Ocean inspired cake

Here's another cake to conjure up some memories of the warm summer air, ocean mist and sand between your toes. I did some blue ombre waves around the outside, then topped it off with sanding sugar and hand painted fondant seashells! This is one of my favorite summer cakes, I think I've done to date.

zinnia + dahlia piped cupcakes

Here we are in January. The cold barren month that it is in PA. This post was screaming out to me  with it's bright colors and summer flowers, to be shared in a time when there is just snow, and even worse when there is just brown. These flowers are hand piped butter-cream flowers.  Free form that ended up looking very much like  dahlias or zinnias with their numerous grouping of petals. Some of my favorite flowers really! I hope these bring your heart some cheer in these frozen months to come!

Baby Shower Cake Roundup

I think 2014 might have been the year of the baby shower cake for me! Exciting times in my friends and customers lives! I thought it would be fun to do a cake round up like I did for little ones cakes a while ago. So if you are planning a baby shower for a loved one, coworker, or even yourself,  I hope these help inspire you!

Family Christmas 2014

Here's some highlights from our Christmas just the three of us and time with both of our families. Liam was pretty into Christmas this year and his spirit was contagious. We had a great time celebrating.

Making Christmas Cookies 2014

 After many weeks of Liam watching me make hundreds of cookies for Snacky French orders, we finally found some time one morning, right before Christmas to make our favorite sugar cookie cutouts. Liam was a great helper. He mixed, rolled and sprinkled like a champ.

50th Floral Birthday Cake

I go through stages where I neglect this space, sometimes for a month or two. Then I comeback, feeling inspired once again to share my cakes, baking projects and bits and pieces of our daily lives. I have about 6 drafts waiting to be published. I hope to be in this space more often, updating my work as a cake decorator. This was a cake I did a couple of months ago. It was for a dear friend's mother. She was turning 50. So I made her this butter-cream red velvet cake with flowers inspired from her wedding bouquet. In addition I did around a 100 rose swirled cupcakes! Thanks to my friends at Optika Photography for these photos of the cakes.
