Sundbakes

I'm excited for all of your baby showers, birthdays, and bridal showers this summer! A floral cake is perfect any time women are gathering to celebrate one another. 💐

I just opened dates for September, so if your event is this summer or early fall, now is the perfect time to reserve your cake or macarons.

A gorgeous floral cake is the perfect gift for your mom, sister, daughter, or friend. It's also the perfect gift for yourself!

I wish you could see the texture on this cake in person. I use a palette knife to build the flowers layer by layer, and always design on the fly.

It's like buttercream Bob Ross! A happy flower here, happy flower there.

If you need a gorgeous gift that is easy to order but feels so special, a floral cake is the answer!

A hectic week, fully booked with cake and macaron orders, but never too busy for homemade pasta!

I've been making pasta for over 15 years. I bought my first pasta maker and a beautiful Italian cookbook for myself on my 25th birthday. If you scroll to the end of this post, you'll see a picture of 25 year-old-me teaching myself to make pasta for the first time. I was practically a baby!

I hope you get to try freshly made pasta in your life, it is truly one of the greatest foods of all time.

Real thought I had while making pasta this week: "Wait...am I the Stanley Tucci of Minot?" Quickly followed by "No...I would need to wear structured clothes for that. Never mind."

While Jeff was making ragu sauce and I was kneading the dough, we listened to a Bob Newhart comedy album from 1960 that Jeff got for one dollar. It was wonderful! I can't believe how topical it was. One of the sets was about discount airlines which could have been written today. 66 years and flying still sucks in the exact same way! We couldn't stop laughing, it was timeless.

I finished my embroidery of our dog Foggy by placing him in some grass and wildflowers. He looks so real!

I'm fully booked for the next few weeks, but be sure to get your summer orders in. I can't wait to make tasty cakes and macarons for you.

I may not be the Stanley Tucci of Minot, but maybe I could be the Julia Child of 27th St. NW.

With heart,
Elizabeth
