Lemon Drop Cake


We have a Winner!


Lemon Cake with Lemon Curd Filling and Lemon Buttercream. Soft lemon hints in the cake and frosting. Bright lemon filling really brings the flavor.


I agree this will be the best cake of the three to construct a wedding cake.

Champagne Cake with Champagne Custard Filling and Champagne Whipped Cream Frosting


First runner up.


Very delicate cake. Frosting was a light whipped cream. Champagne brought its own unique flavor. Custard helped to keep the cake very moist.

Fluffy Yellow Cake with Vanilla Buttercream


This was the third runner up.

Fluffy yellow cake filled and frosted with vanilla buttercream.

Cake Tasting

My cousin is getting married this March and I've been tasked with making my first wedding cake. I am honored to make such a special cake and touched of my family's trust in my growing skill.

Citrusy Angel Food Cake

I've been inspired by my sister and this is the first bake of that inspiration. She sent me an article regarding how to improve your baking skills without going to pastry school. The advice was to simply bake something new once a month and a list was provided with a variety of different cakes.
The cake itself wasn't as citrusy as I would have liked, but the glaze more than made up for it. I think it was a thumbs up at the office. It was gone within a couple hours.
