Confections by Katherine

Sometimes cake design conversations are very professional.

And sometimes your 2-year-old niece finds party frogs at a bookstore and decides they belong on Pop’s birthday cake.

Honestly? She was right. 😂🐸🎉

This started as a rum cake with pecans, rum glaze, and a few other design ideas.

Now it looks like four mildly inconvenienced frogs were forced to attend a birthday party they didn’t RSVP to. 😂🐸🎉

Not a single frog looks excited to be here.

They’re giving:
🐸 ‘Surprise.’
🐸 ‘Happy birthday.’
🐸 ‘This meeting could have been an email.’

And honestly? They’re perfect.

Does it make sense? Not really.

Do I laugh every time I look at it? Absolutely. 😂

Happy Birthday, Dad! ❤️

💕✨ This cake was proof that turning 10 means your interests don’t have to match… they just have to make you happy. ✨💕

Emery had a vision, and that vision included:
🐱 Her tabby cat
🥎 Softball
🐍 A piebald ball python
🌈 Rainbows
☮️ Peace signs
😊 Smiley faces

And honestly? I love that for her. 😂

This adorable icon cake kept me busy until 3:00 AM, but seeing all of her favorite things come together in one cake made it worth every minute.

Inside was a 3-layer confetti cake covered in vanilla buttercream—because a cake this fun deserved a classic birthday flavor to match. 🎂✨

Happy 10th Birthday, Emery! I hope your day was every bit as colorful and unique as your cake. 💕

SHE’S BACKKKK. 😂🎂

The baby is fed.
The Alani is cold(ish).
The buttercream is whipped.
And wedding season apparently waited approximately 3 minutes for my return. 🤍

This beauty was my first cake back after maternity leave, and it feels so good to be creating again.

Thank y’all for giving me time to love on my sweet baby and for coming back when I reopened. Let’s do this. ✨
