The cake in the center is gorgeous with fun fondant flowers decorating the tiers. I’m not even sure Read More

Black and green usually isn’t a color combination that jumps out at me. It actually sort of reminds me of bruising…but I digress, because in this instance it makes perfect sense. The four-tiered cake has alternate Read More

Grandview Peony Cake
Well, Honey, Bless Your Heart.
I have mentioned my deep and abiding love for buttercream – I’m almost certain of it.
