for some reason, i thought it would be a good idea to have a birthday party in our home. with a newborn. with six boys. ages 6 and 7. and make individual cakes for the kids to decorate. i’m obviously not thinking clearly in my sleep deprived state. here’s how it went. earlier this week, […]

curious george rainbow cake.
anna’s birthday is around the corner. wednesday to be exact. but, her grandparents will be out of town. and the middle of the week is tough. so, we had a little party time for her on sunday night. last night. she’s been waffling back and forth between a curious george cake, another yo gabba gabba […]
camera cupcakes.
hi. i only have one picture of my most recent cake baking adventure… i went on a little 40th birthday girls weekend for my pal jude. she’s a photographer extraordinaire. and loves tie-dye. so i made tie-dye cake (rainbow-y-ish). and little fondant cameras. (i can’t not say camera like jenna maroney). the end.
the melody miller typewriter cake.
as i mentioned in my last post, approximately 38 seconds ago, our quilt guild had melody miller in last night as a special guest speaker. she makes a lot of super fun, bright vintage-y fabrics. as soon as we knew she was coming, my pal lee suggested i put my cake making skills to work […]

twenty twelve review.
thought i would take a few minutes to look back at what went down in 2012, in terms of quilting and sewing and cakery. it’s always fun to see it all laid out in a nice little grid format. it makes me feel like i actually accomplished some things… anyhoooo… here’s the quilts. 1. Front […]
kessler’s birthday cake
made this little cake for my buddy kessler who turns three today! kessler wanted a race car cake with “fire”. which obviously means, “a sweet flaming paint job” to a 3 year old. and like all of the other things (baby, 1st bday, baby bro) i’ve made for his family, the color scheme was green. […]
one fish two fish.
came out of my cake hiatus to make some seussian cupcakes and a cake for a baby shower that my college roommate was throwing for one of her friends. i am pretty happy with how these all turned out. i cut each one out of fondant with an exacto knife and then used an edible […]
