A little about me...

They say you can't have your cake and eat it too... Well, I say you CAN!

Hi my name is Dottie. I am a wife, mother and baker.

I love cake. And even more than I love cake, I LOVE frosting. Put us together and something magical happens! I love trying new recipes and flavors!

Happy Birthday Grandpa John!


This cake was for my grandpa's 80th birthday this past weekend, he was a teacher and football coach and loves football... so I thought a "book cake (he taught Government)" - White Raspberry cake with White Chocolate buttercream, "football field" was a 3 layer lemon cake with lemon cream cheese buttercream and raspberry fillings, and the football (which everyone said was the best!) was a moist chocolate cake with carmel swiss meringue buttercream filling. The filling was SOooooo good. I ate a piece of each cake, which most of us did - and they were all good but the White Raspberry was my favorite :)
Happy 80th!

Baby Shower

I LOVED making these cute chocolate carriages as toppers for these cupcakes!
They were all chocolate/cream cheese cupcakes. Cute AND yummy!

Church activity

These fun cupcakes were for a young men/young women activity a few nights ago... I am told the Pink Lemonade ones were delish!
Chocoloate/Chocolate, White/Vanilla and Pink Lemonade/Lemon Buttercream.

BEAUTIFUL Wedding



This cake was so gorgeous - and so was the bride! The middle two layers were real cake - 8" square white cake with white chocolate buttercream and 12" round carrot cake with cream cheese frosting - and the top tier was a round 6"x6", bottom tier 14" square, decorated with the damask pattern. This cake was almost 2 feet tall! The decorations there were done by Embellish the Moment (www.embellishthemoment.net)
