Slow down and Taste the Sweet Life

I am such a Huge fan of artist Cedric Smith.
His work speaks to me in a way that is hard
to explain. His mixed media paintings are
simply amazing.

So when he came to deliver this wonderful piece
today, I just couldn't stop looking at it. I was
beside myself with a realization of an artist
connecting with me and my vision of our bakery.

Cedric is a gentle confident artist with a wonderful
talent and vision. His work is engaging, historic
and cutting edge with a flair of Americana.

What can I say, I am deeply honored and touched
by his generous gift of depicting Back in the Day
Bakery in this one of a kind painting.

Thank you Cedric for being a great person and
a super talent that is now a part of my life.

Check out his other work here including
a wonderful photograph of one of my
baby cakes.

Our Brandi's In

Brandi and Andrew's wedding was everything
I imagined it would be. The cd & invite to the
big day let us all know what to expect.
Brandi is a very special person to Griff and I.
Ups and downs...Brandi has been there with us.
All we wanted was to be there for her.
It seems we watched them fall in love in front of
our eyes. Since so many of our customers asked about
the special day, I will not appologize for
my loaded camera.

Dancing Shoes

Such a Happy Day for our Saturday Girl

They are such a lovely couple!

So many wonderful details from all of the collected
vintage plates and a homepun wedding cake with
all the ingredients from grandmas cupboard.





to the infamous fortune cookie
that sealed their fate.

We've all decided that Brandi should consider
a career in catering. It was a delicious evening.

It was such a beautiful affair.
Congratulations to the Happy Couple!
What a wonderful beginning.
