I saw some adorable cupcakes on this website (Sugarbloom Cupcakes) and now if you go to flickr and type in “tall cupcakes” there are several people making these. I tried making one to see how long it would take, and even though they take some time I think there are SO many options!! It’s funny […]

I made this cake! LOL!! I look at it and seriously laugh! I took this pic towards the end of November last year – and I was so proud of my first attempt with fondant. This was my very first attempt at baking a cake, stacking it, filling it and covering it with my very […]
