Nailed It! Come Make a Cake with Me!

/ Leave a Comment / About Holidays and Occasions / By

I’m sure this may come as a shock to many of my readers, but while I absolutely LOVE eating cake, making a cake isn’t exactly my day job. That’s not to say I would completely flop on that popular baking show (hence the chosen blog name), but I’m also not getting into a pastry chef school any time soon. 

With that said, I had the opportunity to make a cake (and cupcakes) for one of my favorite tiny humans a few weeks back. For your entertainment, and to offer up some humble baking advice, I documented my progress! So, sit back and enjoy as I tell you my colorful tale of crumbling cake, haywire (but DELICIOUS) frosting, and a little girl who loved every single bite!

Which cake should you choose for which holiday? What about friends and family with allergies? Have no fear my chocolate cake-loving friends, we’ve got everything you need to know about chocolate cake in this neatly decorated blog!

I’m Shannon, and I LOVE cake. To be honest, I love cake more than I love virtually everything else in the world, except maybe my dog, Jasper. (<~~You’ll meet him in future blogs. He loves a tiny bite of cake!). So, when I was asked to start writing about my favorite subject in the world, how could I pass that up?

The answer: I couldn’t! 

With that being said, I can’t tell you how excited I am that you’ll be joining me on this adventure every month talking about cake, baking cake, and most importantly, EATING CAKE!
