I have many close ties to service individuals – my dad was Air Force for 20 years, both sets of grandparents were military, my uncle use to be Fire/Rescue and now does Arson investigations, my brother was Army, and of course my hubby was Army. I know how hard they work & how often their [...]
I got a call from a client today asking about wedding cake prices. I immediately started asking her questions about date, location, etc. She seemed slightly hesitant and finally said that the cake was for a quinceanera. For a second, I had a moment of “oh no!” because I honestly did not know much about [...]
I know there are a lot of vegans and vegetarians here in Austin, and more people are choosing that way of life everyday. So I started wondering what kinds of baked goods and cakes were available to that group. I would love to have several vegan options for birthday and wedding cakes. And I think [...]

So I’m officially married! My hubby is so fantastic! Its fun to be married. The wedding was as close to perfect as you can get. All of our family was there which was very special. And my brother got to come (who I haven’t seen in about three or so years) – he is on [...]

This was for a 5 year old’s birthday party. His mom said he loves Josh Hamilton and we decided a jersey and hat would be perfect for him! I gave her our frosting and cake flavor list and he picked out chocolate cake with cream cheese frosting (Delicious!!). I liked the combo so much I [...]
I made this pumpkin shaped cake for a customer who needed a cake for her child’s school Halloween party. It was chocolate chip cake with vanilla buttercream frosting. I was trying to decide how I wanted to do the face and I had about ten ideas!!! And I couldn’t decide and googled pumpkin images to [...]
This cake was donated to the Spicewood Community Center for their annual Halloween Festival. They have a cake walk every year and asked if we would be willing to provide a cake for it and of course I said yes! It was Red Velvet with cream cheese frosting – which I thought was appropriate for [...]
