Perfect Blueberry Pie

I will admit that fruit pies have kind of frightened me. I can never seem to get the filling right. It always came out extremely soupy, which is the absolute worst when you're trying to slice it for a family event. But this weekend my dad asked me to try a recipe that just came out in the Southern Living magazine. I decided to give it a go and what would you know, it turned out perfectly. The recipe called for 2 Tbsp of balsamic vinegar, which didn't add a strong flavor, but may have helped balance out the honey.  I really like how the pie reminded me of a pop tart, it made me very nostalgic for summers as a child.

Pink Ombre Cake

I was recently asked to make a cake for a wedding shower that was happening at work. I was told that the bride's favorite color was pink and since I had nothing but ruffles on my mind from two previous cakes I had made, I decided to keep going with that theme but in a slightly different direction.

Pretty in Pink, Take 2

Last year I did a pink ruffle cake for a little girl who was turning 4. Her mom came by last week and asked that I make another cake for her birthday this year. She said that her favorite color was still pink and she wanted something fancy. I decided to try a different ruffle this year, and added some white pearl sprinkles to give it some sparkle. As you can see, I think she enjoyed it, and by that picture I can only assume that her wish came true! I really love when my customers allow me to do almost whatever I want on a cake, because that give me the opportunity to try new thinks as well as make them happy. I'm hoping I get to make her cake next year too.
