Good friends are hard to find these days but I’m so lucky to have crossed paths with one certain friend nearby 15 years ago. Her heart is so big. Her ability to see in others what they don’t see in themselves is admirable. She give of her time, talents & treasures to many local organizations but still has time to just be a damn good friend.

I’m grateful for her & her unwavering support of myself not only personally but professionally. To know her is to love her.

Robin Balke-I love you & thank God for you everyday.

Thanks for letting me help you out with this very thoughtful gift 😘

I had the absolute privilege to do my first ever onsite catering event today, thanks to Ken & Kim Weymuth! I am so grateful for the opportunity to do what I love for people that I love. And to boot-the Governor was a guest at this event, so no pressure at all. 🫣

It was a lot of work both mentally & physically. Many hours spent going over every detail in my mind-over & over again! Plus lots of love & labor put in to every detail. I’m so grateful for the help of my SIL Carrie Capers for coming over last night & today to assist, I couldn’t have done it without her.

Reach out if you have an event you need assistance with, I’d love to see if I’d be able to lighten your load.

✌️Peace, love & food my friends!

Everyone always says, “is there anything you can’t do?” And it always makes me chuckle because there’s eleventy billion things I cannot do (just ask Andy Guffin). And tonight (or the last 3 days I’ve worked on this project) cake was on the list!

I use the same brand mix every time…zero problems. Same brand but this mix called for butter (lesson learned btw). When I pulled back my parchment paper, it peeled off a lot of my design & most importantly the letters/words that mean so much…HE CAN & !

So enjoy the 7 stages of cake grief with me tonight!

I ran out of room (& frosting)to keep messing it up so here she is…at least I know it’ll still taste good 🫣

Vanilla bean butter cake with strawberry cheesecake frosting & strawberry puree filling. Bid high, not because it looks great but because it’s going to support a fantastic human named Kirstie Palecek Schultz!
