It is a beautiful sunny day and i just finished my pick of goodies to be offered as "Holiday specials"
We are very happy to have lots of apples from Ela Family farm to be able to prepare our all organic apple-streusel pie, apple-frangipane tart (My favorite dessert ever! Yummy) and other apple goodies. There is a great list of holiday inspired quick breads, cheesecakes, cookies and chocolates. Visit our website to read the complete list of offerings.
Now that i have been learning about this blogging business, slowly but surely, i found a blog that featured us a few months back. Thank you Leigh from The bridal Collection

PostHeaderIcon End of wedding season


It has been long since I last visited my own blog. Summer came like a hurricane, even thought i tried to keep up with baking, decorating, delivery and the blog, i new something had got to give.
October is a great time to fall back into the habit of writing, specially on a snowy day like today, 8-10" already on the ground and more to come, Got to love it!
A lot of the pictures from the rest of the summer are already on our website. We had a great summer, lots of cakes, cookies and other goodies, and the introduction of new all organic ingredients. We are now using all organic jams from Ela Family farm in Hotchkiss Colorado, finally found organic fair trade sugar, organic flour, and organic dairy, and are possibly finish with the hunt for organic spices!
We traveled a lot this summer to mountain vicinities to deliver wedding cakes, cupcakes, cookies, pies, and more. Although we love the mountains, it was hard some days, specially when having 13 individual cakes on tree stumps going up Berthoud Pass - frightening.

Anyway, this time we'll make sure to keep our blog up to date. New and exciting events are coming our way and we want you to be part of them. A calendar with updates on classes, events, and open tastings will be up shortly.

PostHeaderIcon Colorado mountain wedding cakes


These were a great treat for the guests, the bride decided to make individual cakes for each table and have their guest cut and enjoy them at their leisure. Vanilla cake with vanilla bean cream and toasted almond french buttercream made these cakes a leafy indulgence. Thanks to Kara from Pick me! for helping us with the logistics.

I love when i get the chance to make something different for a wedding cake. This was definitely different, the biggest challenge was to transport it from Denver to Devil's Thumb Ranch in Grand County. Anyway, it was fun!

PostHeaderIcon Colorado!

This cake represents the beautiful meadows of Colorado, filled with wild flowers and green grass. A very lemony - refreshing cake.

PostHeaderIcon Serenity

This cake makes me think of a very quiet night in the woods. Jodi and john picked this cake for its simple and clean look. The reception was at the Evergreen Lake house. Very serene!

PostHeaderIcon Fish and flowers!



Fish and flowers indeed. Breckie and Matt asked for their favorite hobbies, flavors and colors to be a part of their wedding. A big rainbow trout was Matt's cake (chocolate with coconut buttercream). For Breckie, lots of branches and sunflowers. The cake flavors were chocolate with truffle and cookies and cream filling, and a vanilla cake with lemon curd and Raspberry-peach jam from Ela family farms. They were a very Eco-friendly couple and for that a love them!

PostHeaderIcon Nature was our inspiration



Together with Kara and Rami from Pick me!, we put a beautiful, nature inspired setting for Peggy and Nicholas wedding at Devil's Thumb Ranch. The cake was lemon-raspberry with vanilla buttercream. The branches from the table settings (picture up) tied perfectly with the light branches and flowers dressing up the cake. A very beautiful set up. Great job pick me ladies!

PostHeaderIcon Tea party

On June 6, we had a great Tea party for Francesca's Bridal shower (one on my Favorite brides of the season). Some of the offerings were: Almond-apricot tea cakes, raspberry spritz cookies, tea sandwiches, lemon curd, jams, blueberry scones and fresh fruit. It was very pretty and the bride to be was very happy! Congrats Francesca and Thanks to Al (her best friend) for helping to put it together
