Mother's Day Cake
/For Mother’s Day this year, I designed a beautiful flower cake. Roses and hydrangeas in shades of pink and ivory with contrasting greenery. I piped each flower petal by petal with Swiss Meringue Buttercream.
Birthday Cake
/the cable knit cake design is one of the most popular of the Celebration Cake designs. I make it in custom colors, depending on the customer’s request. This time it was for a girl’s birthday celebration and she wanted a soft purple background with ivory details.
Wedding Cake
/Vanilla cake layered with "dulce de leche" for a small private wedding at A Wedding Loft last Saturday. The bride asked for flowers in cornflower blue and lavender with an ivory background.
cake jars
/I'm so grateful to continue making sweet treats for you all.
I'm also working on new items to be added to the Rose Vanilla menu.
These cake jars are some of the new sweets that will be available in different flavors. Delicious cake layered with your favorite frostings.
Easter Alfajores
/Our classic alfajores filled Easter baskets this year. Packed in cute boxes of four pieces each, with a bunny tag and matching ribbon.
Easter and Carrot Cake
/Easter this year was filled with so much gratitude.
I am beyond touched by how many of you ordered Rose Vanilla cakes and sweets for your Easter celebrations.
I celebrate you and all those who are doing their part in not only healthcare but unwavering support for small businesses such as Rose Vanilla.
For the occasion, I made a naked carrot and pecan cake with vanilla bean cream cheese frosting and filling, topped with a rosemary wreath and a watercolor & linen bunting.
Buttercream Flowers
/Sometimes you’re afraid of how a design will come out if you step out of your comfort zone. That is exactly what happens to me when I work with a darker color palette.
For this cake, I made small flowers in shades of red and burgundy and added some purple buds and small details. The larger flowers are all in white with bright colored centers.
Each flower was piped individually, petal by petal and then arranged in the 6” cake with a pink frosting.
Hydrangeas
/One of my favorite flowers are hydrangeas. They bloom in colors from white to purple and burgundy, making them one of the best little flower to add to a cake design. Even better when the whole cake is decorated with these small flowers.
For quite some time I have been making this hydrangea cake that is now one of my signature cake designs, a wreath of hydrangeas and cascading vines on the sides of the cake with some tiny buds . Color varies depending on request , but I love this mauve with a hint of golden yellow.
Wildflowers
/These tiny florals in deep Spring colors climb up on the sides of his gorgeous fairytale-worthy cake.
I designed this cake just in time to celebrate all of the beautiful blooming wildflowers.
Sweet Sixteen cake
/There are so many milestones during a girl's teen years, but the sweet 16 birthday stands out from the rest. To celebrate a special girl, her mother ordered this vanilla cake filled with "dulce de leche", topped with hand-piped buttercream flowers.
A joy to make!!!
Happy Valentine's Day

Adorable mini cupcakes
/The tiniest of adorable cupcakes.

CRUNCH
/The temptation of something sweet is what ultimately sells someone on dessert. I don’t underestimate the importance of texture as well when it comes to satisfying those post-meal purchases. I think about the universal appeal of crunchy textures.
I answer the call for a crunchy dessert with this crave-worthy new offering. -Anabel

Cinnamon Raisin Buns
/Cold weather and holiday season makes me want to have breakfast with cinnamon buns every day. I like them with a drizzle of sugar & milk glaze.
I like to add a teaspoon of orange zest to the brown sugar, cinnamon, and raisin filling.
The recipe is from Smitten Kitchen.
Pink & Mauve

Pumpkin Spice Latte Cake
/Celebrating the colors of the season on this first day of fall with a pumpkin cake, filled and frosted with latte buttercream, so it is basically a “Pumpkin Spice Latte” cake. It is topped with sugar paste mini pumpkins and pine cones.
Swirls of Latte buttercream, mini sugar pumpkins and pine cones.
Butterscotch Cookies
/Soft and chewy brown sugar cookies with sweet butterscotch chips. Yes, a whole bag of butterscotch chips in this recipe.
To me, butterscotch cookies taste like waffles loaded with syrup and are crispy and chewy.
Brush Stroke Macarons
/In addition to creating a new flavor, I also experimented with painting these macarons with a dash of edible paint. It can really make a difference in the look of the cookies.
The macarons by itself were looking great, but I still wanted a bit more color and fun, so I decided to paint them with a brush, to give a blush pink brush stroke on top of the macaron shell. I love the effect.
They were perfectly crunchy, chewy, with the slight salty sweet caramel notes from the buttercream frosting and piece of caramel sandwiched in the center.
Salted Caramel Macarons
/Simply scrumptious salted caramel macarons are bite-sized gems. Two incredible flavors come together to make these party-perfect macarons!
Two classic macaron cookies with a salty caramel center and vanilla~caramel French buttercream. Beautifully delicious.
