It’s always a pleasure to get a new client via referral. The following cake was requested by Therese, a friend of Amy’s.
Therese’s daughter Aden was having a birthday and wanted a leopard print cake. So, I set out to find a great pattern I could recreate in royal icing.
I spent several hours piping icing into [...]

A while back, the lovely Felicia asked me to make cupcakes for a baby shower. A friend of hers at work was expecting a baby girl, and the whole office wanted to celebrate.
I made 48 cupcakes: two dozen vanilla and two dozen chocolate. The guest of honor loves cream cheese icing, so that was my [...]

I made a sheet cake and two 6″ round cakes (guess why) and designed a [...]

Back in January, I had the honor of making a shower cake for my dear friend Crystal, who was expecting her first child, a baby-girl she and her husband named Lynley Kate.
For the color scheme, I stuck with the hues Crystal had selected for Lynley’s nursery: raspberry pink, brown, and two shades of green.

…wait…no, it’s not! But that doesn’t mean it’s too early to start thinking about Christmas and all the gifts you’ll be buying for your loved ones!
Why not invest in a unique, hand-crafted book that will easily become a treasured keepsake? For this holiday season, I’m offering two options: Custom or Collection

I was provided with a plate that was the inspiration for [...]
