Well, I have to start off by admitting this was the first week in ages that I didn't make an actual cake. But I have a really, really good excuse, trust me:Oh, hi there....I spent around an estimated three hours in my closet between Friday and Saturday night praying I wasn't about to get blown… Continue reading Mosquitoes, tornados, and hail storms- oh my!

The blog post that almost wasn't…
Go on vacation, they said. It'll be fun, they said...and then you have to adjust back to real life...no one said. I don't know if it is just me, but I have the hardest time getting back to normal life after spending a long weekend away. This may be because I have to return home… Continue reading The blog post that almost wasn't…
Classic birthday cakes (some WAY better than others) and Predator…
Every time D leaves for deployment, the floodgates open in Clovis and it rains for days on end. The funny thing about that is I always forget we have a wetlands area across the street from us that fills up in to a massive pond/small lake. Sounds nice, right? Yes...until the frogs get there. Then… Continue reading Classic birthday cakes (some WAY better than others) and Predator…
Cookie Monster cake…not just for kids!
...as in, not a single child had a piece of this cake. My husband is getting ready to go on one of his yearly government mandated vacations, so we threw him a going away bash/early birthday extravaganza at a friend's house this past Saturday. It was pretty much the child's birthday party you always wanted… Continue reading Cookie Monster cake…not just for kids!
Please tell me this looks like cake to you…
Yellow cake is arguably the best smelling of all cake flavors. So don't make the same mistake I did today and pull one out of the oven and then sit down to eat a chef salad for lunch while the cakey aroma wafts through the air...because there is nothing more unbelievably unsatisfying as eating rabbit… Continue reading Please tell me this looks like cake to you…
Royal Icing is a Royal Pain in my…
Hand. What did you think I was going to say? Okay, given my propensity for colorful language, I can see how that was misleading, and I apologize. So here's a picture of a really pretty cake I made this weekend to make up for it:Straightforward- simply cake by Kate.Better? Yes. Moving on then...this little lovely… Continue reading Royal Icing is a Royal Pain in my…
Cakes are like precious little delicious babies…right?
I'm sleep deprived and have had two mimosas today (don't judge me- Sunday was clearly made for day drinking), so I apologize in advance for going off topic. It's going to happen at some point, believe me. We're also experiencing another wonderful Clovis dust storm with 40+ mph winds, so the sky is a lovely… Continue reading Cakes are like precious little delicious babies…right?
Kate (Finally) Baked Cakes!
I know, I know...I promised a blog over the weekend, but after hanging out with friends Friday and Saturday night, I needed to recover from my social hangover. I know you may find it surprising, but I am a TOTAL introvert. I spent Sunday shooing D out of the house to go have fun at… Continue reading Kate (Finally) Baked Cakes!
Consistency is Key.
..when it comes to frosting textures that is. What, did you think I was about to go into a spiel about how consistency is key with your diet and workout plan? I mean, I totally could because I know people. And by "know people," I mean I have a very extensive Jillian Michaels DVD collection.… Continue reading Consistency is Key.
Would you prefer the bag or the gun?
As an aside before I get down to the icing on the cake (yep, I'm on a roll today, buckle up), any of you who know me know I am a fan of self-deprecating humor and backhanded compliments, so it should come as no shock I am a huge fan of Game of Thrones, and… Continue reading Would you prefer the bag or the gun?
