Thank you!!!

Picnik collage


I recently put together a few cake truffle platters for the R Roberts Gallery in Avondale, as they were hosting a holiday party and artist opening. I was lucky enough to receive this very kind email from someone that was in attendance!

Christie,

I was at an art opening at the R Roberts Gallery last week and had a taste of your cake truffles. I just wanted to let you know that I was so impressed, not only with the flavor, but with the artistry and presentation. It was my first encounter with a cake truffle, and it was delicious! Thank you!

A very happy Gator Birthday!

I made my friend Kristen her very own Gator Birthday cake... her favorite logo from the Florida Gators is the "F" so I made it out of chocolate and put it on top! The inside was a red velvet and vanilla checkerboard cake. She absolutely loved it!

Baby Shower!

Yesterday my mom and I hosted my sister in-law's baby shower at our house, and I provided the dessert buffet! We had vanilla and chocolate cupcakes with chocolate frosting, peanut butter cake truffles, espresso cake truffles, strawberry cake truffles, and a chocolate fountain with all kinds of delicious dippers. Since Baby Noah's room is going to be jungle themed, we did the same theme for the shower. The animal picks in the cupcakes are actually confetti that we bought and stuck on top of toothpicks.

Go Gators!


I was asked to make a Florida Gator cake for an alumni for a birthday, so I gladly accepted the challenge! I think it turned out really great! And GO GATORS!

Busy busy busy!

After spending a wonderful exciting 3 weeks in Europe in August, I came home to plenty of great orders to fulfull!

First off, I made my brother's wedding cake. I only had a day's notice to make it, but it turned out fantastic! It was a yellow butter cake filled with strawberries and frosted with vanilla buttercream.



I made this strawberry cake with vanilla whipped frosting along with the order of white and milk chocolate red velvet truffles for a gal at work.




I am back in the swing of things and it feels great!

"Darling, I'm simply crazy about Tiffany's!"


Just wanted to share some adorable cupcakes I made this week. Tiffany and Co. cupcakes!

Inspired by that famous "little blue box", these would be simply perfect for a wedding shower or dessert reception. If you're wondering what flavors these are, they are golden butter cupcakes with a homemade vanilla Swiss meringue frosting. Delicious!

Chocolate Ganache Cake



Be prepared for a chocolate overload! This cake is a triple layer chocolate cake filled with chocolate bavarian creme, then iced with a homemade chocolate ganache frosting, topped it all off with chocolate dipped strawberries.
