Joyeux Noel


My first Buche de Noel! Not too difficult to make! A chocolate genoise cake with a chocolate-brandy meringue buttercream filling and frosting. Decorated with fondant poinsettia and holly, and marzipan mushrooms. Wishing you all a very merry Christmas!

We Need a Little Christmas!


Here is a festive birthday cake I made for two co-workers, Nancy and Terry, in the Operating Room at Withrop Hospital. A Starbucks liquer-flavored chocolate cake with a sweet fluffy meringue filling and frosting. Happy Birthday Girls! Go team Winthrop!

You finally got your Manolos!

This was the perfect birthday cake for my sister. She always wanted a pair of Manolo Blahniks...well, she got them, in black of course!!! It was a chocolate cake with strawberry buttercream. Tasted like a strawberry dipped in chocolate. Delish!  Happy Birthday, Sister!!!
