CT Cake Competition 2012!
So, as I mentioned in my post yesterday about Icing Smiles, last weekend was also the weekend of the Connecticut Cake Competition!

Icing Smiles Cake!
I posted a few months ago about Icing Smiles, a charity that provides cakes for critically/terminally ill children and their siblings. As soon as I got my business started and all of my licensing was in place I volunteered as a baker to this wonderful charity! I was so excited a few weeks ago to […]
How to Stack a Tiered Cake
Hey everyone! So, this probably should have been one of my first posts… back with my “Getting Started” series of posts. But, hey, better late than never!

Monster High Themed Cake

How to Ice & Smooth a Cake with Swiss Meringue Buttercream
Hi everyone! I’ve got another tutorial 🙂 This is another request I’ve gotten a few times, how do I smooth my buttercream. There are loads of tutorials and instructions for smoothing American Buttercream, with the “Viva Paper Towel” method probably the most common… that’s the method I use when I have to use American Buttercream.

Transformers Bumblebee Cake
Hey everyone! So this week, I got to make a cake for one of my favorite people… my nephew is turning 4! He is such a “boy” and loves action movies and especially Transformers! So naturally, he had to have a Transformers cake for his birthday party. I can’t wait to bring it to him! […]
Cookie Dough Cupcakes!
I’m not sure if I had mentioned this in a previous post… but I am a self-taught baker/cake decorator. Much of what I’ve learned has come from YouTube, as well as other blogs and Cake Central. Well, it has been a while since I’ve browsed YouTube for new cake/baking tutorials. So I was thrilled the […]
