Everywhere I go, I hear of yet another mama that's expecting or just delivered.  It's that time of year! My buddy Kristen asked me to whip up some cookies for a baby shower and specifically requested baby carriages and onesies.  The mama to be is having a little man, so we did everything ...

Cadbury Creme Egg Fun

Portfolio: Bridal Bustier Cake

When I first started getting serious about decorating cakes, one of the first ones I ever did was a bustier cake for a wedding shower in honor of my friend Courtney.  It was a simple little number, but everyone was really impressed and that cake encouraged me to keep going and keep ...
