Dreaming of layers that went up and down instead of horizontally.

Dreaming of obscene amounts of delicate frosting roses.

Dreaming of a variety of flavors.

And finally, my dream has come true.

Normally I share recipes and techniques and design aspects and every detail I can think of sharing… and maybe I will do that if anyone cares to know. But for now, I just want to enjoy it.

Why?

Because tomorrow (Feb. 1st) is my birthday. And I wanted to make myself a cake! (that’s me getting sassy with myself)

I just want to sit back, relax, and have a piece.

But I do wish I could share it with you.

Share with your friends!

  9. I wondered over here from Bluebird Notes blog- she threw down a challenge, which I am accepting- to make your suprise-inside heart cake for Valentines’ day. I am having one of those days when I find a ton of new blogs that are very well established but I had no idea. It is fun and overwhelming and exciting and I find myself spending hours blog hopping. Nothing gets done but I find so many amazing women who design, create, make, bake, cook, and sell unbelievably cool, handmade items.
    I am loving what little of your blog I have seen and I plan on spending a few more hours checking it all out. I love to bake and for years I loved to make recipes out of Chocolatier Magazine- cakes comprised of a sponge drenched in a liqueur, a complex filling or two, ganache, fruit/nuts/something sweeter, and cool decorations. Rich, Rich, Rich cakes but oh so fun and yummy. This was all before the internet! I had to source my own supplies and the only directions I had were those that were written in the magazine. No Goggling “how to” do something easier, faster, better. Ah, the stupidity of youth….. I didn’t know I should be overwhelmed!
    I adore your rose covered cake. I bought a yard of purple fabric in the exact pattern as your cake-all those roses- that I love love love because it is beyond gorgeous. Have a “Happy Birthday” and thanks for sharing your amazing baking skills, experiments, experiences, and products. Danee
