Hey guys, today I’m so excited to tell you all about my new ebook, “The Naked Cake, A Step-by-Step Guide.” This tutorial is something I did the bulk of the work on years ago, and– fun fact– it was actually for a double wedding! The cake made for this book was actually 2, twin cakes! […]
This homemade Pesto Caprese Salad is one of the most fresh, delicious, and simple ways to dress up your dinner table. This salad is beautiful, delicious, light, and oh-so easy to make!
If there’s anything I’m loving right now, it’s this recipe for simple puff pastry. Puff pastry is one of those things that feels like it should be really hard to make, but to my delight… It’s actually really not. Those beautiful, fluffy pastry layers can be made at home, by you, without too much stress […]

Let me tell you, making gum paste roses (which definitely requires both hands) and taking pictures of the process (alone) is not easy. Especially when the sun dips behind a cloud every few seconds, making my camera settings need to be adjusted frequently. I feel like I should win some kind of prize… Anyway, on […]
Continuing on from My Last Post, today I’m going to teach you how to make the second part of the edible rose… The rose bud! Before we get into it, however, I want to remind you: my rose tutorials have longs lists of tools and instructions, but don’t be intimidated! They aren’t that difficult, once […]
Hey everybody! Today I want to start the process of teaching you how to make a simple gum paste rose; i.e, an edible, realistic looking rose for decorating cakes.
