Sexy Mama

I live on the best, I mean GREATEST street in all of Atlanta. What makes it such a fantastic place to live and raise a family? My neighbors! This past Sunday we had a surprise baby shower for the original Sexy Mama, who is going to have her second child and can you guess by all the pink whether it's a boy or girl?


All of us took a role in the shindig and of course I volunteered to make the invitations and get the cake. Looking for more of a modern theme, as opposed to booties and baby lambs I came up with a fun, mod pink, green and brown invite for the shindig and have called it the Sexy Mama baby shower invite. Also whipped up a set of coordinating Notes For Baby-To-Be.

How about a matching cake? Can you believe this? Trust me when I tell you it tastes as great as it looks! It was a 4 layer almond cake with rich chocolate ganache and I'm around 10 pounds heavier than I started on Sunday. All I did was send a picture of the invite to my favorite Etsy baker Sugar Dreams Bakery and voila! this is what she came up with, true talent.

Keeping true to the whole Etsy/handmade theme I got this adorable sparrow bib and burp cloth set from the Paisley Pineapple. The backside is the softest terry cloth I have ever seen.

Oh, and did I mention even my headband is from Etsy, check out Easy Edges Studio for the most comfortable headbands ever!!

Back on Father's Day I posted about Stacie at Sugar Dreams Bakery and her amazingly tasty and every so moist, Gluten Free Coconut cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. Well, she did it again!!

I recently had a houseful of family and needed a great cake to go along with my Mother-In-Law's fabulous cooking. My husband has gluten-free needs and typically we find most GF baked goods to lack moisture and flavor. This is not the case with Sugar Dreams Bakery, I can ASSURE you!

Never in my life have I had a coconut cake like this. It's not too sweet, just perfect, dense and moist. I could make a meal out of the cream cheese frosting alone. The fact she also has gluten free recipes is just another perk. Stacie is super talented and only weighs about 30 pounds, so I'm pretty sure she's not sampling any of her yummy treats:) She also has perfected the art of shipping her cakes and cupcakes and is gaining quite a following. If you are ready to try the best tasting cakes and cupcakes - EVER - Stacie is offering a 10% discount to all my blog readers on orders over $35. Mention this promo in the "notes to seller" section during checkout. The shop.
