Let's talk about pretty petals, shall we? But I don't mean your ordinary, run of the mill, sugar flowers. I'm talking an entire day's worth of beautiful blooms. Delicate, graceful, blooms. Hand cut and placed with precision. Grouped and bunched and snuggled together into an oh-so-beautiful bouquet. Because that's exactly what today's cake has in store for us. An entire tier of gorgeous blooms clustered together in a frilly, almost ruffle-like, pattern. Add in a touch of lace and some ... Continue Reading

Recipe : Classic Vanilla Cake
Today's post is a two-parter. One part recipe. One part love story. A love story that started years ago, way back in high school. At first, this love of mine was not accepted by my family. You see, my family had always been a chocolate cake family. Chocolate cake always and forever, all birthdays and all celebrations. But then, I met vanilla. I can remember one birthday asking my mom for vanilla cake. Still to this day I'm not sure if she didn't hear me or thought I was joking. But ... Continue Reading

Now that we live in Florida.... most days are sunny, bright and about 85 degrees. Warm skies and palm trees do not make for a typical fall. Don't get me wrong. I am not complaining about beautiful weather. After spending several years in Illinois, I certainly do not miss the zero degree, grey-skied winters. But I do miss ... Continue Reading
