Return of the Ninja
I could go into a hundred reasons why I stopped posting here, but none of them are good reasons. So instead of trying to justify it, I’m choosing to simply accept that it happened and move forward. There have been many cakes in my life since my little hiatus. And while unfortunately, I cannot give […]
Niki and Patrick’s Santa Cruz Ocean Wedding
Niki was my perfect college roommate. No one else (except perhaps my own mother) would have put up with my shenanigans the way she did. We gossiped and adventured our way through our first and second years at UC Santa Cruz. We were a slightly peculiar duo that had somehow been matched together through the […]
Kris and Ragena’s Wedding

The design was lovingly plucked from this Etsy store. So sweet:) The wedding took place at the Fox Theatre […]

Happily Ever After

Welcome
On April 6, 2009 my journey began. It was a journey filled with new people, new rules, early morning hours, and plenty of pastry cream. It required dedication, teamwork, respect, clean uniforms, and an insatiable passion for building things out of delicious food. I had left my previous career as a Stage Manager to pursue […]
