Spiral Knights Cake!

I’m thrilled to say that last week Spiral Knights (the game Ian is art lead for) went up on Steam! To celebrate I made a cake based on the game’s treasure block! It did not explode in confetti and items, but it was made of confetti cake! Last weekend I also made a simple Strawberry [...]

Congratulations Mark and Kat!

A couple of friends were awesome and gave me the honor of doing their wedding cake. Ian sculpted their cake toppers. The delivery was the longest drive I’ve done with a finished wedding cake at an hour or so.  (Coming in second is an 10 hour drive with a half built wedding cake). Aside from [...]

Today’s project was to organize and bound them all together. Pen, hole punch, and binder in hand: I cranked up some Beyonce and dove at the pile. [...]

Flight Delight

This past weekend we had the pleasure of heading to Hartford, Connecticut for Connecticon. I often long to be back on the East coast and think fondly of it’s falls and winters. Stepping off the plane in Hartford I immediately remembered why I do not remember so fondly of it’s summers! The humidity made if [...]

Occasions for cake.

This month has left me with many a reason to make cakes, making it a good month. I started out with a birthday at the OOO Office. I always enjoy doing cakes for them because they just give me a theme and let me run with this. The first was a cake for a gentleman [...]

Anime Central ’09

Earlier this month we travelled to Rosemont, IL for the illustrious convention, Anime Central. This was our first time at this particular convention and I have to say, we were really treated like kings. They set us up with non-stop flights on Southwest. This alone was awesome! I don’t think I’ve ever been on a [...]
