“Pride and Prejudice” Book Cake

Written on September 29, 2011 at 6:02 PM, by

It’s been a while since I’ve done any really hard-core cake decorating. And with a new little bean coming in less than 8 weeks (yikes) it could be several months before I tackle another project like this. But let’s not rule out the possibility that I could lose my mind and take on something ridiculousContinue Reading

As far as events go, nothing wins the prize for the highest concentration of cuteness in a single place at a single time quite like a baby shower.

In the last few weeks, I haven’t been able to browse the food blog world without feeling like the girl who got picked last in gym class. Why? Because these days everyone is blogging about barbecues and picnics and homemade ice cream out on the porch at dusk. Meanwhile, Utah somehow got stuck in March.Continue Reading

Tron Light Cycle Cake

Written on March 16, 2011 at 4:50 PM, by

Am I allowed to make a Tron cake if I’ve never seen Tron? Well, I did anyway. I’m still not entirely sure what these bikes are supposed to actually look like, but after lots of time staring at Google Images and grilling my husband, who hasn’t seen the new Tron, but knows everything about theContinue Reading

Birthdays may not be a big deal to some people. But when the man I love sticks with me for another ride around the sun, I feel pretty lucky. Even when he goes and requests a complicated birthday cake. Happy birthday to my sweet husband.

Christmas Sugar Cookies

Written on December 20, 2010 at 5:19 PM, by

Each December I wonder if I’d be happier in my kitchen or away from it. Today, for instance, might have been a good day to kick back and watch the snow fall with a mug of hot chocolate and a good book. Leisurely wrap a few gifts. No dirty dishes. Plenty of counter space. SweetContinue Reading

Eiffel Tower Cake

The only thing crazier than building the Eiffel Tower? Building it out of sugar. Okay, so my royal icing version was only eight inches tall. But still. . .  (By the way, click over here for the tower tutorial) This cake was chocolate on the inside. I never seem to get tired of the sameContinue Reading

I’ve learned something in the past couple of months. And that is that a working camera is a rather integral part of food blogging. *Ahem* If you’re reading this, you can pat yourself on the back and feel good about the fact that you are one of the few and strong who haven’t ditched myContinue Reading

Engagement Cake

Written on July 20, 2010 at 1:43 PM, by

The title of this post should actually be “How a Cake Broke my Heart.” I didn’t get enough time to love this cake. Or take decent photos, really, but that’s beside the point. I had just declared it finished and whipped out my camera. Then the doorbell rang, and it was time for my darlingContinue Reading
