Have you ever seen how someone else is running their cake business, then convinced yourself the way you were doing it was not good enough?

Yeah. Me too.

Not so long ago, I saw another cake decorator (that I’ve admired and followed for a long time)  post a beautiful picture of a table she had set up to do a wedding cake tasting.

And my heart sank. It was soooo beautiful. So classy and elegant.  So fancy and … gosh, everything my tastings are not.

What I don’t have…

I don’t have a boutique cake shop with a beautiful seating area.

Can you feel it?  Fall is in the air!  Before baking these cupcakes, I hadn’t really gotten into the mood yet.  But I have to admit, these cupcakes have jumpstarted my mood and I’m all-in ready for Fall now.

I’m calling these dessert, but I could seriously eat one for breakfast and be set for the day!  Shhhh – just don’t tell my kids!  They’re just a perfect mix of moist spicy cupcakes with super creamy buttercream frosting!   Continue Reading ▶

50th Wedding Anniversary Cake
