Made my own birthday cake this year 🥳🥰 mainl Made my own birthday cake this year 🥳🥰 mainly because I had extra cake and buttercream laying around and I thought WHY NOT 😆 this little mini is my favorite one-bowl chocolate cake recipe + chocolate buttercream + @fancysprinkles in the “Hello Goodbye” mix 💗search “chocolate cake” at sugarandsparrow.com to get the recipe ✨ and PS I don’t normally shoot on a dark background like this one, but I just had the idea to start making my own photo backgrounds and I’ve been having so much fun with them (tutorial for you coming soon!!) 🙌🏽
Just posted a tutorial for this layered ombré cak Just posted a tutorial for this layered ombré cake on my blog and YouTube💗 the layered look is such a fun alternative to the super smooth gradient ombré and could not be easier to create! This one uses just two colors in different intensities (@americolor Fuchsia + Teal), and I’m already imagining so many other color possibilities with this design 😍 click the link in my bio to see the full tutorial + watch the video! 🥳
Reunited with my sweet nieces after nearly a year Reunited with my sweet nieces after nearly a year of not seeing them in person due to the pandemic 😭 made this mini “we missed you” cake to tell them how we felt about it. They hold such a huge space in my heart and I’m feeling lucky that we get a chance to make up for all the lost time together now 💗 will not be taking it for granted!
Made these brownies look extra cute by piping on m Made these brownies look extra cute by piping on my favorite chocolate buttercream recipe with @wiltoncakes tip 6B + sprinkling generously with the @sprinklepop.shop “Unicorn Rainbow” sprinkle mix 🦄✨ I like my brownies to be fudgy/chewy/cakey and I’m still on the hunt for the perfect from-scratch brownie recipe that meets those requirements 👩🏽‍🍳🍫 if you have a favorite recipe, let me know in the comments!
Thank you all so much for celebrating my three yea Thank you all so much for celebrating my three year blog anniversary with me and cheering me on the whole way💗🥰 it means a lot. This past year was so full of changes (expected + unexpected) and it’s truly been encouraging to hear how my recipes and tutorials have helped you gain confidence in the kitchen and inspired you to make pretty cakes through it all🎂✨speaking of tutorials, I’m working on one for this sunset-inspired watercolor cake to share in the coming weeks! Stay tuned 💗
Adding freeze dried berries to your buttercream is Adding freeze dried berries to your buttercream is the best way to get powerful flavor + perfect frosting consistency + the prettiest natural colors ♥️🙌🏽 it’s a win win win. You’ll find a few different freeze dried buttercream recipes on my blog at sugarandsparrow.com (search “freeze dried” to find them all) ✨ pictured here is my Raspberry Chocolate Cake recipe topped with my fave freeze dried raspberry buttercream 🥰
