A winter baking recap.

Experimental VD cake in technicolor. Vanilla bean cake stacked in 7 colors and filled with cream cheese frosting for my annual Valentine box.

Strawberry rhubarb party pie. Used up the last of last years rhubarb on a few lattice pies before chopping and freezing about 20lbs from this year's harvest.

Lemon, coconut, and vanilla bean wedding samples. I often make cupcakes in different flavor combinations to help betrothed couples choose their favorite :)

Poison cake for the opening of my friend josh's show Compliance. A vanilla bean cake filled with toxic green colored pastry cream. Thanks for the opportunity Josh!

Mother's day order - a carrot cake in purple and blue. 

Good Bye Cupcakes

My friend Meg left for Ohio last weekend. At various moments during the day I find myself wondering where she is and what she's doing. Did she leave NY yet? Stop at a Flying J for fuel? Settle into her new apartment? Go grocery shopping for the first time at a new store that's hard to navigate now but will be old hat within a few weeks?

Before she left we traded sweets for a hair cut. I requested bangs and she requested vanilla cupcakes with chocolate frosting. I love trades and I miss Meg.
