When a milestone is this magical, it deserves a celebration to match. Elyna turned one in a setting that blended elegance with charm, and the result was pure storybook charm.
For this occasion, I created a cake, cupcakes, and set of cookies that played with gentle textures, airy colors, and sweet little nods to Elyna’s Korean heritage. Everything was designed to feel delicate and joyful.
Here’s to Elyna’s first year!

If you love vintage charm, pastel colors, and party treats that double as art, these carousel-themed mini cakes are for you. I made this whimsical set for a birthday celebration and they were the sweetest little showstoppers.
Each mini cake was designed with inspiration from classic carousels: tall tops that mimic the shape of carousel tents, ruffled piping that sways like twirling skirts, and soft colors straight out of a fairytale. Shades of baby pink, powder blue, lemon yellow, and sage green brought that playful, candy-colored magic to life.
Whether you're planning a carousel birthday party, a vintage-inspired baby shower, or just love a nostalgic cake moment, these custom mini cakes bring all the pastel joy and party energy you could want.
