"Oh, What a Beautiful Morning!"

"Oh, what a dawn of day!
How the March sun feels like May!
All is blue again
After last night's rain,
And the South dries the hawthorn-spray."

Robert Browning

Enjoy the gift of this glorious Spring day, Dear Ones Everywhere...

Spring has Sprung!

"See!  The winter is past;
   the rains are over and gone.
Flowers appear on the earth;
   the season of singing has come,
the cooing of doves
   is heard in our land."

Song of Songs 2: 11-12

We ALL Scream for Ice Cream?

Wedding Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes, a photo by Queen Anne's Lace on Flickr.


These pretty little cupcakes were created for a sweet couple recently who were married on a Sunday with a Sundae-themed wedding.  The cupcakes were NOT frosted with Ice Cream but with neopolitan-flavored Butter Cream.  Scrumpdillicious?

Love What You Do...

As I prepare for an upcoming bridal show, I am reminded of what fun it is to do what I do.  Meeting sweet couples, dreaming up ideas and then drawing them is a joy for me.  Selecting the finest ingredients and smelling the wonderful aromas as I create the cakes is intoxicating.  And though, the moments leading up to the final presentation can be tense, it is worth it all to know the couple and their guests will find it to be as delicious inside as it is on the outside.  Looking forward to many more happy days spent doing what I love...

Teeny-Tiny Wedding Cake

Good things do come in small packages, especially when they are a sweet little gift like this one.  Though extremely time-consuming to create, they are so much fun to decorate!

It has been an astonishingly long wait but, at last, the snow is falling!

These Spicy Snowflakes were made in January and I have been anxiously looking for a snowy day to share them.  Like the sculptures floating down outside, each one was uniquely and lovingly created.  Wishing you moments of joy as you pause to treasure the beautiful blessings showered upon us daily.

Cake Artist's Journey #2

Along the path to this career, I have drawn so many cakes.  Some are created with specific couples in mind in order to help them narrow down their "tastes", while others are those which I long to make.  For me, to wake up each day with a cake ready and waiting to adorn would be bliss.  Wishing you a sweet day...
