Kawaii Chewbacca cake!!! I made this cake for my newest nephew, baby Elliott, future Star Wars mega fan, ha. Cute right?? Well lemme tell you… this Chewbacca cake started off the opposite of cute. In fact, he started off as a big old cake-stuck-in-the-pan mess. I forgot to spray my cake pans with my usual […]
Holy Sheet: Cherry Bombe Buttercream Sheet Cake + Cherry Bombe Jubilee Seattle
Happy 2020! I’ve been hibernating in a deep January funk, but clawing my way out as teensy signs of Spring appear in our neighborhood.

Oh Deer – Kawaii Pink Deer Cake For Saya

Abstract Buttercream Painted Cake
Some days I feel so STUCK in my own aesthetic.

Apple Crumble Oatmeal Cookie Crust Pie!
I was asked by Carusele to be a part of this fun Fall holiday baking campaign, sponsored by Splenda Stevia Canada. Although I have been compensated, all opinions are my own! FALL BAKING IS HERE!

It’s my kawaii Harry Potter cake!!! I made this kawaii Harry Potter cake for my dear friend Mia’s son Theo’s seventh birthday. My journey to being a Potterhead has been, ahem, decades long. Almost twenty years ago my then-boyfriend Rich was plowing through the series (which, when I look back, was rather adorable) and he encouraged […]

I finally tried edible paint! My dear niece Kensie turned ten years old (WAHHH) and I wanted to make her something special for her kids’ party. It ended up being a hand painted tie dye cake, as Kensie is super into tie-dye right now. It was so much fun and yes, it really is like […]
Homer Simpson Cake For Sydney
My adorable, blond, curly haired white niece Sydney turned three! For a few months there she was asking me for a Peppa the Pig cake, which I was game for (although, even though I’m an experienced cake designer, I still worried it would shuffle over into peen territory)… but then, about a month ago it […]
Buttercream Piped Rainbow Cake For Pride Month
The buttercream piped rainbow cake might very well be one of my favourite cakes to make – each time they turn out differently, but they are always MAJORLY BLASTED WITH COLOUR!

Cake Walk Cakes for Teddy’s Carnival!
Time is flying as usual and it’s already the END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR. Teddy’s school community ROCKS and this year I got a little more involved in the school carnival, taking on the role of Jolly Jar co-coordinator (LOL) because the jolly jar booth didn’t have anyone to coordinate it this year, and the […]
