I digress…
Anyway, a few months ago I got together with one of my favorite people, Jean from Violet’s Flowers to work on a project. We were both involved in putting together an article for an industry magazine, Flowers &. Flowers & Magazine is put out by Teleflora.
I wrote the magazine article, which was all about how to incorporate fresh flowers with high end fondant cake design. Written, of course, from the point of view of a caker.
I had an absolute blast designing and creating 4 cakes with Jean, which were then photographed by my husband, Michael from Happenstance Photography. Each cake was loosely themed around a season:
Winter: White cake with snowflakes and LED lights all over it, separated by lush blooms in shades of pink and white
Spring: Hot pink cake with flame colored tulips, kumquats, and split leaf philodendron.
Summer: Waves of white fondant wrapped around round tiers, hand painted green leaf accents, with fresh purple Vanda orchids “glued” on with frosting.
Autumn: Pale cocoa fondant, handpainted with orange-tinted cocoa. It was surrounded by a “cage” mad eof curly willow, and accented with chocolate colored fresh cymbidium orchids.
Anyway, the article came out at the beginning of October, and I’m THRILLED with it. 8 full pages, large gorgeous photos, and everything!
Check out our Facebook page for the full article!
Awesome review!
Friday, June 5th, 2009How awesome is that? I love hearing people compliment the ease and fail-safe nature of our mixes, but baking drunk on top of that? Awesome.
Just received an email, letting me know that Chow.com was recommending our Chai Shortbread Cookie Mix. Click here to see their write up.

First Magazine Shoot!
Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008
Hey all,So today was an event I’ve been looking forward to for a few weeks – I was asked to provide a cake for a Minnesota Bride photo shoot! This would be my first magazine shoot, so that’s a cool milestone.
The idea was to make something “spring” oriented, and they requested a new version of one of my recent wedding cakes – the piped meringue flowers one.. only in bright colors. How fun! Not fun to pipe, just fun to see it come together. I wonder if they read my blog entry on the first one, and how much I hate piping flowers? They’d have to be sadists, in that case, LOL.
While it’ll be cool to see the finished layout, I don’t have a ton to report on how the day went. I dropped the cake off early this morning, then had to hightail it over for a physical therapy appointment. (No good news to report on that front, I’m afraid!). Then I had to bide my time until I was to pick up the cake at the end of the shoot.
Wedding Cakes : A Design Source.. again!
Tuesday, August 5th, 2008
Woo! 
Just received the next issue of Wedding Cakes: A Design Source mag in the mail (I hate waiting the extra month or so for it to get to book stores, so I order it direct from the UK now!).. and we have not 1, but *3* cakes pictured inside!
Still wondering what happened with the color of the third photo (on page 112), but whatever. Exciting anyway!
International Fame! (Or something like it, anyway!)
Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008A few months ago, I submitted some photos to my favorite cake related publication – “Wedding Cakes: A Design Source”. It’s a magazine out of the UK and is basically.. cake porn. LOL. Hundreds of gorgeous cakes in each issue.. and pretty much nothing but! I make a point to buy every issue, and like to have them on hand for cake consults – it’s great to have such a variety of techniques in one spot! Very handy.
Anyway.. received an email this morning. They selected some of my work to be published in the next issue, which comes out tomorrow! I have no idea which photo(s) they picked, or how many.. but I find this pretty cool. First time I’ve had my work in a magazine!
So, I called the Barnes and Noble to find out when it will *actually* be in stores on this
continent.. most importantly, their store. They have *no* idea. Sigh. Looks like it could be anytime in the next few weeks. I’ll definitely have to keep my eye out!
For those interested, it will be in issue 27. Issue 26 is currently on shelves, it has a pink cover. The new one will have a tealish cover. Here’s the image they sent me for promotional purposes:
So.. check it out!
