Confectionery Madness

A taste of Nostalgia.
Growing up, one of traditional Easter staples on our family's table was my grandma's "Boiled Babka". Yes, boiled not baked. Perfectly moist and fluffy pound cake topped with chocolate icing to-die-for. No fancy ingredients, just big flavor. Because sometimes the best desserts don't require extravagance, but rather heartfelt effort and a touch of sweetness. However this is not just another cake. It's a sensory time machine transporting me back to a place and time that holds the biggest piece of my heart - home, love and family. The aroma of butter, sugar and chocolate provides comfort, and being able to recreate those smells and tastes from the past brings a sense of peace to my ever-chaotic world.

This is one of these cakes where everything that could go wrong went wrong. Buttercream too soft, fondant too sticky, one tier in a garbage, ugh...The end result - destroyed Bowser's castle in the battle of the enemies 😂. Regardless, the look on the little man's face was absolutely priceless and worth every sleepless night 😁

First time making an Entremet cake, not too shabby 🤓
(Tiramisu - layers of genoise, mascarpone mousse, coffee cremeux, chocolate praline mousse, encased in chocolate coffee glaze - yummo!!!)

Hello, you.
I found you looking for a baker with reasonable prices, one that doesn’t charge “an arm and a leg.” You asked for recommendations, for pictures, and amongst all of the other bakeries, you liked mine.

You. Liked. Mine.

You appreciate my talent, my craft, my passion. Shortly after, you messaged me. You even went and liked my Instagram page . We exchange messages about what desserts you need for your special occasion and I send you a custom quote. You don’t reply. You ghost me.

You'll be back. You need somebody dedicated and creative. You need me. I’ll be making your desserts. We’ll work together. I just know it.

Who's ready for You?! Season 4 launched yesterday!

My apologies for being so late to the game.
I wanted to say "Thank you",from the bottom of my heart, to my family, friends, near and far, and those who stood in our corner throughout this challenging experience has been. The amount of support and encouragement we have received, regardless of the outcome, was truly overwhelming.
Huge "thank you" to my teammates Jennifer Tocker Moshier and who joined me on this journey. It was a true privilege to compete alongside such talented artists.
Congratulations to team and team for their mind blowing displays.
Obviously we were extremely disappointed, to say the least , that we were unable to deliver the piece worthy of our skill levels (time definitely got the best of us). That being said, failure is a part of success. We learn from it, grow stronger and more confident in our craft.
Till next time...
