This one was extra special. 💜

My oldest niece made sure to let me know that her Mama’s favorite color is purple, so purple it was. 💜🥹

I waited until everyone went to bed last night before I started on the fillings, buttercream and stacking this absolute MONSTER of a cake 😂, then crumb coated her and tucked her into the fridge for the night. This afternoon, my sister and all of her girls got a front-row seat while I decorated it—which was such a fun little change from my usual cake-making routine. They got to watch the plain crumb-coated cake turn into this in real time. 💜

Having them here this weekend has meant more to me than I can put into words. My sister has always been my best friend (aside from my husband, of course 😂), and going from living just 23 minutes apart to being more than 3 hours away has easily been one of the hardest adjustments of our move. So when I saw her car pull up yesterday, I was SO happy. ❤️

Tonight we sang Happy Birthday, cut into this absolutely insane cake, and oh. my. WORD. 🤤

This was my first go at a Banoffee-inspired cake, and I think we may have accidentally created a new favorite:

🍌 Banana cake
🤎 Dulce de leche buttercream
✨ Dulce de leche sauce
🍌 Banana compote
🍫 Chocolate fudge cake
🤎 More dulce de leche buttercream
🌰 A homemade crunchy chocolate hazelnut layer
…and then WE DID IT ALL AGAIN. 😂

Crumb coated in dulce de leche buttercream and finished in vanilla buttercream with all that vintage purple piping for the birthday girl. 💜

And when I tell y’all this cake was GOOD. 🤤 The banana, chocolate, caramel, hazelnut, and that little bit of crunch… every single layer worked together.

Happy Birthday to my sister, my best friend, and one of the people I genuinely could not do life without. I hate having 3+ hours between us now, but weekends like this one make my heart very, very happy. ❤️

Happy Birthday, Lindsey Lu. I love you. 💜

Officially a HANDFUL! ✋🏻🎉

Remember last week when I shared the chocolate-on-chocolate cake for one of my repeat customers’ husbands… and mentioned that after trying her Daddy’s cake, Paisley immediately decided she wanted the same thing for her birthday?! 😂

Welllllll, it’s Paisley’s turn! 💕

She’s celebrating the big FIVE tomorrow with the cutest colorful Officially a Handful theme, and when it came time to design her cake, I knew one thing:

I was NOT covering an entire cake in handprints. 😂✋🏻

Instead, I pulled all of the pretty pastel colors from her party theme and just ran with them! Pink, purple, blue, green, yellow, lots and LOTS of buttercream, and a custom sprinkle mix I put together specifically to tie everything in. And y’alllllll. 😍 I am SO happy with how this one turned out!

And inside?

And who am I to argue about flavor with the birthday girl?!

Happy 5th Birthday, Paisley!! 🥳💕 I hope being officially a handful is everything you dreamed it would be. 😂✋🏻🎂

First cake officially out the door from the new Confections by Katherine kitchen! 🥹🍰🤎

And I couldn’t have asked for a better one to kick things off!

This one was for one of my sweet repeat customers and friends who has been making quite the drive to me for her cakes for a while now—and somehow our move actually brought me a little closer to her! 😂 She still drove an HOUR to pick this one up, but hey… we’re making progress. 🤣🤎

The request for her husband’s birthday was simple: CHOCOLATE. ON. CHOCOLATE. And I was absolutely here for it. 😍

🍫 Chocolate Fudge Cake
🍫 Rich Chocolate Buttercream
✨ Gold accents

I wanted to keep the vintage piping style I love while making it a little less ruffles and bows and a little more birthday-boy appropriate. 😂 So I tried a new style of swags, added those gold pearls, and I LOVE how rich and elegant it turned out!

But my favorite part came after pickup…

“I have never had a chocolate cake that I enjoyed but this one?! Amazing!!! I couldn’t quit eating it.”

MA’AM. 😭😭😭 That is the kind of cake review I will happily live off of for the foreseeable future. 😂

And apparently the espresso powder experiment was a SUCCESS. 👀☕️🍫

First cake in the new house: DONE. 🤎
And I get to see this sweet family again next weekend for their daughter’s cake! 🥹🫶🏻

A bittersweet way to end this chapter. 🥹🎈

These sweet sibling birthday cakes were the very last cakes to come out of my kitchen before moving day.

These orders were booked months before we ever knew we’d be packing up our home, and I loved the theme far too much not to see it through… even if that meant finishing them at 5:30 this morning and surviving today on about three hours of sleep. 😂🙃

One birthday boy, one birthday girl, lots of balloons, party hats, buttercream, sprinkles, and the cutest little safari animals. I couldn’t have asked for a sweeter way to wrap up this season.

✨ Marble Cake

As exhausted as I am today, I can’t help but smile knowing these two cakes were the final creations to leave the kitchen that has been home to so many birthdays, weddings, baby showers, and celebrations over the past few years.

Now… it’s time to make memories (and plenty more cake) in a brand new kitchen. ❤️

Ending the weekend with one more sweet celebration! ⛳️💚

This little smash cake was created to match the birthday invitation, and I had so much fun bringing the theme to life!

The only request? A golf course on top. ⛳️

Everything else was left up to me, so I used the soft blue, mint, and cream gingham from the invitation as inspiration for the buttercream design. I love when a cake ties everything together and feels like it belongs with the rest of the party.

This order also included two dozen coordinating cupcakes in matching colors to complete the dessert table!

One year later… and another Silly Goose has waddled into my kitchen. 🪿🌸

Almost exactly one year ago, I made my very first “One Silly Goose” cake.

Fast forward a year, and I got to revisit the theme—but with a new vision and a much smaller canvas. Lol

I loved leaning into the whimsy of this one with vintage piping, sweet little geese, delicate roses, and grassy details that make it feel like they wandered straight out of a storybook.

It’s so much fun looking back and seeing how much my decorating style has evolved over the last year. I can’t wait to see where the next year takes me. 🥹🪿

Turning down orders has gotten harder than I expected… 😂

This cake almost didn’t make it onto my schedule.

With our move quickly approaching, I’ve been trying to be intentional about limiting how many extra orders I take. But then I found out this customer was the friend of one of my most loyal customers, and that my cakes had been raved about.

Well… how was I supposed to say no after that? 🥹😂

The birthday request? A Minecraft-themed “6 ➡️ 7” cake for a brand new 7-year-old!

I wasn’t exactly sure how I was going to bring the idea to life, so I sent my ideas over to Kat at The Edible Paper Store, and she absolutely knocked it out of the park with these custom toppers, as always! They were exactly what this cake needed. I mean, the party hats on the characters? Come. On. 😍

Happy 7th Birthday! I hope your celebration was just as fun as this cake was to create! 💚

This is a post I’ve been putting off writing because, if I’m honest… I wasn’t quite ready.

As of July 31st, we will officially be moving away from the Brandon area. Our family is being led in a new direction, and after MANY prayers, we are taking the leap of faith and jumping headfirst into a new chapter.

While this is an exciting opportunity for our family, saying goodbye to the community that helped build Confections by Katherine is incredibly bittersweet.

Over the past several years, you’ve trusted me with your birthdays, weddings, baby showers, anniversaries, retirements, and “just because” celebrations. You’ve supported my family through a deployment, cheered me on through pregnancies, maternity leave, and business milestones, and somehow turned what started as a hobby into something I never imagined it could become.

I truly cannot thank you enough.

Because of this move, I will not be accepting any new local orders moving forward. If you already have an order booked with me, don’t worry! I will absolutely be honoring every order currently on my calendar, including those booked into early 2027.

To everyone who has ever ordered a cake, shared a post, recommended my business, left a kind review, or simply cheered me on… thank you. Every single order has meant far more to me than you probably realize.

While it’s hard to say goodbye, this isn’t the end of Confections by Katherine—just the beginning of a new chapter in a new place. I can’t wait to see what God leads our family to next, and I hope you’ll continue following along as I rebuild my little business on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

From the bottom of my heart…

Thank you for letting me be a small part of so many of your sweetest memories.

With love,
Katherine
