Vntage Inspired Cupcakes

Last night I was up baking cupcakes for my daughter’s teacher who is leaving on maternity leave today. Every time I have a baking project I always say to myself that I don’t want to be up until midnight working on these things. Sure enough, I was! I wanted to keep these really simple.   [...]

Bat Mitzvah Cake

garden cake

How was your weekend? Good I hope. If you’re a mom, I hope you managed to have the day off yesterday! Aside from Mother’s Day, this weekend was busy because it was my (sort of) niece’s Bat Mitzvah. I only say sort of because technically, we aren’t blood related but in my heart she’s definitely [...]

Penguin Cake

Penuin Cake

This weekend we celebrated my little one’s 5th birthday.  It’s funny how birthDAYs have turned into birthWEEKENDS!  Have you noticed that with your kids?  It seems to always be a 3 part celebration -  a party in school, a family dinner with cake, and then a party with friends.  I have to tell you – [...]

Birthday Brownies

Yesterday I celebrated my birthday. Happy Birthday to me!! In our house, the cake is the most important part of the birthday celebration. Everyone always gets a special one decorated by yours truly. Everyone but me, that is. And this is totally by choice. Although I absolutely LOVE to decorate cakes, I don’t really like [...]

Hello Kitty Cake Wreck

A few weeks ago was my daughter’s 7th birthday and her big birthday bash. This year she wanted a Justin Bieber / Lady Gaga theme. You may be asking at this point, “What does Hello Kitty have to do with Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga?In normal situations, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!! At some point during our party [...]

Rainbow Cake Pops

Last week was such a hectic week with it being the last full week of school here in NYC. Lots of fun projects and celebrations! My daughter requested (more like demanded) that I bake something for her class for the last full day of school last Friday. I’ve done a bunch of different cupcakes throughout [...]

Baking For A Baby Shower

My friend Karen was throwing her sister a baby shower and asked if I would help her with her dessert table. She wanted me to bake a baby carriage cake and some mini cupcakes. The color scheme was green apple and chocolate brown. Love that combo – would taste great too! They were also trying [...]

His & Her Valentine Cupcakes

This week I had a bunch of baking projects on my plate. Earlier this week I baked brownies with my daughter, then I had 2 more projects before the weekend – both for cupcakes. One of the projects I actually planned for by coming up with a specific design. I was all set to go. [...]

The Lion Cake

Last week was my other nephew’s birthday which means that I was on cake duty again. YAY!! He’s such a happy baby. He turned one. Can’t believe it went so fast already! For his birthday celebration I was asked to make a lion cake. I thought about doing a sculpted cake covered in fondant but [...]

Bowling Party

Last week my nephew turned 4. He’s a Christmas Baby, which to many people may seem like the most special day of the year. Unless of course, if you’re Jewish. Then it’s just a day dedicated to going to the movies and eating Chinese food – which isn’t a bad thing. Unless it’s your birthday. [...]
