About yesterday...

Thank you to everyone who wished me well on the Bridal Show. I felt your love and good vibes at every moment♥

I can say SO much about the event. The fabulous coordinators, Magnolia Wedding Collective put on such a ✨unforgettable day✨ for everyone involved - vendors, brides-to-be and guests.
I loved meeting all talented vendors and making new friends🤩

West Oaks Event Center location is like a fairytail, and the staff is a dream. It's not often you find people who you can tell love to do what they do. They are one of those people!

On a personal level, the experience was simply ✨magical✨ for me. My booth was honestly, just beautiful. Everyone that came up to me, vendors included, had to mention what a gorgeous set up I had created. You can imagine the ✨glowup✨ I felt!

The event was a complete success in my books. Once the samples started to circle around, so many guests came up to me to try the "famous cupcakes everyone is talking about".

My Tres Leches was the 🥇hit🥇

I would just wait for the guests to take one bite and see their expression. I wish I had recorded every singe one!

The same for the Red Velvet and Chocolate. The ones that said "Red V is my favorite flavor or Chocolate is my favorite flavor", the look on their face when they bit into my little treat was...ecstasy😍

All the hard work put into each detail. Let me tell you - it ALL pays off. It ALWAYS pays off♥

At the end of the day, what you are left with are some crumbs, and the most heartwarming satisfaction that you were able to create ALL OF THIS, with your own little hands. With help from no one. Just working your little fingers off with pure passion flowing in your blood.

The ♥love♥ that went into building this dream, you can literally see it manifest into life, when someone tastes what I created.

At the end of the day, I have a calendar full and most importantly, a heart full.

This is yet again, confirmation that what I am doing, I am MEANT to be doing.

I can change people's lives. I know that sounds like an exaggeration. But honestly, isn't that what ♥LOVE♥ is?
Something that come into your life and changes it for the better.

THANK YOU SEEING THAT IN ME♥♥♥

Falling in Love Brunch & Bridal Show 2024 is happening today!! ♥️♥️♥️

23/11/2024

I'm calling this "The cakes of Amelia".

I had the incredible pleasure of meeting Amelia and her loving family in early 2023, when they discovered my Tres Leches cakes.

Since then, I have been honored by making their little Puerto Rican princess' birthday cake every Thanksgiving (or close to it).

I am excited to see this "album" grow, as little Amelia grows even more beautiful every year. This little girl captured my heart from the first time I saw her in her car seat. She has the most bewitching eyes that will melt your heart and shy smile that just makes me want to eat her up!!

This year's cake is a sheet cake, "mojadito" Puerto Rican style, (almond cake soaked with Brandy), filled with Dulce De Leche and covered in buttercream.

Happy, happy birthday dulce Amelia. Que Diosito te siga bendiciendo con mucha salud, con much amor de mami y papi y toda tu familia. Eres un chocolate y te quiero muchoooo nena!

A blank canvas. The dream come true of every cake artist♥

Today, I start creating a sample wedding cake for the Falling in Love Brunch and Bridal Show, this Sunday, Nov 24th at West Oaks Event Center, Wi******er.

This is a styrofoam cake, which I will be completely honest, it's NOT my favorite medium to work on. Buttercream on styrofoam not the easiest thing. If I worked with fondant, it would be a piece of (styrofoam) cake!

If you know me and my work, you know I strictly work with buttercreams, and other cream based frostings.

Yes, fondant can turn out absolutely gorgeous, I am not taking that away from it. But this is my personal preference, and how I choose to carry business.

I specialize in ✨flavor first✨.

My main concern is always how it tastes when you first bite into it. It's in the flavor of the cake where I pour my ✨magic✨ into.
I cannot forgo the outside of the cake, I want it just as delicious as the inside. I want my cakes completely edible from beginning to end. THAT is a true experience, in my opinion.

Just like the baker, my cakes aren't just eye candy, they are soul food♥

I want my cakes to bring out emotions in you that you didn't know you had, or have not felt in a long time. That's my ✨magic✨.

SO - buttercream on styrofoam - very sticky for me. I have no qualms about talking about my limitations and things I have not "perfected" yet. Because of that, I will stick to a simple design, with a little pop, of course.

I'll post the final cake on Sunday morning, once I set up.

Wish me luck. I hope I don't end up with more buttercream on me than that cake itself🥹🥹

Not my usual dessert posts, but something that I think is worth mentioning...

Remember yesterday, my oven tech who came back to let me know that his wife wanted to hire me as their wedding cake baker for their daughter's wedding next year?

Well...She called me today. And after a long conversation, one of her final questions was... "WHERE DID YOU GO TO SCHOOL? I have tried many other bakeries and none tasted even close to yours"

Years ago, when I first started following my passion, if someone asked me something like this point blank - I would've freaked out and probably stuttered with a mediocre answer.

My answer, after 15+ years of work force experience was this:
Truth is, I didn't go to any special school for culinary arts. I have spent 15 years learning on my own, by trial and error. I think I've always had a crazy passion inside of me, and this is the way I can express it and share it with the world. When I decided I wanted to take a leap of faith and start my own business, I was already a mother of 3 small children. Schooling at that point, was quite impossible for my situation. But that didn't stop me from learning on my own, creating, failing, stumbling, crying and rising again.

Do I wish I had gone to a school? ABSO-FREAKING-LUTELY.
If I could do it all over again, under different circumstances, I WOULD.

Does that make me less credible than others? ABSO-FREAKING-LUTELY NOT. My product that I created with my own hands, with so much passion, speaks for itself.

I am sharing this with you because I for whoever needs this, YOU DON'T NEED A BIG TITLE DO LIVE YOUR DREAM.

All you need is determination, grit, hard work ethic, LOVE, patience, GOOD INTENTIONS, LOVE, PASSION and some more LOVE.

Today, I am proud to say that I AM FROM THE SCHOOL OF HARD KNOCKS. And I am NOT DONE YET.

WOW🤩
This just happened!!

I had a technician come over and take a look at one of my ovens earlier today.

All the while, I’ve been making samples for the Wi******er Bridal Show this weekend.

He was so nice, I gave him two samples to go ‘cause he looked so hungry🥹

He came back about 2 hours later and knocked on my door, I figured he left one of his tools behind.

NOPE!! He came back to tell me that he took the samples home to share with his wife (good man!), and she said those were two of the ✨best cupcakes she’s ever had✨!!! To please get my info, ‘cause their daughter is getting married next year and they found their baker!!!!
😍😍😍😍😍😍

I looooveeeee how the Universe is always conspiring in our favor 🥰🥰🥰🥰

So blessed 🩷🩷🩷
