(2/366) My temple holds an auction as a fundraising event each year and so far my annual contribution has been a custom cake. Last year I made a ladybug cake for a sweet little first birthday cake. This year’s cake was for a birthday as well. I was given very specific instructions from an almost-seven-year-old [...]

I made this monkey cake a couple of weeks ago. It was during that week of so much cake baking that I forgot how to spell words and stay awake. Seriously, I don’t know what my problem is. The other day I went to bed at 8:30 PM. 8:30! If you ask Andrew he’ll tell [...]

Ha, it just took me three tries to write the word “revealed”. No promises on the quality of the spelling in this post. Now, where were we? Oh yes, cake. I mean CAKE. I mean CAKE!!!!!!!!!!! Last weekend was a cake extravaganza for me. Somehow I wound up with three cakes. Ok, not somehow, I [...]

(Haha, the hilarious thing about this post is that I actually typed it up last night in the midst of my cake making stupor. And then because I was in such a stupor, I forgot to actually post it. Update though, all cakes are completed and delivered!) Seriously folks, I’m up to my elbows in [...]

Are you all fans of I Love Lucy? Back in the day, I Love Lucy was broadcast on Nick at Night. Does Nick at Night still exist? Oh, apparently it does. And looking at the website…oh geez, I feel old. I remember watching Nick at Night and seeing shows like I Love Lucy and I [...]

Haha, oh right, I make cakes. Seems like I forgot about that. And in a sense, cake making has not been at the top of my list of priorities right now. Between the moving and the traveling and the nursing of knee-surgery patient, I haven’t been doing a lot of baking. But I did make [...]

Oh my goodness. I survived this past weekend. It was a whirlwind of activity, excitement, friends, fun, and The Jackster. That’s right, my mom came to town. Friday started with me attempting to burn my kitchen down while making a carrot cake. It ended with me picking up The Jackster at the airport and making [...]

Hey look, I made a cake! I know it’s been a while and it feels good to be back. As you may have figured out, it was for a first birthday. The cake itself wasn’t too complicated, but this was one of my more pleasurable cake decorating experiences in a while. Sometimes I forget just [...]

Hey there, what’s up? Look, I made a cake! It’s been a while, I know. I’ve missed it. I’ve missed kneading the fondant. I’ve missed icing the cakes. I’ve missed the last minute panicking when something inevitably falls apart. But I’m back! Life is starting to settle down again so maybe I’ll have some time [...]

The baby blocks are back! They’re almost square and kinda cute and this time they have Hebrew letters! Yup, I free-handed those puppies myself. Bonus points to anyone who can read what they say. There were supposed to be only six blocks, but apparently my engineering background and long years of higher education left me [...]

Right, so in real life I’m an engineer. I work for a company and we build spacecraft. No joke. In college I worked on a satellite. It’s called CUSat and it’s supposed to go to space. No joke. This is a CUSat cake. We’re going to launch it on a brownie rocket. No joke. OK, [...]
