Take a look at these beautiful cake stands. That is if you can see past the skyline of sweets. I absolutely love this photo. Love it. I wish I could enlarge it and wallpaper my kitchen with it. This photo and the rest in this post (taken by Ashley Rose Photography) are photos of cakes from my friend Melody’s shop, My Sweet & Saucy. We’ve been internet buds from way back when I had a blogspot.com address. And since then, she’s gone from blogger herself, to superstar baker, making the most gorgeous cakes and working with the likes of Tori Spelling, Miley Cyrus and more. I just wish she wasn’t all the way in California. Actually, it’s a good thing I’m not in driving distance. For my waistline anyway.
Oh dear. I need a pink ruffle cake in my life.
Pronto.
Look at all these cakes. I mean pedestals. Big ones. Little ones. Tall ones. Short ones.
Melody also has an online store where you can find them all in one place.
Yes, pedestals. Like this pretty little pink one. Perfect for a petite little cake.
Or stack two and you can fill it with sweet little treats.
Wait, you mean you don’t have a large and small pink glass pedestal or a sweet glass dome?
That’s terrible. Unthinkable.
Would you like one? I mean all three pieces in the photo above?
I thought you might.
Melody is giving them away to one of my readers. Yippee! Thanks Melody!

I actually sometimes make cake for no reason just because I like it, it looks pretty and it’s a great way to share, Last time was today to surprise my family when they came back from work, I think it’s nice to come home tired or so and be received that way, makes you feel loved and appreciated.
Last friday yum!
We made cute little mini cupcakes for a church activity just yesterday. It’s always fun to have my boys help me in the kitchen.

We celebrated my daughter’s third birthday last month with yummy homemade cake.
I am known for my love of baking cakes and my ministry is baking cakes and sharing them with others, especially each week at my Bible study group. We eat lunch together and I am always the one who bakes the dessert, which is almost always cake. I love cake stands as much as I love baking the cakes. The presentation is everything!!! My motto is: Eat dessert first!!! Love & blessings from NC!
Last Sunday for my father’s bday…………will have more cake in three weeks for my hubby’s bday – his standing order is chocolate cake with chocolate frosting, he cuts a big slice, puts it in a bowl and pours ice cold milk over the top. It’s a slice of heaven for him. :-)

Love pedastal cake plates. Love love love!!! Well for some reason I got voted to make or buy the cake for my brother in laws birthday party. I tried to make a cake with pans that were too shallow* sigh* spilled all over my BRAND NEW oven* sigh* the center never set up and I ended up calling a local bakery and had to buy a cake!!! I have a pretty stocked kitchen. How could I not have decent round cake plates! Anyways I do now and these plates would be the perfect excuse to break in my new pans. Ha ha. All in all it was probably best since my shallow pans were heart shaped and that might have been slightly awkward… ;-)
I made mini coconut cupcakes for my going-away party with my co-workers from the job I left, and they were so cute…and delicious! =)

I bake cakes every month for my workgroup to celebrate all the birthdays for the month. We are a workgroup of 26 people on two shifts so I bake ALOT and I love doing it. Some months they get cakes, some months-cupcakes, and some months, cakepops. I always try to be festive and do different things. Plus, baking is calming for me-my husband passed away last July and I spend a lot of time in my kitchen on the weekends baking. It’s good therapy.
friend’s birthday!
I’m a girl that loves me some cake so any occasion is an occasion for cake, but the last time I had the chance to partake was just a couple of weeks ago for my sis-in-law’s birthday. Hooray for homemade pineapple-orange cake!
