Moody, whimsical, and a little perfectly imperfect.

This wedding at Gramercy Mansion was such a vibe!

Deep burgundy, black, green, and white set the tone for a beautifully moody celebration, and the venue itself was full of character! From the gorgeous architecture to the eclectic decor, there was something interesting around every corner.

The bride wanted a cake that was simple, but with a slightly messy, textured finish in a rich burgundy color. I love when a design embraces a little imperfection, and this one fit the atmosphere perfectly!

And can we talk about that MacKenzie-Childs cake stand and plate?! The black-and-white checkered pattern was the perfect whimsical touch. I absolutely loved how it all came together!

Congratulations to the newlyweds! Wishing you a lifetime of love and happiness!

The sweet details: Lemon cake with cream cheese filling and lemon buttercream.

Happy Halloween! 💀🩷🖤

Since I started baking, rarely does a Halloween go by without me making a cake just for myself since Halloween is my FAVORITE!

This year, I went with a little spooky, a little girly, and a whole lot of piping! Cute little skulls with pink bows, black and pink ruffles, and just enough attitude to make this one perfectly spooky and sweet.

And because this one is for ME, I made sure the inside was just as good as the outside!

The sweet details: Almond cake with chocolate ganache filling, coated in dark chocolate buttercream, and finished with vanilla buttercream for all that pretty piping.

Happy Halloween, everyone! May your day be filled with more treats than tricks!

Happy first anniversary to A & J! 🥂

What better way to celebrate their first year of marriage than to finally give their wedding cake and cupcakes a spot on my feed?!

I'm embarrassingly behind on posting some of my creations, and somehow this little beauty never made her debut!

There's just something about an all-white cake with intricate vintage piping that will always have my heart. Paired with coordinating cupcakes in soft, neutral tones, this set was simple, elegant, and timeless.

Wishing A & J a very happy first anniversary and many more years of love and happiness!

The sweet details:

🤍 Cake: Carrot cake with vanilla buttercream.

🧁 Cupcakes: Almond cake with vanilla buttercream and chocolate cake with mocha buttercream.

Our Boo is TWO! 👻🎃🖤

The cutest little goblin celebrated her second birthday with a Halloween-themed party, a moon bounce, and a cake to match!

And in typical two-year-old fashion, Madelyn provided a little entertainment of her own. When asked if she wanted to eat the pumpkin on top of her cake, she said NO. But when another little partygoer decided to eat it instead? Well, suddenly that pumpkin was important to her!

Gotta love toddlers!

I had so much fun with this one! The little ghosts, bats, pumpkins, and black cats against the orange buttercream made for such a cute, not-so-spooky birthday cake.

And inside?

🎃 Bottom tier: Chocolate chip cake with cannoli filling.

👻 Top tier: Confetti cake in Halloween colors.

All covered in vanilla buttercream.

Happy 2nd birthday, Madelyn! I hope your day was filled with lots of fun, bouncing, and maybe a pumpkin of your very own!

What a beautiful fall day for a wedding! And with the Chesapeake Bay Bridge as the backdrop, the setting couldn't have been more perfect!

When the brides requested a table runner cake, I knew I wanted to build and decorate the entire thing at home. The last time I made one of these, I assembled it onsite, and that was stressful enough!

Well, having now done it both ways, I can confidently say 𝐈 𝐚𝐦 𝐍𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞 𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧! 😂

I enlisted a friend to help carry this beast, and let me tell you, getting it into my car was quite the production! Thankfully, with some help from the venue staff on the other end, we got her inside in one piece, with only a few minor touch-ups needed. Whew!

But the part I'm most excited about? The brides had a custom table on wheels built specifically for this cake, with plans to roll the whole thing onto the dance floor for the cake cutting! I cannot WAIT to see the photos and video of that moment!

And underneath all that vintage piping and fresh fruit were two delicious flavor combinations:

🤍 Brown sugar cake with Biscoff filling

🤍 Almond cake with raspberry compote filling and white chocolate buttercream

The entire cake was finished in Swiss meringue buttercream and topped with fresh raspberries and strawberries.

Another massive cake, another adventure in transportation, and another reminder that I apparently enjoy making things difficult for myself.

Congratulations, M & S! 🥂

My first tiered heart-shaped cake, and I am IN LOVE!

Combine that shape with my favorite style of vintage piping and a little gold, and this one was right up my alley!

But the really fun part of this order? The flavor was a surprise—even to the bride and groom!

After their tasting, the couple gave me the freedom to choose from their favorite flavor combinations. The bride was so committed to being surprised that I wasn't even allowed to put a flavor card on the cake table!

So what did I choose? Espresso cake with cannoli filling and mocha buttercream. OMG. What a delicious combination! I may have found a new personal favorite with this one.

Congratulations, Q & L! 🥂🤍

The inspiration for this one came from an AI-generated image my client sent for his mother-in-law's 70th birthday. While I loved the overall concept, I wanted to put my own spin on it!

Rather than recreating the design exactly, I took those sweeping, sail-like details and arranged them to look more like the petals of a flower. With yellow being the birthday girl's favorite color, I incorporated different shades of buttery yellow, touches of gold, and delicate florals to bring it all together.

I love being given an inspiration photo and having the creative freedom to interpret it in my own style. Sometimes a little change in direction makes all the difference!

Inside was marble cake covered in vanilla buttercream.

Happy 70th birthday!

When you're turning 21, love Chris-Craft boats, attend the Naval Academy, AND have a thing for ch*****ne, naturally all of those things need to make an appearance on your birthday cake! ⚓🥂

I had so much fun bringing all of these interests together in one design! The classic navy and white stripes, gold anchor, vintage wooden Chris-Craft boat, and, of course, a bottle of bubbly to celebrate the big 2-1!

I especially love when a cake tells you a little something about the person it's made for. And this one certainly does!

Underneath all that nautical charm was chocolate cake with chocolate ganache filling and chocolate buttercream, finished in vanilla buttercream.

Happy 21st birthday, Tal! Here's to smooth sailing and plenty of ch*****ne!

I mean, how could I possibly say no to an Elmo theme?!

This entire set was SO much fun to create! From the bright, colorful cake to those ridiculously cute Elmo cupcakes with their fuzzy buttercream faces, oversized eyes and Oreo smiles, I love how everything came together. And the little coordinating macarons were the perfect finishing touch!

But the best part? Getting a big hug from my client when I delivered it. 🥹 Those are the moments that make all the hours of work worth it!

And underneath all that cuteness? Lemon cake with mango compote filling for both the cake and cupcakes. A little tropical twist for this Sesame Street celebration!

Happy 2nd birthday, Aria!

60 years deserves a little drama.

This one was created for a dragonfly lover, and I knew I wanted to pull inspiration from that gorgeous teal you sometimes catch in the iridescent wings of a dragonfly. Rather than adding contrasting colors, I went completely monochromatic—teal on teal on teal—and let all of that piping and texture do the talking.

I am forever obsessed with the incredible designs from Vegan Treats, and this cake was heavily inspired by their work—though this is merely my humble attempt at replicating their perfection! The intricate piping, vintage details and little dragonflies were SO much fun to bring together.

And beneath all that teal?

Chocolate cake with chocolate ganache filling, covered in a combination of dark chocolate and vanilla buttercream.

Happy 60th birthday!
