  • HUMAN ORGANS ON BOARD.

    Last week I had two cakes to complete and deliver. I was nervous because one of them was a three-tiered wedding cake which included a 30-minute drive. Every single bump and turn, every pebble matters. I get so worked up the days leading up to delivering a cake. It’s not pretty. I’m not pretty. There was that one time I drove…

  • The Leftovers

    I said I would write about about The Walking Dead and I will. But right now I simply must declare my love for The Leftovers a show that kills me once a week. Now, forgive me for a second, but I’m going to come off as a selfish ass and make this all about me. Ok? Ok. But it’s as if Damon Lindelof and…

  • What Happened With Etsy?

    I’m not sure what’s been up with Etsy these last couple of years. Maybe it’s just my shop. Maybe I don’t do enough to advertise. (True.) Maybe it’s because they grew too much and too quickly and diluted the market. Maybe there’s more competition now. I am not sure. But whatever the reason, for me, things…

  • Falling Leaves and Acorns.

    Oh my goodness, MORE COOKIES. And a backstory as to why I made them. Last Spring, we took Elliot out of school. He was enrolled at a full-time daycare, which we never really needed. I’d pick him up way early, we were paying the full tuition, and it just didn’t make sense for us anymore. Plus, he…

  • Barnyard and Zombie Cookies Using Royal Icing

    I had a customer ask me to do 50 barnyard cookies to accompany a barnyard cake. I obliged. I was a touch nervous at first, but ended up having a blast. So much so, I found myself getting up at 3:30 AM just so I could work on them. I’d like to share them now. Here is a…

  • Stories Told From Ticket Stubs: The Old 97s.

    March 1st, 2001: Old 97s. A Throwback Thursday Series. I used to be a huge Old 97s fan. A friend of mine named Aaron gave me Too Far Too Care back in 1997 and I was hooked. I saw them a bunch of times over the years, but this one stands out. It took place during a…

  • My New Mug

    Toby got me this mug. It’s particularly funny to us because in the past I was notorious for undervaluing my design skills and basically designing stuff for free. I’m trying really hard to avoid doing that with my cakes. Anyway, he got me this as a daily reminder.

  • Moon Mater Cake.

    Hi! It’s been far too long. Thing is, Toby updated my site (as you can see). And after that I had some trouble figuring out how to sign in and actually use it. So, it sat. But! Today I figured it out! And so here I am. And I do hope that now that it’s…
