minecraft cake 2.0
the same weekend i made the rosette graduation cake, i also made a minecraft cake for lochlyn, hazel’s old bff, from our homeschool co-op, from way back in the pre-covid days. lochlyn’s mom gave me free reign, so i showed her this cake i made for isaac’s 8th birthday, and she liked it so it […]
graduation rosette cake.
i recently had a barrage of cake orders. a barrage, i tell you.really, i only had three, but i’m still always slightly stressed out about each and every cake, so this was all i thought about for a few weeks. firstly, my pal heather, whose daughters my girls adore, requested a graduation cake for her […]
a chicken cake for a chicken whisperer.
it’s no secret that theannababy loves chickens. so, obvioiusly, for her 12th birthday, she requested a chicken cake. we researched the internet and gained much inspiration and decided that we (by we i mean i) would make several fondant chicken figurines and accessories, to adorn the top of a yard-ish themed cake.so, early in the […]

my most blamazing cake ever.
this year, we have found ourselves slightly obsessed with an instagram personality known as the tiny chef. he’s a stop motion character of unknown species, with a lovable and distinct manner of speaking, who loves to cook and hike, and is into pop culture and buttons. if you don’t know who he is, you should […]
anna = eleven.
Despite my best efforts, it appears my kids are growing up before my eyes. Most recently, the Annababy, who is clearly and unequivocally no longer a baby, has turned eleven. ELEVEN. it makes no sense. She is a fantastic kid. She is an avid reader and aspiring artist. She is a motivated homeschooler and is […]
sea life cupcakes for kaylin.
My pal Stephanie’s kiddo Kaylin and I go way back. When I worked in the toddler room at our church and Stephanie and her fam had just started coming, Kaylin would only come to me for the handoff. Then, I became pregnant with Anna and my due date was Kaylin’s birthday. As you may know, […]
