Proof that a wedding cake can totally rock chocolate frosting!

Just the morning light on some fall floral cupcakes 🍂 (Vanilla this time around, but that's not your only option!)

A moment for this *epic* dessert bar!

M & G chose a classic vintage heart cake (complete with cherries!) as their centerpiece. The cake was lemon with berry buttercream and lemon curd filling. They then opted for a completely stocked dessert table with cheesecake mousse fruit tarts, key lime pies, cardamom strawberry cupcakes and chocolate raspberry cupcakes-- and even included to-go boxes for their guests to take home a sweet treat at the end of the night. I had so much fun with this one, and was honored to be a part of their wedding!

M & B came in from the start knowing they wanted a custom gingerbread flavor (yum!) paired with a semi-naked cake and carved initials. Adding fresh florals from tied everything together so beautifully!

A little green and gold moment for O & M from back in June.

Listen, I know it's October, and I'm truly SO excited for all the pumpkin, cardamom, apple, and chocolate orange ginger cakes coming up... BUT I also needed to take a moment to share this birthday cake because it's just too cute!

Vanilla cake with strawberry rhubarb jam, strawberry buttercream, and a brown butter oat crumble.

We interrupt your regularly scheduled programming with a reminder that, yes, I can make your birthday (or anniversary or baby shower or just because) cake too! It's true that most of my business, and much of what I share on social media, is wedding-related, but I love being part of all kinds of celebrations.

Cake details: vanilla blackberry cake with graham cracker crust, vanilla buttercream, and blackberry caramel, plus an ode to Sherlock Holmes.

This might be a semi-naked cake, but she's all dressed up for the occasion! M & H paired a bright ch*****ne wildberry cake with dark and moody flowers, a dramatic jam drip, and sweet summer berries for their September wedding.

This is your sign to let your cake be a part of telling your story.

I & G came to me with a cake idea already sketched out, including a plan to make their own clay figures representing themselves and their pets. It was an honor to be trusted with the cake and buttercream portion of bringing their vision to life, including bookshelves, moss, florals, and mushrooms!

Cake details: grapefruit campari cake with white chocolate yuzu ganache and vanilla Italian meringue buttercream. Not pictured: cupcakes in Earl Gray vanilla and brown butter bourbon peach for guests.
