This is what I have named the "T&M" cake.  I prepared it for my very good friend Tana and her now husband, Mark.  I made it with 100% love and was very happy with how it turned out, but the first season it was on the website, I had more queries about this cake than any other.  I have made it numerous times in different color, shape and number of tiers.  I will continue to be asked about this cake and every time I am, it takes me back to their wedding day.  Tana & Mark, thank-you so much for letting me prepare your wedding cake!

I was making cupcakes for the family at home  yesterday and my 3 year old daughter asked if she could have a taste of the buttercream, so I let her.  She said to me "Mom, it isn't very sweet."  For all those that don't like overly sweet desserts, you have to try mine.  I am all about great quality and richness in a dessert, but am not about covering up flavor with more sugar than needed. : )

I survived my first summer with every weekend booked from May-October.  As much as I love my job and love creating different cakes every week, it is nice to take a break and spend a little time with my family.  As much free time as I thought I would have, I am finding myself just as busy, but with practice cakes, advertising, printing photos, updating my website etc.  I haven't been able to sleep because I can't stop thinking about new cakes.  I will get up 10 times after I've gone to bed to write an idea down.  I am almost considering offering cakes in the off season half price, as long as I can design it.  I have endless ideas and can't wait to do the next cake.
