"Yi Yi and Pete are the best of the best." TC Chang.
I have been blessed to be best friends with YiYi for what seems like my entire life. She has always been an inspiration to me. She is intolerably clever and wickedly smart. Cool, and easy to talk to. Effortlessly beautiful, and my spiritual guide. (It is little known that YiYi has given me my "signs from god," pendants that offered protection from evil. Thank you YiYi)

As a couple, YiYi and Pete are untouchable. They are equally matched in their curiosity, adventuresome spirit and ambition. I have relied on them over the years for a lot of laughs, a shoulder to cry on, and a television to watch all the great reality programs I would have otherwise missed.

It was an honor that I was able to make their cake. I held my breath for days. Sleepless nights and a lot of gum paste later I made their Apple Blossom Cake, inspired by the orchard they were married in, and the very special "chinese" cutting cake. It meant so much to be to be a part of their special day. I show how much I love you guys through sugar. Its the only way I know how.

The beautiful pictures were taken by Arthur Chang.

Yes, it is a baseball with the A's logo on it. Thanks for asking. And yes, it is the best.
I have a long standing distrust of the Cupcake Cake. They are vile, lumpy, distasteful creations, fancied by Supermarket Shelves nation wide. I have seen many of these bleak and pitiful creations made to celebrate most holidays...
None as glorious as my baseball CCC to celebrate my birthday. I love my CCC. It is not everyday I get a birthday cake made for me. It was a great honor to have my beautiful housemates craft this clever arrangement of cupcakes. In good taste, the ladies made them not only organic, but a little on the baked side. Thank you Mia and Shetal. It is a gift I will never forget.

I am well known for my scathing evil eye. Over the years I have perfected my icy, piercing stare. That is why I was so excited to do this bazar and creepy treat. It's not every day someone asks me for a blood shot dilated pupil in cake. And I love it. The best reaction came from my coworker who screamed out loud when she opened the cake box.

The real story behind the eye was told to me by the middle aged men that bought it. These jokers ordered the scary eyeball for a childhood friend to commemorate their shared years spent tormenting the neighborhood man with the gimpy eye. Cruel childhood prank makes good cake.

Cars are without exception my least favorite things. The irony in making this fancy tire with high priced rim is that I recently had my wheels stolen off my very inexpensive car. Aged tires, wheels, stock rims, things that hold wheels on...

and nothing says delicious like tire tread. seriously tasty.

The Raider Nation finally has cause to celebrate. It's just one win, but we'll take it. Raaiiders.

Hot dogs are a perfect food. Portable. Good ratio of bun to meat. Meat, meaning miscellaneous pork product. Beef if you're kosher, or fancy. Comes with a million condiments to dress it up with... It's best with kraut and mustard. Never ketchup. Ketchup has no place on a hot dog. Period.

Lil' Finn celebrated his first birthday!
I made a nautical themed cake, appropriate for one named Finn. It was a great success, out-shined only by the jumpy castle ( and well deserved, cause jumpy castles are amazing fun). He is a kid after my own heart, the only thing he seemed interested in was eating. Seriously. I'm with you, Finn.

Nothin says Halloween like a gigantic fondant Jack-o-lantern. It's delicious and weighs a ton. The Headless Horeman might need one of these.

Eat lots of candy! I would recommend the Take 5 bar. It has everything you want in one delicious treat...salty pretzels, chocolate, caramel, peanut butter..soo good.

Happy Halloween!
