Mario Kart

This has to be one of my favorite cakes ever! One of the best birthday cakes I think I've ever made and it was SO MUCH FUN!

I love cakes that really allow me to play with different frosting tips. I like cakes decorated with frosting so much better than fondant. They are just stress free, creative, fun!


Iced cookies

I've just started to dabble in cookie art because I was asked to decorate some cookies for a wedding. I had honestly never really done cookies so it took a little bit of studying. I really enjoyed it and would like to get better at it. So many amazing things you can do with cookies, who knew??

Here is a variety that I made for the wedding.


First wedding cake tasting

Guys, I did my very first wedding cake tasting! When the client asked, I wasn't even quite sure how to do it! She gave me a few flavor suggestions and then just asked to be surprised. I decided to present her with 6 different flavor combos. I wanted the frosting flavors
to be different too so that she could decide to mix and match the different frosting and cake flavors.

I thought they turned out really pretty and SO tasty.

  • Dark chocolate cake with double fudge frosting
  • Coconut angel food cake with a whipped coconut frosting
  • Lemon cake with a lemon cream cheese frosting
  • Caramel spice cake with cream cheese frosting
  • Chocolate strawberry cake with strawberry buttercream
  • French vanilla cupcake with vanilla buttercream

Minnie Mouse Birthday

I got to do a super fun cake and cupcakes for a Minnie Mouse birthday party a while back! I made everything the night before since it had to be delivered in the morning. Everything had turned out so cute and I was so excited to give it to the cute little birthday girl. That morning, I woke up to find that all of my Minnie Mouse cupcake ears had melted!! EEK! I had to hurry and make them again, this time with no fondant and all gumpaste so that they would dry quickly. Luckily, I had gotten up rather early that morning. They finished drying and I got the ears on just in time. The cake and cupcakes were a hit!
