Speshyl was such a pleasure to work with and she never disappoints! She made 2 cakes for me; one for my gender reveal and another for my baby shower. She was able to bring my ideas to life both times and surpassed my expectations. Not only did the cakes look amazing but they taste even better. As I stated before, she never disappoints and she’s EXTREMELY professional.

Where do I start? My charcuterie table spread and cake were the main attraction at my gender reveal and baby shower! I gave an idea of what I wanted and The Daily Speshyl went pass my expectations. Her customer service was amazing. Answered all my questions, responded quickly and was on time. You can tell she loves what she does. I couldn’t ask for a better catering experience. 10/10 would recommend and I’m definitely booking her again for twin boys 1st birthday party and all other future events 😊

Also, this was my first time working with fondant on a cake!! I can definitely say I’m more of a buttercream girl, but it was really fun to try something new.

3 days of prep/work, packaged up into a 1 minute video 😭

72 Hours in New Orleans!!! I recently went to New 72 Hours in New Orleans!!! I recently went to New Orleans to celebrate my friend @vonnyyy_ ‘s 30th birthday 🥳 It was the best trip I’ve gone on thus far, & New Orleans is my new favorite travel destination 🥹

We tried to squeeze in as many food spots as we could & honestly, creole cuisine is top 2… 🗣️AND IT’S NOT 2! Here’s everything we ate in this video:

@morrowsnola - charbroiled oysters, Cajun crawfish pasta, shrimp po’ boy, potato salad (this entire meal was life changing! We all landed and headed straight here for dinner! There were 6 of us in a group & the wait time was 2 hours but we made friends with a local after 30 mins and she got us in asap! I definitely recommend making reservations before you come here, but the 2 hour wait would’ve been worth it because that food is THAT DAMN GOOD!)

@cafeamelie - shrimp & grits (I always order shrimp & grits whenever I see it on a menu & usually it’s nothing to write home about… but this right here!!! WOW! My favorite shrimp & grits used to be in Miami at the Front Porch Cafe, but this dish at Cafe Amelie has taken the top spot 🔥)

@lorettaspralines - original beignets & crab stuffed beignets (when I tell you these beignets made me want to cry!!! I always imagined eating beignets since I watched Princess & The Frog & I didn’t want to be disappointed. I heard mixed reviews about cafe du monde — mostly negative — so I researched somewhere that might be better. I will never ever forget about that crab stuffed beignet & I honestly am planning a trip back just to get my hands on one again 😭 We ended up trying cafe du monde on our last day, & they were not great 🙂)

New Orleans is so beautiful. The people, the food, the rich culture. I cannot get enough & I cannot wait to go back!

Stay tuned for part 2 to see the rest of the food spots we hit!

My twin Godsons turned 6 months, so it’s only ri My twin Godsons turned 6 months, so it’s only right that I went all out for their half birthday cake 🥹 Their theme was “Halfway Around The Sun” & @sophisticated_shay requested a galaxy cake!

This cake challenged me in sooooo many ways…

The mirror glaze was easy to make, but it took a couple of pours to get it right (since it was slipping off of the cake and creating gaps). I used a @nordicwareusa half sheet tray & cooling rack lined with parchment & put the cake on a pint container so that the glaze could fall from a good height. 

I figured out that working right in front of an air conditioner directed at the cake & using a blow dryer on the cool setting helped it adhere more. Also, working with an extremely cold cake is a must. I frosted/ crumb coated these layers while they were frozen so they cold be as cold as possible.

I used white food coloring on a pastry brush to flick some “stars” onto the glaze.

I let the cake set in the fridge overnight after the glaze, and decorated it the next morning.

Now stacking the two tiers?! A HEADACHE! Because once you place it, there’s no moving it 😭 the mirror glaze was pretty sticky, so I only had one chance to place it.

I made the cake topper using a cricut machine (which always comes in clutch), and @wiltoncakes silver fondant for my babies names (Tyler & Skyler) 🩵

I’m an overanalyzer & perfectionist, so there are so many things that I notice & would do differently next time; but other than that, I think it came out beautifully!

Although my craft & profession is savory food, I love to dibble & dabble in pastry, and learn new techniques 🤗
