Have you ever jumped in the shower expecting steamy hot water, only to be blasted by the complete opposite extreme? 🥶
​Water so icy it actually feels hot? Holy cow. Apparently, "buy a new hot water heater" just jumped to the top of our weekend to-do list. 😣
​Once my hands—and the tiny piece of my soul that froze—finally thaw out, I’m pivoting to warmer thoughts: planning our very first roadside stand of the season! 🎉
​We are eyeing next weekend and thinking a "Breakfast & Brunch" theme. ☕🧁 Here is the rough draft menu so far:
​🌟Cinnamon / Sweet Rolls
🌟Fresh Muffins
🌟Baked Donuts (Apple Cider & Strawberry)
🌟Breakfast Cake (by the slice)
​I need your help!
✨️​What else would you love to see on a brunch stand?
✨️​Drop your best hot water tank advice/brands below because I am clueless right now. 👇👇

✨️To Place an Order:

Please send me a Facebook or Text Message (number in bio😊), I've had to start screening calls recently due to scam orders being placed😖 ✨️
If you don't hear from me within a couple of days, I'm either working on an order and can't find time to respond just yet.

I appreciate your support and understanding! As you can imagine, it's hard to cover every base as a one woman show... most of the cakes I do are highly detailed and there's quite a few of messages back and forth with clients to ensure we have everything planned out the way they want☺️ I usually plan to respond to messages when I can devote my full attention to that conversation 🙃 again, you guys are great, and thank you for understanding! 🩷

Let's make a rustic Birch Bark themed wedding cake! With handmade sugar flowers, sculpted and Handpainted Birch Bark texture and initials, this cake was a beautiful addition to a picturesque reception hall. It really looked like a birch tree, forever memorializing the bride and groom! It was a wonderful experience to work with a friend of the bride and groom to make this romantic cake.🩷 Congrats to the happy couple!💐

For my fellow Decorators: TheSugarArt.com will always be my brand of choice when it comes to edible petal and luster dusts... AmeriColor and Chefmaster has always been my go to for gel food coloring.
I just ordered some edible paint from Colour Mill, I'll let you know what I think!😉
Full disclosure, the clip including the couple at the end are not the couple who received this cake... they were added using AI.

Seeing the same kids that I watched play youth sports in caps and gowns has me very emotional these days.🥹
Congrats 2026 Grads!

This was such a fun cake to make! When I first heard "skater girl" cake, my first thought was Avril/punk and skateboards. While that's a fun direction, this Girly ROLLERskater theme is so sweet and juust a bit of edge. The cake looked amazing amongst all the '90s/'00s themed decorations and great memories were made in honor of this special girl🩷

I can't tell you how many times I've heard "fondant? Ewwww!" Or "we want this design, but NO FONDANT"... then that design is next to impossible for me to pull off without using fondant. Or their cake would look or perform it's best if covered in fondant... uh-oh!
I like to think of fondant as a "garnish" or decoration rather than part of the actual cake. You could eat it, some do! But you don't 'have' to.
But also, do you like marshmallows? How about sugar? Those are the main ingredients in my fondant. I also add modeling chocolate to mine😋 so you may be surprised that it actually doesn't taste terrible! This is how I make it!
