We're Back!

Well, we're back to blogging! Our goal for the new year is to get better at posting what we've been up to :)

To start off...

I had a baby!

.... And I'm totally in love with this bundle of joy !

I thought baking was exhausting.. but come to find out being a mom is ..well... FUN! (and exhausting) However I wouldn't trade it for the world.I would have never thought that I would ever love something or someone as much as I love this tiny human. He is my little sunshine:)

In fact here is a little video of his room and my favorite song. Mom used to sing this song to me all the time..

Okay.. I know enough about the baby, back to the caking.

We have a lot of exciting things happening! This Sunday 1/29/12 we will be apart of Weddings With Style International Magazine's Signature Bridal Show! Weddings With Style Signature Bridal Show on Sunday, Jan. 29 from 12:30 – 4:30 p.m. at the Bossier Civic Center.

And one more thing...

We now offer KING CAKES!

A king cake is a pastry dough that is rolled (similiar to a cinnamon roll) and filled with a varity of flavors. It's topped with a sugar glaze and 3 color sprinkles PURPLE signifies justice, YELLOW signifies power and GREEN signifies faith. Sometimes in king cake a little baby is hidden inside, the tradition is the person who finds the baby will have to buy the next king cake.

Our king cakes are moist and delicious!!

We have Small (FEEDS 5) for $10
Medium (FEEDS 12) for $24

OR Large (FEEDS 20) for $40

(Pictured above is a comparison of a small vs medium size)

Wedding Bliss

We had the pleasure to do this sweet couples wedding cake(s) and mini cupcakes. When I first met with Hannah I knew this was going to be a great wedding to work on. She had great style and completely trusted us to come up with a great design. We went off of our beaded rose cake used for this

photo shoot as inspiration. We wanted to keep it more classy with pearl beads and a hint of pale pink roses. She was open to mix it up a little by adding mini cupcakes to the display. The wedding cake flavors included: italian cream cheese cake, strawberry cake with fresh strawberries, vanilla cake with buttercream. The mini cupcake flavors were chocolate cake with cream cheese, red velvet cake with cream cheese, chocolate swirl cake with buttercream.

Thanks Hannah and Brian for allowing us to be apart of your special day!

Photo Shoot

About a month ago Valerie from Southern Fete contacted me, we were both fans of each other, and we began talking about doing a photoshoot together. She happen to have a few ideas and venders she wanted to use for the shoot and I was so excited to be one of them! A couple of weeks ago I traveled to Lafayette, LA to be apart of this amazing experience. We had such a great time, and it was so surreal to see everything come together! Valerie and Laura were such fun and so talented! Here is a sneak peek of the 2 shoots we did! Enjoy

Happy Thanksgiving!!

What a better way to begin this Thanksgiving with the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and baking pies!
I have so much to be thankful for! My Lord and Savior who sees all things and continues to bless me and my family. My sweet mama, who without her I could NOT accomplish the things that I have. We are complete opposites, but she is still my very best friend. My awesome dad and his bill Cosby dancing,he also builds cake systems ,molds fondant figurines,makes cookie cutters when I don't have something I need,and washes dishes!! My hubby- I LOVE YOU!! You are simply amazing! My brothers,sisters(in laws)- all 7 of y'all are awesome! Niece's and Nephews for being my taste testers (kids don't mind being honest :) ),family,creativity to express through cakes, my successful business that keeps me on my toes and my awesome clients who without y'all I would not be successful. And my amazing friends the ones who have been with me throughout the past 21 years of my life and the new-we are just now beginning out adventure!- I love you ALL!
