Is this what heaven looks like?

Absolutely! Especially when it's a steamy summer day and the thermometer is pushing 100 degrees.

A vanilla wafer and pecan crust lines this tall, smooth and dreamy cheesecake! Then the cheesecake was smothered in a fresh blackberry syrup, seeping throughout the cake.

With blackberries in full bloom, the baking possibilities right now are endless.

cUH-CaAakkkes!

I can't think of too many things as rewarding as watching a little one devour my work! She loved Miss Kim's "cUH-CaAakkkeS!"

How About Something Sweet?

Cake samples are truly delightful! On this particular occasion, a marble cake was the direction the bride was leaning towards. I threw in the chocolate cupcakes just for giggles!
How could you resist?
The delicate mixture of chocolate and vanilla cake is flooded with chocolate ganache and topped with a vanilla buttercream.

Who Doesn't Love Strawberry Shortcake?

With perfectly ripe strawberries in season, don't miss this luscious Sky High Strawberry Shortcake!

Each layer of this delicate yellow shortcake is topped with a fresh strawberry sauce and homemade whipped cream. Allowing ample time before serving ensures that the cake will absorb the strawberries' natural juices for the ultimate succulent treat!

A Celebration of Love

This Celebration of Love was in honor of a new bundle of joy, Aidan, getting ready to be welcomed into this world.
A custom display was set up using a variety of cake stands and platters. Each cupcake was adorned with a handmade chocolate "A" for Aidan.
Decadent flavors were paired for hit combinations of vanilla buttermilk cupcakes and dark chocolate frosting...fudge cupcakes and dulce de leche frosting.

The Perfect Pair

Strawberries and lemons. Enough said.
I lied. There IS more to say! This tart has a subtle crust, filled with a fresh lemon pastry cream and topped with fresh strawberries. To sweeten the tart ever so slightly, a strawberry glaze was added on top.
