THE SHINING!!! aka Vin’s 40th birthday

It only took me 5 months to write up and post this, and it’s just in time for Halloween! I’ve had non-stop work travel and projects this year and I was lucky enough to even have time to bake for Vin’s cake, so I’ll take it as a win! This year marks the 40th anniversaryContinue reading “THE SHINING!!! aka Vin’s 40th birthday”

Just eat it.

*Because I’m not sure if I’m allowed to say “Just Do It TM” in the headline. OK, this is a SUPER LATE post, but I figure it’s fitting since VIN IS RUNNING THE NYC MARATHON SOON!!!  This counts as carb-loading, right???  Now look at the pics…. Another year, another birthday for Vin. He started runningContinue reading “Just eat it.”

Little Boys Blue

First baking projects post move! Let’s just be quick about it, shall we?  I had to bake for 2 special little boys: one hasn’t even been born yet, and the other is one of my super cute, super crazy godsons. The theme for the baby shower cake was the ocean, so I played around withContinue reading “Little Boys Blue”

A Beautiful Birthday and Rapid Rosettes

I take back all the times I thought I was busy.  I’ve been in beast mode working late every day for the past couple months and bringing home work on weekends.  A lot of people have been asking to place orders, and I feel so bummed out I have to decline due to the factContinue reading “A Beautiful Birthday and Rapid Rosettes”

A Garden Wedding

Summer means wedding season, and I absolutely love baking and decorating for special occasions like these.  A family friend asked if I could bake for her son’s wedding brunch, and I couldn’t refuse, especially since it was such a simple request: 36 packaged cupcakes as wedding favors and a small cutting cake for the brideContinue reading “A Garden Wedding”

Balls to the wall baking

Easter weekend was a huge baking ordeal this year.  Not only did I plan on bringing some desserts to the T house per usual, but my little cousin’s 4th birthday party was also the day before Easter.  My aunt just got a new job in Philly, so she and my uncle now had tons ofContinue reading “Balls to the wall baking”

Labor of Love

**This post is a couple weeks late… OK, a few weeks late.  We had some house-related catastrophes to deal with and much needed relaxing time to catch up on. Now that Labor Day has passed, I’ll be a little less lazy with the baking and the posts  =) Where has this summer gone???  I feelContinue reading “Labor of Love”

Summer Lovin’

Summer time means prime wedding season, and when my wonderful friend M asked if I could help out with her brother’s wedding, I was more than happy to oblige and honored to be part of such a special day.  M’s brother and his lovely new husband were originally going to just get cupcakes from theContinue reading “Summer Lovin’”

A modern take on old-fashioned cupcakes

This past weekend I baked for and attended this fantastic charity event sponsored by Party4aCause.  A close friend’s fiance is a member and asked me to donate some baked goods for one of their events, and this seemed like a good contender for my one good deed for the year =P  The idea was forContinue reading “A modern take on old-fashioned cupcakes”
