Fans in Texas!

My sister so loving showed all of her friends my website and photos of my cakes, so when I arrived here (before I arrived, actually) on last Saturday, there were several requests that I make a cake for them. I forgot to bring recipes, so I made one of the cakes that I know fairly well -- Coconut cake. Coconut cake is my mom's favorite; she was here in Texas, too, and even though she specifically asked me to make a red velvet cake, she was happy with the coconut cake. My sisters friends thought it was pretty good too!

It was nice to bake for them. Next time I will come more prepared!

Nothing fancy...just delicious coconut cake!

Unemployment = Cakes

I was laid off of from my job at Seattle Audubon in July, after 10 1/2 years. Bitter sweet to say the least; I spent most of my adult life there. So, I'm currently looking for another full time job, one that hopefully will make it easier for me to continue to pursue my cake baking dreams! One can hope and pray.

With this new found "time" on my hands, I've been able to bake! I've done about 7 cakes in the last 3 1/2 weeks. Oh, and I launched my website. I'm excited for whats to come!

Here are a some of the cakes that I've made over the last few weeks.

Piece Vanilla Cake w/ raspberry filling and chocolate frosting
