FRESH FRUIT TART

Loaded up on seasonal fruit and wanted to make a light alternative to cake. The pastry cream in this tart was made with skim milk, which made it light and airy. The handmade crust was perfect!


COCONUT-POMEGRANATE POUND CAKE

My family has a secret recipe for coconut pound cake. My friends know this cake very well and it's commonly requested for birthdays and the like. My friend Rachel asked for a different twist on her usual order.


CHAI CAKE

Chai tea is my favorite - I won't drink anything else. I made a chai-soaked spice cake one day to experiment. It was delicious!


CHRISTMAS

The centerpiece for my Christmas party


OPERA CAKE

Birthday cake for a friend of mine who sings opera. Almond sponge cake soaked with a coffee syrup, layered with espresso buttercream and chocolate ganache.


WINTER SPICE CAKE

Got locked in my house for 2 days.... this was the result. Spice cake layered with fig preserves and a honey-nutmeg cream cheese frosting


ALICE IN WONDERLAND

Alice in Wonderland themed party
