(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 just wanted to quickly post a picture of a cake I made a couple of weeks ago. It was for a welcome home party for a lovely lady who (surprise surprise) just returned from….India! I took a bajillion pictures of the entire cake making process and will post them along with some more details [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
