Okay, I’ll admit three weeks ago, I didn’t really know what the “Mickey Mouse Clubhouse” was. Turns out it is ALL the RAGE with the preschool set. And since Eileen and I were in charge of making a birthday cake for a darling little girl’s second birthday, we had some research to do on Mickey [...]

So this past weekend was one sugar filled fest at the beach house. Combining Easter (and all of those peeps, chocolate eggs, and bunnies) and a 75th birthday bash in honor of my dear grandfather is certainly a recipe for a sugar rush. Luckily I ran 9 miles on Saturday morning in preparation for my [...]

My nephew Connor loves Jeeps. Really, he loves all kind of trucks (he’s an equal opportunity type of kid) but Jeeps have a special place in his heart. So when my sister-in-law Misty asked me to make Connor’s birthday cake, I knew I had to go for the Jeep! I found the perfect Jeep cartoon [...]

About a month ago, one of our oldest friends, Bill, called me up. As he usually is, Bill was direct. “How do I go about getting you to make a cake for Amelia’s [his youngest daughter's] birthday?” Me–”well usually we start with what she wants, and we go from there.” Bill–”okay, I’ll work on finding [...]
