Happy December! And, Happy Holidays!! I had the pleasure of creating a cake for a friend of mine at church who is teaching a bible study to the college girls through Proverbs 31.

I have a new addiction! – cake stands! As I look around for inspiration and ideas for cakes, I’ve come across various cake stands and ways of presenting cakes. There is the typical fondant covered boards (yes, the ones I use), plexi-glass (which I actually like because the cake looks like it’s floating), funky stands […]

I thought I’d post a picture of an upcoming cake…I might make this a tradition since I always design and sketch out my cakes before I make them. There is tons of pre-planning involved before I even turn my oven on! So, this will give you blog stalkers something to look forward to seeing in […]
