There has not been a lot of time to take progress pictures throughout, so these posts are becoming more of the “what I did,” rather than the “how I did,” types. Super fun, uber cool, little 5 year old wanted a train cake… complete with a carved out track and all. And what do you … Continue reading
Another quick note on a cake that I worked on last week. This was a Breast of Luck Cake for a woman that has been diagnosed with breast cancer and is about to embark on the fight of [read: for] her life… starting with a double mastectomy. Her close friends threw a get together this … Continue reading
It’s been a while… more than a year to be exact. I’ve worked on projects throughout the year but it’s been more difficult to find the time to post about them. What’s the phrase – You can’t do it all, all of the time? Anyway, a very special little 4 year old needed a … Continue reading

There I am, jamming the “close door” button repeatedly, while I whisper “come on, let’s go, go, go” over and over again under my breath, which has been stolen from me by the 50-yard dash that would make my 3rd grade gym teacher shake her head at.

“Elementary, my dear Watson…” No, seriously… this is literally elementary. The recipe is written inside of a coloring-book-type turkey drawing: The recipe that I am about to share (or I guess I already did above) is one that you should keep for a long, long time. You might want to take visual note (or pretend … Continue reading
There it is ladies and gentleman… the queen bee to the hive; the sunshine to a beach day; the Kim Kar”ugh”ian to the land of all things inessential, unproductive and space-wasting… the center ring to a warm, ooey, gooey, cinnamon bun. You know exactly what I am talking about. Whether you are the type who starts … Continue reading
I’ve got dough on my mind all of the time today… and after a quick little knee surgery yesterday, I am stuck on the couch with the kitchen just out of my reach. Sigh. On a great note, I’ve been asked to bake doughnuts for a fall cider birthday party here in town; therefore, it … Continue reading
I recently had a friend in town (finally, as she probably felt) move into their new home… so what did I do? see above. so excited for them and wishing them all of the best in their new space! Decided to wrap these up in a shiny little bread pan with a new dish towel … Continue reading
I’m in deep, deep, deep trouble now… and it’s not just like taylor “fish” (as my kiddies call her – which is odd because she’s obsessed a little with cats – the two don’t mix) “I knew you were trouble” type trouble… no, no… this is your friends drank the bar and your mom is … Continue reading
