Take a look at these beautiful cake stands. That is if you can see past the skyline of sweets. I absolutely love this photo. Love it. I wish I could enlarge it and wallpaper my kitchen with it. This photo and the rest in this post (taken by Ashley Rose Photography) are photos of cakes from my friend Melody’s shop, My Sweet & Saucy. We’ve been internet buds from way back when I had a blogspot.com address. And since then, she’s gone from blogger herself, to superstar baker, making the most gorgeous cakes and working with the likes of Tori Spelling, Miley Cyrus and more. I just wish she wasn’t all the way in California. Actually, it’s a good thing I’m not in driving distance. For my waistline anyway.
Oh dear. I need a pink ruffle cake in my life.
Pronto.
Look at all these cakes. I mean pedestals. Big ones. Little ones. Tall ones. Short ones.
Melody also has an online store where you can find them all in one place.
Yes, pedestals. Like this pretty little pink one. Perfect for a petite little cake.
Or stack two and you can fill it with sweet little treats.
Wait, you mean you don’t have a large and small pink glass pedestal or a sweet glass dome?
That’s terrible. Unthinkable.
Would you like one? I mean all three pieces in the photo above?
I thought you might.
Melody is giving them away to one of my readers. Yippee! Thanks Melody!

I planned on making Baked Alaska for my co-workers’ birthday today, but couldn’t get the meringue to work, so they got “Half-Baked I’ll Aska,” which really fits in well with the office.

The last cake I had was just Sunday at my sisters baby shower!! It was a Minnie Mouse cake, that I had to actually try to help my mom fix last minute because she tossed something across the room and it landed on the cake. Oh my that was not fun. Haha. Thankfully it was the night before at least, we were both so tired though that we were so scared what it might look like the next day.
I am so happy to see that you are posting still!! Your posts brighten peoples lives and make them soo happy!!! Me being one of those people!! Thank you for being you!!
