Happy Valentine's Day

My family is known for making these delicious cookies called Jam Sticks. My Grandma made them, my Mom made them, I make them and someday little Miss Belle will make them. They're usually in stick form, hence the name, Jam Sticks, but I thought it might be fun to try and switch it up for Valentine's Day.


The deep red of the raspberry jam and the white of the icing are perfect colors for the holiday. I secretly stuck one in Danielle's lunch box today, I think she'll get a kick out of it. Hope everyone has a wonderfully sweet day!

Words with Friends 30th Birthday Cake

Welcome to the very first blog post for Bella Cakes! Today was my sister's 30th birthday and we're quite the 'Words with Friends' family, so it was only fitting that I make her a WWF-themed cake! White cake with strawberry filling, buttercream icing with fondant decorations.


I think my favorite part was coming up with all the funny words to use on the board. Good thing she has a sense of humor! Happy Birthday, Briana!
