Frog Prince

Isn't it cute? I have a special fondness for frog princes. Frogs in general. We had claw frogs as pets which are great, because they are underwater frogs and come up for air every few minutes. Our much loved claw frog was named FROGZILLA. She was adorable and huge!

When I would get sick, my husband would tell me a story about a frog prince (not the original frog prince story, but his own made up story). It always made me feel better.

When thinking of a name for my business, I immediately thought about the frog and how I loved Grimm's Fairytales tales, hence...ONCE UPON A CAKE and my frog prince logo.

Cake IS The Happy Ending!

Trends in Wedding Cakes

I love keeping up with trends in wedding cakes but I find most brides still want traditional cakes.

A lot of brides that meet with us want square cakes, with traditional designs such as dots or scrolls or plain sides with ribbon and flowers.

The cake above seems to be popular: square cakes, 1/4 turned with cascading flowers. Traditional with a slight twist (pun intended)!

This weekend we are doing our second topsy turvy cake. The first one we did was a "traditional" design with scrolls and ribbon and flowers. The one for this weekend is way untraditional!

Orange, green, blue and purple with peacock feathers and bright colored feathers!

Stay tuned for the result!

Time flies!

This is my daughter's high school graduation cake. She designed and sketched it herself. Can you imagine what she'll come up with for her wedding cake one day? YIKES!

The New Year has come in with a BANG! We scheduled a weekend getaway and BAM that's when Atlanta got hit with the storm. We caught the only flight back on Monday, then it took us three and half hours to get home! Perilous roads!

A few days later we find out my teen has a belly button hernia. What?! Yep! But, I bake and the smell of the almond cake filling the kitchen makes everything better!

I have lots of ideas for new cake flavor combos brewing in my mind, but I still hate to cook.
