Here are a few of my recent projects. Please note that I'm not taking orders anymore, but I'm still planning to keep a photo diary, of sorts, here. As always, your fandom is much appreciated!

Greeting faithful fans! Most of you know that I cut back significantly on taking orders when our puppy arrived last February. I've decided that I won't be returning to cake decorating as a business endeavor. It's taken me quite some time to be sure, so that's why the radio silence for so long. I'm going to keep my page up, as I may be back some day, as in when I retire from WMU! I still love decorating, but will only do it is a hobby for now. Your loyal support over the last few years has kept me going and is very much appreciated. Till we meet again, much love and cake happiness!

Happy 4th of July, fans! Sending greetings to you on this beautiful Michigan morning with this rustic flag cake!

Although my schedule still won't permit me to come back to decorating full time, I was able to squeeze in a few orders this weekend: 100 mini red velvet cupcakes for Dillons graduation from Paw Paw and Happy Birthday to Morgan on her second birthday!

Took a sabbatical from my sabbatical to make this cake for the lovely Mira.. Happy Birthday to you!

Happy St. Patrick's Day fans!!!

Here is a picture of Jeff with his cake. He has the best smile!!

Happy Valentine's day fans!!

A super hero cake for a super guy named Jeff! You might remember Jeff's infectious smile when he saw the Mickey Mouse cake that I made for him last year. I again hooked up with Cakes Against Cancer to bring this cake to Jeff for his 5th birthday. He is still fighting the battle, but looking good! Happy birthday to Jeff!!

Pile of puppies! No, these guys aren't made of cake; they are, indeed, real. And one of them is coming home with us in just under three weeks! We are very excited, but this means I will need to take a break from cakes for a bit. No worries, though, I plan to get back on the cake train in the spring. Many thanks to my adoring fans for all of your loyal support over the past few years!!
