Mia's 2-year old Birthday Cake

Mia, my adorable neighbor, turned 2 in January.  This was my gift to her.  As you can tell, she loves music--just like her mommy!

Veggie Bouquet, Strawberry Chocolate Tree, Fruit Platters

My team of five made these stunning edible displays for the Father Daughter Dance our church holds every year.  We amazed ourselves!

Birthday cake with Chocolate Ganache

I made this cake for my beautiful friend, Laurie Scott, on her something-something birthday.  I made two different cakes but both were covered in chocolate ganache.  The top one was chocolate cake with browned butter cream cheese filling with my homemade toffee bits added to that (4 layers).  The bottom cake was vanilla sour cream cake with a homemade bavarian cream filling (using a split vanilla bean--so yummy!).  Made with lots of love!  Happy Birthday, my dear friend.

Cookies with the Chula Vista Mayor

My husband and I are part of a volunteer team called CAST--Citizens' Adversity Support Team in Chula Vista.  I made cookies for the new graduates.  We are first responders when there is a death, fire or tragedy in Chula Vista.  The training is phenomenal!  The cookies are pretty good, too.
