New Year!

Big thanks to all of you who supported me
during my first year in 2008!

I've learned so much throughout my premiere year - techniques, design, structure, taste - and as a result, 2009 is bringing out a few new changes... all for the better! Hopefully you'll notice when the cake is served at your next event.

New cake flavor combinations are being added exponentially, as silly as it is, but if you don't see something you crave just ask ~ I'll make it. (Thanks to Tiffiny for suggesting "Rocky Road").

Holiday Flavors:
Peppermint crunch ~ Layers of fudge cake and lightly flavored white peppermint cake filled with chocolate ganache and candy cane crunch.
Eggnog ~ Eggnog cake filled with eggnog mousse.
Pumpkin Roll ~ Moist pumpkin cake with cheesecake filling. (Layered cake).
Gingerbread ~ Gingerbread cake filled with lemon cheesecake.


I love your comments and suggestions, so keep them coming! Now that I have finally entered the world of blogging, you have yet another place to share your thoughts about cake.
