CakeFu Masters Series: Rebecca Sutterby
I have been very busy this week with a cake (and trying to get my house back in order after a long weekend away). I’m busy documenting some things I am working on, so I can share with you how I did it… But I wanted to take a quick minute to post about the […]
Raspberry Fruit Filling Recipe
When it comes to fruit fillings, you have several options. You can use canned “pie” filling, but to fill a cake that tends to be a little too runny- so use it sparingly, and would not recommend it for a stacked cake. Or you could use a sleeve filling, like the ones you can get […]
Hippity, Hoppity Easter’s On It’s Way!
I’m gearing up to go away for the holiday weekend… I’ll be away from the internet, no cell service, almost like a vacation! But before I left I wanted to leave you with a fun Easter project! Cake balls, truffles and pops are the new “it” dessert! They started out as a way for bakers […]

OMG! Cupcakes

Dulce De Leche Recipe
I was inspired, by a conversation on Cake Central yesterday, to share my recipe for Dulce De Leche. You guys are in for treat! This stuff is delicious! It is really simple to make (honestly it doesn’t GET simpler!). My “Turtle Cake” recipe is a closely guarded secret, that I’m not sure if I will […]
Swiss Meringue Buttercream Recipe
I really cannot have my own blog and NOT mention Swiss Meringue Buttercream (“SMBC” in cake circles)… It really is the most amazing frosting that ever was invented (I imagine that Italian Meringue Buttercream is similar, they just have different cooking methods). This frosting is known as my “magic” frosting by certain family members… and […]
Gumpaste Baby Tutorial
I’ve used my First Impressions Baby Mold twice now and I think these babies come out so well! They are incredibly life-like, the detail is so amazing, and they are so adorable I want to carry one around in my pocket! Anyway, cute attack aside… I’ve had so many people ask how I made them, […]
