Just Peachy

One of the best things in life, in our opinion, is a change of season and the 

new and exciting flavors that come with it.

Not to mention having access to local growers 

that proudly share softball-sized peaches that are so good you could cry.

This trifle looks beautiful on a dessert table, 

and is the perfect candidate for an impressive individual dessert.

Sweet Travels

I got together with several amazing ladies in my neighborhood a while ago for

For dessert I contributed this little beauty-

A moist and delicious red velvet cake disguised 

as just another well-worn carry-on.

Road trip anyone?

Thank Heavens for Little Girls- and Salted Caramel Apple Cake!

It feels like a crime the way my blog updates have been lately, but I'm turning over a new leaf starting with this oh-so-dainty "Thank Heavens For Little Girls" baby shower I threw with my sister back in March for our dear friend Chloe.

Britney and Shad wanted something delicious and beautiful

They tickled their guests' tastebuds with this little beauty,

and sent them home with 

a bundle of butter cookies.

Wedding Bells

I have enjoyed baking and designing Wedding Cakes for over ten years, and, after creating heaven knows how many white cakes with raspberry filling, my passion for tailoring flavor to couple has positively skyrocketed.

No two brides, or grooms for that matter (we can't forget you, fellas!), are the same, so why the cardboard cutout wedding cake? Why bland? Why boring same-old, same-old? Break the bands of mediocrity and do something that will keep your guests talking for years to come- the good kind of talk, the kind that makes a mouth water instead of grimace in the remembering!

Besides, having a piece smashed into your face is infinitely more pleasant when it makes your taste buds dance!

A FEW OF OUR 'MORE-FUN-THAN-THEIRS' FLAVORS

Apricot-Amaretto rich, dense almond cake filled w/ ricotta & fresh apricot compote

Sweet Toasted Coconut layers of sweet, nutty coconut cake separated by tart lime curd & signature buttercream covered in toasted coconut curls

LemonPeel light lemon cake filled w/ layers of fresh strawberry-rhubarb compote & signature buttercream

White Chocolate Peppermint brown butter vanilla cake filled w/ layers of white chocolate mousse & flecked with crushed peppermint candies

Burnt Almond Fudge moist, dark chocolate cake layered w/ fudgy almond frosting & bits of toasted almond

Nutty Pumpkin Pecan layers of rich nut cake, delicate pumpkin mousse, and signature buttercream dusted w/ crunchy pecan praline

Let them eat cake

In the 'dessert closet' of our lives, I like to think of cake as the little black number that can dress up or down and still knock your socks off.

It's a personality thing, you have your favorite and so does he. It's individual, and it should be. Here, we like to think outside the box and take your comfort food to a higher level- sometimes it's new, sometimes a little crazy, but always absolutely delicious!
