🌶️ a Tajini bit older 🍸

Created for the one who made me a mom! She’s spicyyyyyy (with a side of sweet), and so stinking fun! 🥳

The cake was my signature Biscoff (she requests it every year), and cake pops were Key Lime. YUM!!

Anyone else spinning this summer?! WHOA! 🙃

It's been an insane past few months, with another couple of crazy ones ahead. I've recently had to turn down several orders, and would love to be able to recommend other bakers/decorators. If you or someone you know are in the business of cake art, tag them below so I can add them to my list!!

*Edited to add: I was able to find someone! THANK YOU so much for your responses… WOW!! I’m grateful for such an overwhelming number of you being willing to help.♥️

Sullivan area locals: Does anyone offer 3-D printing?! I need a couple of apparently-hard-to-find cookie cutters ASAP 😬

Key Lime seasonnnnnn 🍋‍🟩

As stated by this cake’s recipient, “It was the perfect balance of sweet and tart… the key lime wasn’t overwhelming… it was just right.”

Fluffy key lime cake + a creamy, lightly lime-kissed Swiss Meringue Buttercream makes this SUCH a refreshing choice for a summer party! If you like the tartness, a key lime curd added to the filling would take this over the top! 🤤

Aren’t these fun?! There’s sooooooo much cake in this little can… equivalent to TWO cake slices!

Get yours at Sugar and Spice Book Cafe tomorrow only, 8-11 am 🇺🇸

Obsessed with these dreamy mini cakes 😍

Not gonna lie—three nights of working late on these, only to have to redo them in 10 hours through a fourth late night, just about DID ME IN. 😅

But every customer deserves my best effort and a quality product, no matter what challenges or disasters may occur (like 9,000,000% humidity inside the shop).

Sometimes baking is equal parts skill, creativity, and problem-solving. And also big doses of crying and cursing. Maybe also a slight desire to run away.

It’s fine now, though; I’m fine 😉
