I finally got around to making cake pops (about 2 years after they became an internet fad, but hey, better late than never).

they were really fun to make. I mashed up homemade yellow cake with vanilla swiss meringue buttercream, then dipped them in white chocolate that was tinted pink. Some were dipped in sugar crystals for some extra bling. Very fun to eat too!

New business cards arrived!

During my maternity leave I am working on rebranding and launching Buttercraft.com. Of course, that is easier said than done with a newborn and a toddler

Today my new business cards arrived (love the logo, designed by http://ink.leighwells.com/, who I found in Martha Stewart Weddings this year). My website is under construction but hopefully will go live early this summer. I’m looking forward to being a vendor at the fall Austin Bridal Expo in September with all new Buttercraft signage and brochures!

Cake Girls Bakery Fire

I’m not sure how I missed this! The amazing Cake Girls in Chicago suffered a terrible blow when their bakery burned to the ground in late April.

Our thoughts are with them. They are so talented and motivated, so we know they will bounce back from this in a big way.

pumpkin spice cake with brown sugar buttercream, originally uploaded by tashistation.

This ultra-moist and flavorful pumpkin spice layer cake is encased in silky smooth brown sugar buttercream. The buttercream has an intriguing flavor similar to caramel but not as dominant. Pairs perfectly with the allspice, cinnamon and ginger in the cake layers.
