I did it! I made my first wedding cake! I thought I was being all smart by getting an early start baking the cakes. The cakes were all baked by Wednesday. The cakes would have been baked earlier, but I had a terrible issue with cake overflowing, cake burning, me standing in front of the [...]

Geez, it seems like with the week we’ve had, posting something about cakes or cookies or brownies just wouldn’t cut it. Except that the week we’ve had seems a lot more exciting on paper than it was in reality. For me at least. Perhaps I was just fortunate to be in the right place at [...]

The Darster made it for some occasion, perhaps a birthday, a graduation, or maybe a Saturday, but regardless this cake left an impression on me. [...]

Oh hey! Have a good Christmas? Do anything exciting over the holiday? See a good movie and eat some Chinese food? I did all of those things. Except eat Chinese food. I did eat Beef Wellington though. It was my first Beef Wellington experience and has confirmed my suspicions that the basis of British food [...]

Cake. I suppose this website is called Simmiecakes. Because I make those from time to time. Admittedly, it’s been a while, but this past weekend I had a real reason to put my skillz (yes, my madd skillz) to use. My cube neighbor, Jeff, threw a big ol’ shindig for his parents’ 50th anniversary this [...]
