OMG, y’all.

You know that I adore the genius, ingenuity, and hard word that is Erica O’Brien Cake. From the beginning of my work on this blog a year ago, I have followed her creative process through her blog with fascination. Right now, I’m captivated by her move across country and her hard work to get her new shop up and running in Hamden, Connecticut.

But in the midst of all the crazy that opening a business entails, Erica still finds time to be, you know, inspired, which just floors me. And she always seems to find inspiration from things mere mortals Read More

Ombre Pink Roses Cake

I am a sucker for the ombre technique of gently moving from lighter to darker shades of a color. Whether it’s a dress, a wall, a piece of stationary, or a cake – if it’s a color that I love, and the artist has used ombre, I’m in.

This cake super had me at hello. Isn’t it just perfection? Gradually moving from the palest pink to Valentine red, it’s just breathtaking. In fact, I think it’s the perfect cake to feature as we head toward the month o’ love.

This lovely cake is the work of Janet Mohapi-Banks, a wonderfully talented baker and cake artist located just outside Read More

We have to end Ruffle Week 2011 with a bang…I believe that is cake is the cake to do just that.

I’m not sure there is anything more “Fall 2011″ than Ombre & Ruffles. When you combine them, wonderful, wonderful things happen. Like this cake from Maggie Austin Cakes. (If you’d like to know about Maggie Austin Cakes – and trust me, you do – check out this week’s Round-Up for a terrific article about the artist.)

In case you have no idea what I am talking about, ombre is basically taking the same shades of one color and having the colors scale from light to dark. We’ve talked about it a time or two here. I have Read More

Let Them Eat Cake: Sunday Round Up for September 18, 2011

Pardon me while I turn down the a/c so I can bake some pumpkin muffins.

Anyone else in a rush for fall to feel like, you know, fall? Here in the extreme Southeast, we’ve learned to take our fall cues from things other than the rustle of leaves and the cooling of temperatures. How do I know it’s fall? Well…lovebugs come back for round two. (Or is it round three?) Pumpkin patches start to pop up (and we have our pictures taken in folksy settings in our tanks and shorts and flip flops.) It’s not as hot…in the evening. Meaning that it dips below, you know, eighty.

So in this weird time, where the magazines are Read More
