i haven’t really had much sewing motivation lately. between trying to make a go of caking, end of year school stuff, and constant sicknesses, i just haven’t gotten around to it. then one day, an old friend called to ask me about making a chemo quilt for the daughter in law of a mutual friend […]
summery vibrant floral cupcake bouquet
ok. here’s how this one went. my friends at sewingly yours, my local quilt shop, ordered a dozen cupcakes for an event at their shop. since i had a pretty wide open week and free reign to make whatever i wanted, it seemed to be a good time to try my hand at my current […]

if you follow along on my blog at all, you’ll know that anna has been making cookie cakes for a little business venture lately. you’ll also know that she has loved her first year in public school and REALLY loves her teachers. so, for an end of year gift, she wanted to make them each […]
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 […]

theannababy is twelve.
seems impossible, but i double checked the dates, and it turns out, the annababy turned twelve this month. her actual birthday fell on mother’s day, and i spent a good amount of time harassing her about it and reminding her that someday when she has kids, she will get combined birthday/mothers day gifts, so the […]
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 […]
strawbsssss
it’s strawberry season again!! thanks to my older two insisting on obtaining a public school education, i’m down to only one helper (child laborer), but i would rather be short handed than go on a weekend, along with the rest of the general public.the place we go is literally four minutes from my house. i […]
april. 2022.
i’ve spent a lot of time trying to organize these photos into some sort of grouping that makes sense, but also accounts for the dimensions, orientation, and quality of the photos. but, april was such a strange month, fully of visits and cakes and such, so the random leftovers of april are just that, very […]
