Cake decorating with my niece = 10% art👩🏻‍🎨, 90% negotiations over frosting 😂

Made this sideways heart cake (always gotta be extra💁🏻‍♀️) with palette knife buttercream flowers for my sister ’s birthday recently. Love when I get to hang out with my niece, nephew & rest of my family🥰🥰

POV: You booked a solo cake lesson with me so you can learn the proper techniques to make all your baby’s birthday cakes!🥰🎂 Anakaren did an amazing job! I can’t wait to see how her future cakes come out!😍

It’s truly worth the investment!😁 That’s how I got started with cake decorating too!💖 But anyway, of course you don’t have to have a baby to start cake decorating! If this is something you’ve been thinking about, maybe this is your sign to DM me to inquire about a lesson!😁-Joy of MMC Bakes👩🏻‍🍳💛

2016 was my first official year of making custom cakes!👩🏻‍🍳🎂 I marvel at how many I was actually able to produce having a baby & toddler at home that year!😲 I can tell I took a lot of pride in my work, was eager to expand my skills, and grow this business.

Ten years later in 2026, I checked and the last time I made a custom cake was in 2022. Do I miss making these beautiful cakes?
In short, my honest answer is NO. The only thing I do miss is being able to bring my customer’s dream cake ideas to life and make them happy! Obviously, it was a LOT of work, and after six years of the custom order grind, I stopped because I was ready to move on. I hate to admit it, but I was also burnt out from the constant grueling hours- even if I was in the comfort of my own home with my family, which is why I started a home business in the first place!

Nowadays, I love to teach cake workshops and private lessons to allow for more life balance while still sharing my craft. I still make cakes on rare occasions for my family, but only my own accord.

I look back fondly at all the cakes I made and remember making every single one of them!😆 For real, try me! I may not recognize my customers’ faces, but tell me your cake theme & I’ll remember your cake instantly!😁

Cheers!

The 29th Annual PASACAT Parol🌟Festival is always my favorite vendor event of the holiday season!🥰❄️ I love the performances, the ambiance, sense of community, and pride!🇵🇭🫶🏽

Special THANKS to everyone who stopped by to show support & to for having me again!👩🏻‍🍳🙏🏽

This event was exactly five weeks ago, but feels like months ago!😮‍💨 I’m sure I’m not the only that feels this way about last December!😂

Cheers for the new year!🎊✨

Thanks for your support the past nine years, and for understanding that I chose NOT to sell this Christmas week.☺️ The previous three weeks have been non-stop anyway😆

2025 has been a really challenging year for so many personal reasons. Business-wise, the highlight of this year were the multiple pop-ups & classes I taught, but I’m way behind on posting those!🫣 I know I’ve been pretty quiet most of this year not updating or even e-mailing my subscribers, but I’m still in business! The truth is, I have stayed as busy as I could possibly manage at this time -thanks to you!🥰🙏🏽

Thanks to everyone who has reached out to still to place orders with me, even without my usual announcements! I really appreciate you & would not stay in business all these years without you!! Happy Holidays!!🎄🎅🏽🎊🎉 👩🏻‍🍳💛
