From the most decadent chocolate and freshest seasonal fruits to the touch of edible gold leaf, every aspect of your cake and desserts is thoughtfully planned and selected by me. As my chief taste tester, my husband will resoundingly confirm that all of my recipes are made from scratch and must pass rigorous evaluation.
You will see and taste the difference.
Lovingly made from scratch
Whether you're set on serving your favorite date night dessert, including long-standing family favorites, or want to try something totally new, I'm ready to electrify your taste buds and add sweet memories to your special celebration. And ... don't be surprised if your guests line up for seconds (or maybe even thirds!!).
What sweet treats
are you craving?
I believe in creating cakes and desserts that ignite your senses and leave you wanting more.
Handcrafted sugar &
Wafer Paper flowers:
I delight in fresh florals, but they are not suitable for use on cakes. So many popular flowers are toxic, in addition, to worries about pesticides, wilting, bugs, and more. After careful consideration, I've decided to only use my own handcrafted sugar and wafer paper flowers and leaves.
Can you tell this sunflower is hand-crafted and not a fresh flower?!!!
