Shaped cakes are always fun. I get to practice my drawing skills. I usually have to hand draw the template and then "color" the cake in.
This playful little t-rex was just what my youngest asked for.

Stitch
I was happy with the result and my step-daughter loved it.
Grease Monkey
I had a child ask for a mechanic cake. Simply because their daddy is a mechanic and their daddy is their hero.
So we made a topsy Turvey cake with some washed lego wheels and screw drivers with grease dripping down the cake (chocolate ganache).
Football
My step-son is starting to get into football, so it made sense to make football shaped cakes. The cakes were chocolate cake with chocolate fudge frosting. The grass is coconut with green food coloring.
Donuts donuts donuts
I love baked donuts. They are perfect for a little treat and these flavors are perfect for the fall.
Maple Donut with Maple glaze and toasted walnuts
Carrot Cake Donuts with Cream cheese frosting and toasted pecans
Pumpkin Donuts dipped in melted butter and cinnamon sugar.
Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes
Pumpkin Spice cupcakes with a spice buttercream frosting. They were so delicious and perfect for Fall
Grandmas Peach Cobbler
This recipe belongs to my sweet Grandma. This recipe is my favorite of hers. When I was 8 years old and got Baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, this was the dessert I wanted after my baptism. She was happy to make it.
Just a couple weeks ago my grandma returned to our Father in Heaven. This recipe will be one I cherish forever and share with everyone.
Coconut Cream
Experimenting with dairy free options. It was a little sweet for my taste, and needs some perfecting, but I am excited to serve those in our community that are intolerant to dairy products.
Look how pretty it was!
Cold Brew
Cold Brew is the new thing.
This cold brew and sweet cream cold foam is so refreshing on a beautiful spring day.

Waffles will always be a staple in my house and now at the cafe. We will have seasonal waffles, like these delicious red velvet waffles. I haven't been one to jump on the red velvet wagon... but as a waffle OMG amazing!
Blueberry Muffins
These blueberry muffins have always been a favorite of mine. They are so moist and fluffy. The secret..... sour cream.
Biscotti
Biscotti is a shortbread made from almond flour and cooked twice to make it extra firm. It is usually served with tea or coffee and you dip the cookie in the hot drink. I love just eating it by itself when it is freshly baked sometimes.
Ginger Snaps
I am not a fan of crunchy hard cookies. These ginger snaps are more of just a ginger cookie because they are so soft, moist and chewy. Just looking at them makes my mouth water.
Gingerbread Men
Look how cute these little guys turned out. They also tasted just as good.
Quinceanera
This is the biggest cake I have made in a long time. It was so stressful, and it didn't help that someone broke the power lines down the road with a tree. I was without power for four hours and every minutes counted on this cake. The bottom tier is vanilla with strawberry filling. It has fiver layers of cake. The middle tier was red velvet and had six layers of cake. The top tier was marble with chocolate mousse. It was a fun cake to make but so stressful.
Thai Peanut Noodles
This is one of our favorite meals in our house and it's so quick and easy. I can't wait to share this with everyone at the cafe.
Biscuits and Gravy
You can honestly get biscuits and gravy anywhere. But how many places can you get them made fresh, from scratch daily. Along with the gravy? We make everything from scratch at the cafe. No preservatives, no chemicals with only fresh ingredients daily.
Strawberries, Strawberries, Strawberries
This has been one of the most popular cakes I have ever made. It stands over 6 inches tall, has three layers of vanilla bean cake with strawberry mousse filling and whipped vanilla bean buttercream. Fresh strawberries are added for that extra sweetness and beauty.
As long as strawberries are available this will be the daily cake that you can order by the slice at the cafe.
Chocolate Covered Strawberries
I love Chocolate covered strawberries. Just like everyone right? The perfect gift for the special lady in your life.
Strawberry Crepes
Who doesn't love a good yummy crepe?!
Strawberry and cream crepes will be on the menu at the cafe when we open.
Starry Starry Night
This cake was so much fun to make. I am far from being a master like Van Gogh, but it was fun to recreate one of my favorite paintings on a cake.
The cake itself is vanilla bean cake with strawberry mousse filling and vanilla bean buttercream.
The technique used was small strokes with paint palette knives.
