Favorites of the Month!

December is a month of celebrations and there have been tons of them for Cakes by Amber Love! I have been super busy all month with orders and projects - I've worked with a few new clients and some very faithful ones from the past! I also had my 5th Annual Cookie Exchange with a group of girls that I absolutely adore. This year we did a little switch up and included things other than just cookies so I made super cute Christmas shaped rice krispies!

Here's a highlight of some of my favorite cakes and treats that I have had the pleasure of creating lately:

This month also included an adorable pancake pop breakfast bar complete with every topping one could want on their morning pancakes!

Aren't they to die for?!

As the month is wrapping up I love looking back on all the fun things I've created and celebrations I've got to be a part of.  I think that's my favorite part of what I do - there are definitely those stressful scary moments that come up - but the finished product is always always worth it!  That first moment a client lays eyes on their order is the greatest feeling a baker can have!  They share their ideas and visions with you and you have the power to make that vision come to life!  It's truly an amazing feeling and I love love love it!  I can't wait to see what fun projects January has in store for me!

As always, I'll be sure to keep you guys updated!  Thanks for stopping by! :) 

Ahhhh!!!!

What a crazy week it's been! I've got so many projects going on, and I almost don't know where to start! I've been busy Christmas shopping, baking, and just trying to get everything ready for the new year. Luckily so far it is all going pretty smoothly! I made a ton of fondant tonight so that should hold me over through my next few cake adventures. Other than some basic Christmas orders, I also have a Mickey Mouse 1st birthday cake in cute pastel baby boy colors and an anniversary for a public relations company. I don't think I have a night off of baking until after Christmas - but I wouldn't have it any other way! I love planning my orders and researching new techniques and test them out. Of course my absolute favorite part is the excitement on a client's face when they see their ideas come to life! Well, I just wanted to check in - I'm headed back into the kitchen to get a few more things done! xoxo :)

The holidays are officially here!

I can't believe December is only a week away! The holidays are officially here and the year is almost over! Craziness! Thanksgiving is by far my favorite holiday and I refuse to acknowledge Christmas until Thanksgiving is over, but Christmas is EVERYWHERE already - and has been since before even Halloween! I can't handle it! But I will admit it's been tough not busting out the Christmas decorations this year before Thanksgiving because I LOVE having the house decorated and there are SO many cute things out there!

Today I got to start my first batch of holiday baking. I bake all year long, but the holidays always have me on baking overdrive and I get to bake my most favorite things. Here's my first batch of Thanksgiving cakepops -

Aren't they adorable?! Next week the fudge and toffee making starts and I can't wait! They are my specialties and I only make them between Thanksgiving and New Year's and they are always in high demand! I'll be sure to keep everyone updated!

Stay tuned! :)
