To kick off our busy season in the bakery department, I had a wedding cake and a gender reveal cake to bake this weekend. Both pretty little cakes. I predict a busy summer in our future! -MM

Welcome to my Blog! My world is my husband and son (soon to be moving into his own home) and my step-children (fully grown) and our two cats who are definitely ying and yang. My day job is as Deputy Clerk of my home town in Western, NY but when I get home I have two side gigs, one as a professional private baker, and two, as an Etsy shop owner selling vintage and antique dishes and accessories. I have been gardening and growing my own food since my grandfather taught me at the ripe old age of 5. I stitch, I bake, I grow food, I can and preserve, I grocery shop to save money and eat well and boy do I have massive to-do lists. I hope you enjoy my day to day writings. View more posts

I love the simple elegance of the wedding cake. I want to know more about the flowers, they are very beautiful but I’ve never seen anything like them.

  Kathy they are gum paste flowers. They almost feel like plaster when you hold them. They come in white and you can airbrush them any color you like. When I ordered them I didn’t realize they would be quite that big so in hindsight I should have ordered 1-1/2″ roses instead of the 3″ roses. But they were still pretty 🙂

    I wondered, because they look pretty solid; they really make a nice statement on that cake.
