The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. My name is Kate, and I am insane. For years (I'm not even kidding--at least five years), I have tried to master the art of making a roll cake. I would come up with an awesome idea, pattern,… Continue reading A Different Kind of Spring Roll

 A year ago, I was gearing up for St. Patrick's Day with this gorgeous striped shamrock cake when the world more or less ended (probably should've made that clover cake topper a 4-leafer). I had never comfort eaten cake like that before, but it became a pretty regular occurrence thereafter in 2020. Here we are,… Continue reading Taste the (Boozy) Rainbow

 There are some people in this world that hate chocolate and mint together. They're wrong. Mint and chocolate together, to me, are only rivaled by peanut butter and chocolate together, and that's just because I have a borderline unhealthy obsession with both. I absolutely love when March comes around since St. Patrick's Day is the… Continue reading Mint to Be

 I don't celebrate Valentine's Day, but I do look for literally any reason to make a tasty dessert. I really celebrate the day after Valentine's Day when I can procure 15-30 pounds of chocolate for like three bucks. But since I'm still waiting for that glorious day to come, I knew I needed to get… Continue reading A Berry Big Deal

Well, as I take an introspective look back at my 33rd year on this planet, I guess I'd have to say I am thankful for those three or four times I was able to leave my house in 2020. In all seriousness, it was a rough year for everyone, but as an introvert, 2020 had… Continue reading I Just Swanna Eat Cake

 Picture it: a glorious 48-hour window in Florida where the humidity was below 50 percent, and the temperature was low enough I could finally turn the air conditioner off. Winter was so beautiful while it lasted, but as it snow happens, the A/C is back on, and I've returned to a general existence best described… Continue reading Let It Snow or Let It Go?

Anytime we have company visit, obviously, I roll out the red carpet by serving a dessert fit for royalty. I mean, how much of a let down would it be if you came to the house of someone with a blog named "Kate Bakes Cakes," only to be served stale Oreo's or a week-old, store-bought… Continue reading For Fox Sake

 As Baketober draws to a close, I knew I needed to create one last Nightmare Before Christmas, so to speak.You could argue literally everything about this year has been one big fat nightmare before Christmas, so my final spooky bake is firing on all cylinders, really...if you've got it, haunt it, I say. Many years… Continue reading One Last Nightmare Before Christmas

I think we're all painfully aware at this point that 2020 is pretty much a sack filled with horrors (all things considered, I'm extremely glad murder hornets didn't become a bigger problem). I also happen to be a huge fan of another stitched up sack of gross curiosities- Oogie Boogie from Nightmare Before Christmas. I… Continue reading "Well, Well, Well, What Have We Here?"

 It's October, which means I can be as creepy and weird as I want and it's just considered festive, unlike the rest of the year when my dark sense of humor and love of the color black are totally lost on most. After suffering through 2020, it's possible to be dead inside but still really… Continue reading Owl About Cupcakes
