Have you met my friend Cakespy? If not, let me introduce you.
Readers, Cakespy. Cakespy, readers.
Cakespy is one of my favorite blogs because it explores sweetness and cake in all of its beautiful (and tasty) forms. From interviews with all-star bakers to recipes to bakery visits around the world, Cakespy has got it all. And then some. Including some awesome artwork.
Let’s get to know each other a little better, shall we?
This is some of Cakespy’s (a.k.a. Jessie Oleson’s) artwork. Talented, eh? I don’t think I could even draw one of those candy canes. I think Jessie draws a little something for each post–time consuming and total attention to detail. Makes every post feel special.
This is Cuppie. Isn’t she cute? Cuppie is ever-present in Cakespy’s art, and here she is in ornament form. I need her on my Christmas tree.
Here’s Cuppie again on a cute tee. Subway Cuppie, cruisin the tubes.
And here’s Cuppie with some Aussie friends. I love, love, love Cakespy’s bakery visits. From Sydney to San Diego, you can read about “Cakewalks” from Cake Gumshoes around the globe.
But the thing I love most about Cakespy?
The recipes, of course. Like for this Grilled Cheesecake Sandwich.
Oh. My. Goodness. My heart clogged just thinking about it. But it would be worth it, methinks.
Alright, alright. There’s something else I love about Cakespy. They were lovely enough to let me be a guest blogger during the 12 Days of Bakemas and feature my Chocolate Babka and Bacon Cinnamon Rolls.
I’m totally flattered, Cakespy. You’re much more of a talent than I. Keep up the beautiful, delicious work.
Thanks, Jessie, and thanks to all of you readers who came on over here from Cakespy!
