I am not a perfectionist. It took me many years and two children to learn this nugget of information. Now that I know, I truly live differently; more freely.

I am not ultimately creative. I steal others' ideas and make them my own. Creating from scratch makes me stressed, headachey and grouchy.

I am not a great chef or baker. I am only now learning to roast a chicken and bake chocolate chip cookies that will be eaten by actual humans.

However, it is a little known fact that I love making cakes. I started 3 years ago when a playgroup friend needed a cake and our actual cake-making-super-creative friend was unavailable. She told me how to do it and wha-la: a Caterpillar. From there, I made cakes for friends' kids and my kids and baby showers, etc.

Today, I'm embarking on an ambitious endeavor of actually charging real money for my creations (that are by no means perfect or ultimately creative; although it is certainly my goal!). I'm raising money for the Susan G. Koman 3-day for the Cure breast cancer walk. (I'm also walking the 3-day in September. More on that later)

Please consider supporting and getting a cute cake too! What kind of party are you having? What cake design do you want?

Under the Sea


Cooper, Mason and Jill are turning 2 with a fun "Finding Nemo" cake.
Note: if one seeks Disney characters to grace cake top, it may behoove one to seek before the day cake is due. I learned that Nemo is out and characters are impossible to find. I'm not skilled in making characters from scratch, so I had to find something- Nemo candle it is.

Baby girl Watson is on her way!




This weekend I hosted a baby shower for my dear friend Becky complete with pink and brown cake. Becky is my only girlfriend having a girl this year and I can't wait to snuggle a pink blanket filled with wonderful baby smooshyness.
