A Little About Me

After growing up making all the sweets at every family gathering and holiday, I fell in love with desserts. I chose to attend the Culinary Arts program at Brigham Young University Idaho. After graduating I have worked at various jobs making cakes and other goodies. The most recent being the Pastry Chef for the Oxford University Club, Taylor Grocery Special Events Catering in Oxford, Mississippi, and now my mom's farm-Fiddlin Rooster Farm- in Water Valley, MS. I have many family recipes and several of my own that I enjoy making and would love to make them for you.

McClurkin Wedding

McClurkin Wedding
This cake was so much fun to work on. The bride gave me 2 pictures and I found another and we combined ideas from each one to creat her cake. The reception hall had peacock feathers incorporated into all of the decorations. The topper for the cake was perfect to finish off the feathered look in the front. Each feather was made out of fondant and colored with eddible luster dust and glitter giving it a nice shimmer. The cake was raspberry swirl with a raspberry mouse filling and hazelnut with a hazelnut mouse filling and iced in a vanilla buttercream.
