Posts on my blog these days are like unicorns… Sparkly, special, and rarely seen! I have no extraordinary excuse, simply the busyness of life with kidlets. While I’m absolutely still baking, I’m doing so more for school bake sales, friends and family, and less for the purpose of blogging. It’s a little bit sad, but also a […]
Baby on Board! Sweet Surfing Baby Shower Cake
Though my blog may not reflect this, I’ve actually been really busy baking these days! In fact, I’ve been designing really fun cakes for some of my closest friends, which makes for the most rewarding baking of all. Pardon the lack of carefully staged photos.

Hummingbird Bundt Cake with Vanilla Bean Cream Cheese Frosting
So I’m a little (lot) embarrassed to say this, but after all of my hootin’ and hollerin’ about how great bundt cakes are a couple months back, I haven’t made one since!

DIY Furry Cat Birthday Cake
For Halloween my awesome munchkin Quinn hemmed and hawed about her costume, struggling to choose between a pink cat and a fairy princess (Princess Holly to be exact). Ultimately, she chose the fairy, so when her 4th birthday rolled around, she was ready for the pink cat to take center stage! This pink cat is 100 percent inspired […]
My Sweet Little Sprinkles Cake
This year for Mother’s Day, Ben made a lovely breakfast for Quinn and me, but sadly had to spend the rest of the day working on the landscaping. We’ve been remodeling our house for three years and we’re so dying to be done (and we nearly are, hallelujah!), so I was 100 percent okay with […]
