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!
Enter for a chance to win this dome and two pretty pink pedestals.

I made a gooey butter cake last week because my son was begging for one. My daughters helped me make it, so we had family time with a super sweet result!

I went to a country western dance last weekend where we all brought a covered dish to share. I made Italian Cream Cake Balls from scratch. They were delicious and pretty! I used yellow, pink and lavender pastels to dip them in for Easter colors.

my kids’ joint birthday party this weekend. it was a mish mash sort of event. I originally got decorations for Tangled/Rapunzel for my daughter, and Buzz Lightyear/Toy Story 3 for my son.. but last minute they decided on completely different cakes (luckily I make them), and they wound up with various colored paper products, the previously mentioned themed tables/balloons, and a lalaloopy cake and a mario kart/donkey kong cake :P
The last time I celebrated with cake was just to spend some girl time with my step daughter. We made orange cake pops and they were so much fun!!!!

I tried the cake pops for my boyfriends birthday but they didn’t looked that good as yours. here in germany is the frosting and the glaze not that good as in america.
