My husband had a big birthday last month, and I wanted to make a cake that captured his personality to celebrate. One of his biggest passions is chips – not the potato or chocolate kind (though he does like those too) – I’m talking about the computer kind. The ones […]
Last year I set out to attempt all the technical challenges from the 2020 season of Great British Bake Off (more on that here). I really had no idea what I was getting myself into. It was a lot more work than I expected, but simultaneously it was also SO […]
Fourth of July is one of my husband’s favorite holidays, and this year he asked if I could fill a cake with patriotic M&Ms. He became a citizen in 2019 and we didn’t get to do the fireworks thing last year because, well, 2020. I had never made a piñata […]

If you’ve seem my Instagram, you’ll know I love making tiny cakes. What do I mean by tiny cakes? When I talk about tiny cakes I’m referring to small cakes (usually layer cakes) that are less than 3 inches wide. Don’t take those guidelines too seriously, this is just how […]
