Cleveland has been a true Metropolis the last few weeks!

Filming for the new Superman movie just wrapped here in the city and it was so cool to see the production at work! The landmarks here in Cleveland are truly beautiful and I can’t wait to see the movie!

In honor of Superman and of his home here in Cleveland, please enjoy some themed movie snacks! (I’m really happy with the swirled macarons 😍)

Even if you don’t care for NASCAR, you can’t tell me these aren’t badass 😎

So the Benesch law firm has a NASCAR car…☺️
and it is currently being raced in the Chicago street race - Grant Park 165. Driven both times now by professional race car driver A.J. Allmendinger (aka The Dinger), the Benesch car took second last year and we are still hoping for a win! 🏁🏁🏁

Go Benesch!!!

A huge thank you to for commissioning me to immortalize this amazing car in cookie form 💙

Happy Birthday Megan! ❤️🎂❤️

For those of you who don’t know Megan Parker, she is an IP attorney at Benesch and she just turned 25!

🥳🥳🥳

Congratulations on all your accomplishments in life Megan and thank you so much for choosing me to make your birthday cookies! 💖💖💖

Megan came up with the design (see original at end), and it doesn’t look like it, but there are 💯of these hand-piped sugar cookies!!!

She also wanted bite-sized macarons in chocolate mint and birthday cake (of course!)

I hope you had a wonderful birthday and an amazing party! 🥰

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms! ❤️❤️❤️

I’ve learned you don’t need to have children yourself to be a mother. If you’re helping to raise children, I want to wish you a very Happy Mother’s Day 💕

And a very happy Mother’s Day to my grandmother, Vivian McNenny - graciously featured in my pictures! And a thank you to my Aunt Colleen for her purchase of my grandmother’s gift box this year!
