And I still can’t believe how long it’s been since I last posted new photos. I’ve done close to 30 cakes since my last, big update! Make sure to take a look at each of my three categories to see them all (Birthday, Wedding, and Special Occasion).

More Birthday Cakes!

Sorry it’s been so long! Here are some new birthday cake pictures… Wow! I did some of these over a year ago!!!

Four Ingredients

meganmkrtschjan — Fri, 04 Feb 2011 00:02:31 +0000

My family LOVES cooking shows, especially competitions. The creativity the chefs have to take seemingly non-related ingredients and making a cohesive and, hopefully, delicious dish. Sometimes we look at each other and say, “that will never taste good.” Occasionally a chef will get a nod with a “never thought of that.” My mom had the great idea to challenge my dessert abilities with giving me 4 ingredients that I had to incorporate into a dessert recipe.

Bananas, chocolate syrup, pecans, cream cheese (obviously they weren’t going to go too ambitious on the first try)

My vision turned into some sort of chocolate banana “sundae”. A few extra ingredients I added from the pantry were a chocolate cake mix, powdered sugar and butter.

2 smashed bananas got folded into the chocolate cake batter and baked in a 9×13 pan according to the package directions.

I made a quick cream cheese/buttercream icing:

1/2 c. butter, soft

1/2 c. vegetable shortening

1 tsp. vanilla

4 oz. cream cheese, soft

4 c. powdered sugar

2-3 T. milk for consistency

I topped the cake with the cream cheese icing, sprinkled pecans on top and drizzled with the chocolate syrup.

Try toasting the pecans first………I’ll do that next time.

Everyone enjoyed a slice and were the typical critics like I was really a contestant on the Chopping Block.

Sweet Treat

I’m obsessed with blogs. I would read blogs all day long if I could. I’ve never written a blog before, but my favorite blogger got me thinking. I’m going to start documenting my life of food. More specifically, my life of sweet food. Sugary, gooey goodness. It all started with finding a gem of a blog: bakerella.com; go ahead, take a look at it right now. Then, I decided to buy her book and voila! my blog begins…….

These photos were taken with my iPhone….not bad. I think it needs a bit more light.

Just a Few Dessert Photos

Free Consultations and Tastings

meganmkrtschjan — Mon, 22 Nov 2010 04:19:12 +0000

I am happy to provide free consultations and tastings for all weddings and any event expecting more than 75 people.

I love people. And the best way to get to know people is to meet with them. And when it comes to cakes and desserts, it’s important to have full confidence in what you put on someone else’s plate. That confidence, I think, comes from knowing the person who made it. So if this is your first cake order with me, let’s get together!

Many people come to me without any ideas about what they are looking for – what flavors, colors, themes, or decorations – and that’s okay. Don’t be intimidated by all of the options. All of these things can be worked out over a warm cup of tea.

Call or email me, Megan, today to schedule your free consult or tasting:

I look forward to meeting with you soon!

Sincerely,
