Last Call for Pumpkin Cheesecake!


It's hard to believe that it's ALMOST Thanksgiving! Despite the crazy rush that comes with this time of year, it is without a doubt my favorite time of year! The friend and family favorite is my holiday Pumpkin Cheesecake. So this year, I've devoted my oven to that and that alone! If you are interested, please call or email me before November 18th and I'll put you on my list! There's limited room left on my list so the remaining space is first come-first served.

I added a pic that my mom sent me of one of my cheesecakes with some whipped cream. I make them both regular or sugar-free.

Arsenal Footballer Cake (and yes, i mean soccer...)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEON!



Well, if you know me, you know that I have major love for soccer. Football, soccer...whichever your preference, it's an awesome game. You might not know this, but I've played soccer my whole life and though I haven't played in quite a while, my heart is forever in the game. I can still be found kicking the ball around, still have my old practice goal, still have my cleats, I'm still so much a footballer. And yes, ever since I was old enough to know, I've called it football. Because soccer was football before American football was football...plus I've always thought it sounded cooler and let's face it... I desperately want to have a link to my favorite countries...even if it's only in the lingo. SO... when a neighbor asked me to make a last-minute cake for her husband, I was MORE than excited to do so. First of all, this family is one of my favorites in a MAJOR way. And secondly...umm, hello?! I get to make another cake.

So the birthday boy requested my chocolate cake and my chocolate icing. His wife simply said, "Here's a picture of his favorite football club." His team: Arsenal. The Gunners. (I guess that makes him a "gooner"... you'd have to know some of the club history to get that one...) A team out of Halloway, North London. They play in the premier league and are one of the top clubs amongst English footballers. - So my neighbors had little else to request and just said "Eh, surprise us!"... Umm, OK! I can't wait to hear and see the response to this one! I'll post about it!

This time I wanted to showcase this new style I'm developing. The style? Crisp, clean, cool, flawless, perfection with a "wow, that looks so real" kinda vibe. I want to forge my name as a source for exactly what my new, official, trademarked slogan states: "elegant cake. edible art." I guess I'll let you guys decide, but if you want my opinion?... I think it kicks you know what... in a major way.
