  • Currently in the middle of one of those vacations where I can’t remember what day it is because I feel so relaxed 🙌🏽 as someone who lives by their daily to-do list, this is a really freeing time for me! I’m excited to work on some new cake ideas when I get back next week but for now, I’m spending lots of quality time with family and enjoying the beauty of Central Oregon (those succulent cupcakes are the buttercream version of what it looks like out here 🌵) ✨hope you’re all finding some room in your to-do lists to breathe, whether for a few minutes or a few days 😘
  • Side view of this Mean Girls cake because the messy ombré was just too fetch 😍 more themed parties, please 🙌🏽 if you’re in need of some Mean Girls party inspiration (diy decor and all!) click the link in my bio to steal some ideas 💗👯‍♀️
  • A lemon meringue cake inspired by my recent trip to @tartinebakery 🍋 the layers peeking through that toasted meringue are vanilla cake soaked with lemon syrup, salted caramel, and lemon curd. This was my first trial run of the recipe and I’m still tweaking it to perfection before I share it, but I love how the toasted meringue piping and layers turned out! Made possible with my @wiltoncakes tips 1M, 4B, and 1A ✨🍋🎂
  • Channeling @drakeoncake to create this totally fetch cake for a Mean Girls themed birthday party 👯‍♀️💗✨ made extra pink with a few different shades of @americolor Fuschia and Maroon. I used all my fave piping tips to create the border (@wiltoncakes tips 1M, 4B, and 104) and accented with @sprinklepop.shop’s Mixed Berry sprinkle mix. More pics of the party decor in my Story because it was just too good 🙌🏽🎉 happiest of birthdays to my sweet friend and fellow cake queen @sarahhanns 👸🏻💗
  • Underneath all those pretty Halloween sprinkles are delicious pumpkin cupcakes and cream cheese buttercream that’s just the right amount of sweet and not too soft for piping tips! The full recipe for these pumpkin cupcakes with cream cheese buttercream is on the blog TODAY 🙌🏽 it’s a Fall classic and will make your kitchen smell like autumnal bliss 🍁plus you can easily dress them up for Halloween with the All Hallows sprinkle mix by @sprinklepop.shop (or any of their other spooky sprinkles!). Click the link in my profile to get alll the deets 👻🍁🖤🎃
  • A pitch black buttercream cake with gold splatter paint and hand painted chocolate shapes 🖤✨I think it turned out pretty punk rock 🤘🏽black buttercream was my nemesis for years (I hated how much food coloring I had to use, the consistency got weird, it turned everyone’s mouths black, etc) until I learned a few key tips. They’re all on my blog now! Go to sugarandsparrow.com and search “black buttercream” if you’re in need 🙌🏽
