I am accepting select and limited orders beginning now. My website and ordering process have been reconstructed to promote efficiency and clarity. I will return all inquiries with availability and the biggest thank you in the world.
I am sincerely happy and thankful
🤍
i am so pleased to announce that i have accepted the executive pastry chef position at davio’s in reston, and that this is the last month that i will be accepting orders for now
for a long time i thought being an entrepreneur was the final frontier for me, and that if i ever chose to step back i would be choosing to step away from the entire industry and everything i’ve been taught (and all i’ve ever known, after all this has been my dream since i was 13). how SILLY! i only feel bad for myself that a week ago i thought taking a break from my business would equal a nonexistent identity. i have lived so many seasons because of this business, and there is much to be excited about in the unknown
i’m so excited to sleep at night, to cook dinner for myself, to spend time with my puppy, my friends and family, to be the friend and the person that i want to be, to offer friendship and time and enjoy my days instead of getting through them. i am so excited to make friends, to offer support, to have ideas, and to enjoy the adrenaline and passion of this life and this industry again. and to be in traffic in the morning! i cant wait!!!
to my wonderful supporters, thank you for following along. it has been invaluable to me to be personal and honest and i have been met with kindness at every turn. i’m truly thankful for whatever i did to deserve that. it has been my honor and privilege to be part of your special days. these have been the most transformative years of my life, thank you for everything
(regarding standing orders - if i have had as little as communication with you, you’re all set and will hear from me soon! if you’re not sure, please feel free to reach out and ill get back to you soon as well)
(sorry if you’ve seen these pics several hundred times)
i hibernated this summer. happy august!
to sum up my last post, thank you for every drop of patience and kindness lately
if i haven’t responded to you in days, weeks or even months, i’m so sorry. i promise i have no intention but to rest
ps this is one of my proudest sets, a combination of all my favorite colors and textures
plenty of times i’ve opened my notes or this caption box and i began to describe a recent week that has been particularly challenging or particularly memorable, repetitive as it may be and as typically as social media goes i’ve only expressed truly positive or “even though i’ve gotten 2 hours of sleep im doing great!” posts every weekend
this is really the hardest thing i’ve ever done, working for myself. i’m lucky to say that but i must acknowledge that i feel like i’m drowning absolutely all the time. i’ve always wanted to maintain a present conversation here and keep in touch personally, since this industry and my business is really so personal
i’ve lost insane amounts of sleep and i feel it’s effects every day. i’ve lost valuable time with my family or my friends, let others down to fulfill commitments, put my health and wellness and eating meals as my last priority, if its even a thought. i’ve been saved time and again by my friends and family who step in to help me when i’m desperate
it is so easyyyyy for me to blame everything on me - because everything is on me! every letter of every email (late or the rarity that it’s on time, or even frequent), every speck of flour, fold in the box, has been 100% done by me. i am proud of myself and then i black out if something even slightly goes wrong. it’s hard not to when i don’t remember what i did yesterday
like i said, plenty of times i’ve begun to type this. i do not want any interpretation of a complaint to come from this, just an explanation. i generally want to keep my thoughts to myself - one of the only things these days that i can keep for myself. even though i’ve taken many steps to prevent the bad things from happening again, as we all do, i know it could and i will learn from that too. it’s never just cake, it’s all of this
i’ve never struggled like i have right now but there’s something on pinterest that says that’s a good thing LOL
i framed this in october, it is the past and it is the future. i look back at time and i will look back at this time too
thank you for listening to me and for supporting the life i’ve always dreamed, even when it’s so damn hard. thank you thank you thank you
loved these alice in onederland cookies for my sweet, talented and supportive friends’ beautiful daughters first birthday!!!! 🖤
i love to know y’all and it is an honor to be part of serena’s life celebrations through cookies 🖤
priscila’s vision is my guideline 🤍 it’s so fun and easy to design this way, and seeing the way she puts it all together is one of my favorite parts of the weekend 🤍
i’m so excited about the emails (regarding an assistant and inquiries) i’ve received!!! as soon as i have a break in production i will devote my undivided attention to my response - ironically why i need help. falling asleep as i type this 🥲 thank you all SO so much!!!!! 🤍
getting through mountains of messages now 🤍🥲 thank you for your patience i promise i’m not putting off responding, just trying to sleep

hi everyone 🤍
my google forms app (where i collect 90% of inquiries) some times doesn’t notify me when i receive new submissions. last night, i opened each form to check in and the numbers that shot up - tears in my eyes typing this - i’m so, so lucky. thank you thank you thank you
i am working through them now and really appreciate your patience. one day, i won’t be a one lady show and we’ll all be a lil happier with response times 🤭 until then - happier than ever xo
thank you 🤍

congratulations to one of my sweet friends 🤍💭🕊️🐦 how i adore you
this giraffe’s photoshoot reminds me of the first few cakes i posted that i was PROUD of (covid times. there were blueberries on it. if you remember those posts thank you). this cake i’ve made for the _illionth time (which i super love) brought that feeling back, taking weird angles of a cake with appropriately placed gold balls is what i look forward to on fridays. i’m telling you you can put them pretty much anywhere and i think it’ll look good. makes you feel good
captions like these are always, i mean always initiated by four hours of sleep the night prior. not to be dramatic but really lots of coffee up in my head. doing my best and so tired and so thankful
ps almost booked for the month of april and may is getting close too!!!! i think i’m caught up on messages until 2 hours later i’m back in the hole. getting to them probably midnight tonight or so. i will also do a mother’s day bouquet presale again this year!
thanks for reading :)🫶🏽 xo
fridays feel better when you send off a new favorite set 🤎
april has a few openings left and may is almost full!!!! i’m still feeling so thankful to be back!!

i talked to all the interior designers and they said to definitely definitely put cake on your coffee table photographers agree
