutu and all! So so cute!

Sometimes I will post something personal on my Vanilla Bean FB page. And today I have something very worthy of posting. My husband and I were just given permission to share this news on FB. We are going to be grandparents!! Little Miss Ellie will be making her debut in July. We are beyond giddy and thankful. We talk about her and think about her all of the time. When I pray for her I find tears of joy just start rolling down my face. Literally! So now we can add one more thing to our lifetime resumes..."first time grandparents". It has a nice ring to it doesn't it!?!🥰💖😍🎀

Valentine's Surprises are up for grabs! I have two small packages to choose from.

Just a few of my orders from the past few months that that I enjoyed doing. The cupcakes are for a BSU student that I’ve delivered to many times. She graduates this year and will be an elementary school teacher. 🥰📚

I had this fun order to do today. My goodness, it was such a hoot to make this cake. It feels like I've done a bazillion different types of cakes but this was the first time I had a request for a "painter's" themed cake.

For my BSU customers, I am excited to say I am about to release my Finals care package for dead week in December. I am working on it now and it is so much fun. Be looking for it within the next week or two. 🥰

I’m posting this for my BSU customers. Both of the locations mentioned in these articles are on or very near to the BSU campus. I think we all can agree that our current culture feels unhinged. Not fun to read these articles but I would want to be informed if my child was living in or near BSU. I’ve always told my customers that I was a BSU mom. And my oldest went to college on the other side of the country. I know how it can feel helpless when our child is at school out of state. I’ve always told my customers that are BSU parents and out of state that I’m am just a phone call away if their child has an emergemcy. This still holds true. All of you know my number but just in case it’s 832.465.4155.

This young lady is so sweet. I have literally delivered a birthday cake to her for the past four years. And 3 out of the 4 birthday cakes were designs I'd never done before. She was my first "golden birthday" order, my first "indoor plants/succulents" order and today she was my first "boho cake" order. And every single time I have delivered to her she lights up with delight when she sees her cake. I have the BEST JOB EVER!!

Made this gem for a guy who is a drummer, who loves hard rock and his favorite colors are red, black and gray. He turned 18 yesterday and I was so excited to deliver this one to him. Those are his 5 favorite hard rock bands represented on the cake. 🥰

Let Me Make You Something Special

I love making special things for others. I also love entertaining. For a few years now I’ve gone back and forth about starting some sort of bakery business. I’ve been married to my husband, Brian, for 25 years. I have three grown children. My son Austin, graduated from Ole Miss a year ago and married the love of his life, Madi, in January of this year. My other two children Bradley and Sarah Katherine, graduated from high school one year ago. A few months later one left to attend University of Idaho and the other moved to Boise State Univesity campus. We became a house divided and there I sat, an empty nester. With a generous amount of encouragement from my husband, I decided to pursue an idea that I had been entertaining for so long. The Vanilla Bean became my pursuit. The Vanilla Bean is a local business serving those who reside in the greater Boise area. I would love nothing more than to create thoughtful and unique baked goods for you and your loved ones.
