I can’t escape the holidays without making a lot of pie!

This delicious apple pie has just a hint of ginger and spice. Perfect for a crisp winter’s night (or morning, with coffee!). Decorated with flaky leaves and a charming rose petal pattern.

Holiday Cookies

I am so used to working almost exclusively with fondant, so these royal icing decorated sugar butter cookies were a really fun departure. Available in custom color combinations for your party.

Also we can personalize them with messages for that special teacher, co-worker or friend in your life.

The flavor is out of this world. It’s a tender, buttery cookie with a kiss of Madagascar vanilla extract. YUM!

Jungle themed 1st birthday cake

jungle themed 1st birthday cake, originally uploaded by tashistation.

A fun first birthday cake with a jungle theme. The cake topper is made of chocolate fondant mixed with gum paste to help it hold up in the humidity. Luckily Saturday wasn’t a particularly hot and humid day, but lately you never know!

The animal and plant silhouettes on the bottom tier were inspired by Alexander Henry’s zoo fabric. A classic!

Yellow cake layers with chocolate frosting, chocolate fondant (bottom tier) and vanilla fondant (top tier).

This would also make a very cute baby shower cake.

The birthday boy LOVES play-doh, hence this giant homage to the fun paste. The cake was 8 inches tall, consisted of 6 layers of cake and 5 layers of vanilla swiss meringue buttercream. the chocolate layers came from elisa strauss’ confetti cakes book. The play-doh lid was made out of gumpaste, the animals are fondant.

Wedding Cake with Red and Black Flowers

red and black wedding cake, originally uploaded by tashistation.

The chocolate cake and the white chocolate buttercream recipes were both from Martha Stewart and are new favorites of mine. The cake is from the baking book (one bowl chocolate cake) and the white chocolate SMBC is from her newish Wedding Cakes books. Both were a dream to work with. And who can complain about a one bowl cake recipe!? :)

Did I mention raspberry puree between each layer? YUM.
