This is 37 friends, and I am just so incredibly grateful for everything that has brought me to where I am today. If 36 taught me one thing, it was that taking risks and putting a toe outside of your comfort zone is truly the key to propelling your dreams and goals no matter what you think or what others might say or think. In this last year, I took the plunge to launch some products for The Cake Mama- something I never dreamed I'd be able to do, and while it is still in its humble beginnings, I am so touched by the amount of support I've received and in your trust in me to bring you items that will add value to your life. We also packed our bags and moved 400km away from family and ...
Happy Birthday Cake Mama!
Whoo! This is 35 you guys! It also marks the 5th anniversary of this sweet little business of mine being totally "official"! I have shared the history of how this little venture came to be, but never in a million years did I believe or dream that it would be what it is today and I'm just so incredibly excited for what is to come.

If she had it her way, she'd probably rather be living in an apartment full of cats overlooking the Eiffel Tower, but for now she'll just have to settle for her dream as a party theme. LOL! My girls are the type that love to plan ahead for birthdays, so it's pretty safe to say that this party has been in the works for just under a year LOL! Having a baker in the house also has it's perks when it comes to special occasions and I absolutely love having free reign over desserts! Our color palette consisted of ...
A Winter ONEderland
Earlier this month we had the pleasure of celebrating our sweet son's first birthday! It was definitely a surreal moment; a whole year has passed and the little surprise we were waiting for last year is now a stumbling little eating machine! I knew that at least for Elias' first birthday we would do something wintery themed but I'm sure it'll be the last of that for a long while now (enter: Star Wars & superheroes!) so I took full advantage of it knowing full well I'll have zero creative control in the years to come. A December birthday naturally inspires ideas of snowflakes and barren trees while gingerbread and fluffy marshmallows swirled in my head as I pieced together the dessert ...
