I am seeing more and more weddings that feature cupcakes for guests and a tier or two of wedding cake for the couple to use for the ceremonious cutting. I decided a long time ago that when I get married, I’m going to have an elaborate 2 tiered, smaller cake and then several cupcakes for […]

So I had sort of sworn off gumpaste flowers… I bought tons of tools and cutters and made several flowers- all of which didn’t quite look like the flowers I was seeing on the cake decorating websites and I got discouraged and lost interest.

I always love this time of year because you can decorate cupcakes and cakes with all kinds of spooky treats like spiders, rats etc. And spider webs are so easy to make! You just ice your cake/cupcakes with chocolate icing, pipe on a few circles (inside each other) and then run a knife from the […]

And then I made an anniversary cake for a co-worker. He allowed me to play around with the design. I thought about using gumpaste flowers… but I ended […]

I was a VERY happy baker this weekend. Why? Because Virginia Tech dominated Miami – something very few saw coming, 31 – 7. We are now sitting comfortably in the #6 positon in both the AP Top 25 poll as well as the USA Today poll. Enough about football – but the moral of the […]

I came across these cupcakes by Wildflower Bread Company (via twitpic) in Arizona and loved the idea! As you may or may not know, I’m a Zeta Tau Alpha Alum and our philanthropy is Breast Cancer Awareness and Education. Needless to say, I am very passionate about the cause and spent several hours raising money […]
