Books. Cakes. Design.
Yesterday I posted Sam and Candace’s wedding guest book. Today, I’m featuring the books I made for their groomsmen.
I LOVE making lots of books at once. It’s so satisfying to make an entire collection, knowing that although they are alike, each book will be given a different home.
I made six books for Sam and Candace: [...]
Last year, I had the privilege of working through a 12-week program called The Artist’s Way with two amazing people, including Sam DuRegger. Because the journey of AW inspires you to take action in making your dreams come true, it’s no surprise that many things changed for the three of us in the group. My [...]
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 [...]
In September of 2009, I started a cupcake adventure. If you haven’t read about it yet, you can do so here.

I’m not sure why that is, but I’m probably one of the few artists you’ll ever meet who is able to be simultaneously creative and organized. In [...]
A very MERRY CHRISTMAS from our home to yours!
Do you ever lie awake at night, trying to fall asleep, but instead are bombarded with ideas for new projects, solutions, experiments to try? That happens to me often. (Or at least it did before I became pregnant a couple months ago. Now, the second my head hits the pillow, I’m pretty much out.)
The following [...]
I was asked to make a baby shower cake for Lyndi and her soon-to-arrive son, Dax.
The invitation was a mint green with brown and white polka dots, so I used that design as the inspiration for my cake. I made a two-tier cake (top tier vanilla, bottom tier chocolate) with classic buttercream icing tinted pale [...]

Last month, I offered to donate cupcakes to an event. Since I wanted them to have a nice variety of flavors (and because I promised myself I’d make all 113 recipes in the book), I decided to [...]
