Some venues are just 𝘵𝘩𝘦 venue you've dreamed of delivering to, and for me, the George Peabody Library has always been one of them.

I arrived just before the ceremony, but because the room wasn't being flipped for cocktail hour yet, I had to set up behind a folding screen. While I wasn't able to photograph the cake in all her glory, I still snapped some pics before taking in the incredible beauty of this library. It's every bit as breathtaking in person as you've imagined. I cannot wait to see the professional pics of the cake in this setting!

Now... let's talk about this cake. She was 𝗛𝗘𝗔𝗩𝗬.

By the time I finished decorating, I could barely wrestle her into the refrigerator. A coworker had to help me get her into my car, and when she showed up with her teenage son, I knew I was saved. Then, at the venue, one of the caterers came to the rescue and lifted her onto the cake stand.

Needless to say, I spent the day wondering if she was actually going to make it to the party. Thankfully, she did. Whew!

Made to serve 90, this beauty was chocolate chip cake with cannoli filling and finished in vanilla buttercream with my favorite vintage piping.

Some cakes are memorable because of the design. Some because of the venue. This one will always be remembered for both... and for the workout it gave everyone involved!

If you've followed my work for any length of time, you already know... vintage piping has my heart. 🤍

The swags, ruffles, shells, and delicate details remind me of old-world elegance, and I never get tired of creating cakes like this one.

This three-tier wedding cake was made for a beautiful celebration at St. Albans School in Washington, D.C. The historic grounds and cathedral setting were absolutely breathtaking. Walking through the gardens and seeing the towering architecture made it feel like the perfect backdrop for a timeless wedding cake.

The bride and groom chose a classic pairing of red velvet cake finished entirely in vanilla buttercream with layers upon layers of vintage piping. Topping it all off was a whimsical cake topper that made me smile—it was such a fun contrast to the elegance of the cake itself and a reminder that weddings should reflect the couple's personalities.

Simple. Romantic. Timeless.

These are the kinds of cakes I'll never stop loving.

Congratulations to the happy couple! Thank you for allowing me to be a small part of such a beautiful day. Wishing you both a lifetime filled with love, laughter, and happily ever after.

Graduation season is in full swing, and this celebration was all about honoring two members of the Class of 2026—Benjamin and Mason! 🎓

Mom came to me with a design she loved, and together we created this classic graduation dessert set featuring a chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream and coordinating vanilla cupcakes topped with vanilla buttercream.

The timeless navy and white color palette, and the graduation cap, diploma, and elegant piping details, made for a design that felt both celebratory and sophisticated—perfect for marking such an important milestone.

Congratulations, Benjamin and Mason! Wishing you both all the best as you begin the next chapter of your journeys. Here's to new opportunities, exciting adventures, and a future filled with success!

Sometimes the best cake orders arrive at the most unexpected times.

While I was in Italy, I received a call about a last-minute engagement cake needed the week I returned home. Normally, squeezing an order into an already busy schedule can be challenging, but this one was an easy yes.

The cake was for a coworker who has been one of my biggest supporters throughout my cake journey. He has always cheered me on and trusted me with his family's celebrations. How could I possibly say no?

Then he sent me their engagement photo.

Just look at that backdrop! The mountains, the sunset, the moment itself—it looks like something straight out of a movie.

As always, he gave me complete creative liberty. The only non-negotiable was the flavor: key lime pie cake, a family favorite and the perfect choice for a summer engagement celebration.

For the design, I kept things elegant and timeless with a delicate floral texture that let the occasion speak for itself.

Congratulations, Sarah and Andrew! Wishing you both a lifetime of love, laughter, adventure, and beautiful memories together. Thank you for allowing me to play a small part in celebrating the beginning of your next chapter. ❤️
