Some of the most important women in my life are gardeners. I am not. In fact, you might say I have a black thumb. I bet if you gave me enough time, I could even find a way to kill an artificial plant. But then again, that’s not what this post is about.
No, this post [...]

Not long ago, I found the cutest fabric in Hobby Lobby:

After my mom and I spent some time hashing out ideas, she created this cute maternity top for me:

And it fits The Bump and I perfectly!

Tomorrow, I will be 33 weeks pregnant. If my mom’s prediction of Baby’s arrival time (read: early!) turns out to [...]

One of my good college buddies, Geoff, and his wife Cheyenne are among the many friends I have who are becoming parents this year. They are incredibly talented photographers and designers, so it came as no surprise that they planned a special party to announce their baby’s gender.
When they had their ultrasound, they had the [...]

My buddies Stephen and Melissa are huge fans of Lost, so it made perfect sense for Stephen to have a Lost-themed 33rd birthday party. Melissa asked me to make the cake and suggested that the Dharma logo would be perfect.
Admittedly, I’ve never seen a single episode of the show, but I do have the power [...]

What could this be? A lovable cartoon character’s face? A dice game? A polka-dot cake?

It’s…a bowling ball!!

And no bowling ball would be complete without pins! M was going to celebrate her 4th birthday by going bowling with her friends, and M’s mom called me to request a bowling themed cake.

It’s always a pleasure to get a new client via referral. The following cake was requested by Therese, a friend of Amy’s.

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 think we’d all admit that no kid’s birthday is complete without a theme cake, right?
Well, who better to help you turn this age…

…than this superhero?!

Amy contacted me for some party/gift giving help. 1: she wanted to have a custom journal made for a gift. 2: her son was turning four and only likes Spider-Man. [...]

A couple years ago, I made a 1st birthday cake with a Rockstar theme. I recently got a request to do another guitar cake–for a girl this time–a girl that was having a Hannah Montana party.
Naturally, after being cut to the correct shape, girls’ cakes start with a base coat of pink icing:

I added details [...]

“Butterfly in the skyyyyyy…I can fly twice as hiiiiiiiigh.
When I bake, I make a cake….an eating rainbowwww”
Okay, so it’s a Reading Rainbow, not an Eating Rainbow, but I couldn’t resist…I had to get your attention somehow!
This is one of the first cakes I made in my Wilton decorating class. The pattern was cheesy, [...]
