pw wednesday – project wedding has been slacking

I know I haven’t posted any “Project Wedding Wednesday” posts but PW’s been slacking a little with the real weddings. I check their homepage every morning, hoping for a new and inspirational real wedding, but I have yet to be satisfied. They like to put up photo galleries, so here are some of my favorite […]

useful tip tuesday: tutorials and youtube

I get so many questions about how I learned to do all of the baking and decorating that I do and people are surprised that I haven’t had any professional training – except for my Wilton Decorating Class #1 of course. First of all, you have to have an genuine interest in learning how to […]

new website coming soon

  The Kara’s Cakery website should be updated very VERY soon. It’s taking a little longer than I hoped, but there will be lots of new info and much better pictures!

bacon on your cupcakes?

PW wednesday: real wedding – hilary and jeff

I really like Project Wedding… mostly because they allow me to advertise for free and because they don’t make me sign in to look at their articles. Aside from the DIY pages, I like the real weddings. In Hilary and Jeff’s  real wedding, they decided to go with cupcakes to match the blue theme. The […]

mini desserts and dog treats *updated*

What is there to do when two feet of snow is accumulating outside? Bake, of course. This weekend I made several mini desserts as well as some dog cookies for an order, gifts, and samples. I will post pictures once the bf sends them to me! Here are some pictures from the snow…   … at […]
