When your husband comes home from work saying “you have 2 cheesecake orders”. I appreciate him hustling for me 🙌😂

They wanted no toppings and no whipped cream. One is blueberry swirl and the other is strawberry swirl. I always make my own Jane 🥰🤩

I’m so thankful for all the love and supportive received over the years. Especially to the ones who encouraged me many years ago to take that start ❤️❤️❤️

Taylor Mercer has proudly called Cenla home for nearly 14 years, and through her business, “Taylor Made Sweets”, she has found a way to combine creativity, passion, and community into every dessert she creates. Taylor Made Sweets page

Taylor’s love for baking began in the kitchen with her grandmother, where cherished memories and homemade desserts first inspired her passion for cake decorating. What started as a family tradition eventually grew into a creative outlet that she has now pursued professionally for more than five years. From custom cakes to sweet treats, Taylor enjoys bringing joy to others through desserts that are both beautiful and delicious.

For Taylor, the most rewarding part of her work is seeing the excitement on people’s faces when they receive one of her creations. Even more meaningful is when customers return and share how much they enjoyed the flavor and experience. She believes desserts have a unique way of creating memorable moments for families, celebrations, and special occasions.

One of the things Taylor loves most about Cenla is its diversity of opportunity. She appreciates the blend of locally owned shops, pop-up vendors, family farms, and growing businesses that give the region its unique character. From busy city streets to quiet back roads, she believes Cenla offers something special for everyone.

Looking ahead, Taylor hopes to see more family-centered attractions and educational opportunities that strengthen families and help create lasting impact for future generations. That is why Taylor Mercer is !!!

Yesterday I was able to make cupcakes for Autism awareness Month 🧩

This blessed me so much. I have relatives who are on the spectrum so this is near to my heart.

Here are some facts about autism to spread awareness and acceptance 🫶

🧩It is a complex developmental condition that affects communication, social interaction, and behavior.

🧩While autistic individuals may face challenges with communication and social skills, they may also have distinct strengths in areas like pattern recognition, memory, or focus.

🧩 Autism is usually identified in early childhood and is not something that can be "cured," but tailored support and understanding can help individuals thrive.

Awareness and acceptance will help all on the spectrum thrive ❤️ and everyone deserves to thrive 🙌

Today (this evening at dark) Passover begins. And for those that don’t know, I’ll share a little bit about it.

To put it simpler, it was the way of escape for God’s people (the Israelites) to be freed from slavery (from the Egyptians). And marked the beginning of their nation and freedom.

The “Passover” name comes from the action, in which God “passed over” the houses whose door post were sprinkled with the blood of a lamb during the 10th plague.

This is a white cake with red sprinkles mixed in, representing the “sprinkling of the blood of the lamb”
(While not traditional Jewish Passover food, it’s what I had available to do)

And now as New Testament, new covenant believers when we read the word of God we see how Jesus was the Lamb that was slain to take away the curse of the sins of the world.

And when we “behold the lamb” our focus is on the freedom we have through Jesus Christ and what he did on the cross.
