2015 Update and New Projects!

Hi Blog World,
It's halfway through 2015! Where does time go? Over the past two years there have been lots of changes: I moved to LA, I started running and completed 7 half marathons so far, and have tried to live a healthier lifestyle, which means FAR less baking... But I'm still baking for special occasions, or by request :)

Here are some recent baking projects that I've done:

Minion Cake for my nephew's 2nd birthday!
Harry - the newest minion?

Happy 2nd Birthday Harry!

Bridal Shower Cookies and Cupcakes for my dear friend's bridal shower! The theme was 'girly' so I went with pink, white and gold, and used lace as my inspiration.
Lace/doily hearts
More doilies
Strawberry Cupcakes with Vanilla Buttercream Roses

The sweet spread
Zoo Baby Shower Cupcakes for my best friend's baby shower!
Lions and Tigers and Panda Bears, Oh My! (and Zebras!)

Lions!

Pandas!

Tigers!

Zebras!

The whole display!
Pies! My mom and I took a pie making class from the wonderful Kate McDermott (http://artofthepie.com/) and I've been practicing my skills!

Apricot Pie fresh from the oven

Mom and I with our finished pies!
Mom and I with the Amazing Kate!!

Triple Berry pie! (not enough egg wash...but still tasty)

Peach pie ready for the oven!


I have a couple more big projects in the coming month, which I'll be sure to document here. One bachelorette party, and a WEDDING CAKE! The special challenge with the wedding cake is that the wedding is in Oakland...and I live in LA...so there will be lots of travel/logistics involved. Stay tuned!!
