Cakes for Cancer Cake


For the most part…teenagers are the worst. I know…I used to be one. But every once in a while, they do something to surprise you, and remind you that one day they will be in charge of the world that we live in.

A few weeks after my mom passed away from lung cancer, my sixteen year old cousin, Abby, decided to start a club at her school called Cakes for Cancer. To put in her own words, Cakes for Cancer is a club that hopes to “raise money to help find a cure for lung cancer and to spread awareness about this terrible disease. This club is a way for me to honor my Aunt’s life and help to find a cure so that others hopefully will never have to go through what my aunt did.”

Basically, she is adorable and I love her. I am so proud of her for putting this whole thing together. So naturally, when she asked me to help, I told her I would do anything she needed. Luckily for me, that happened to be in the cake department.

I helped her and a few of the girls in the club bake cakes for bake sales they held at their school and at the local farmers market. To date, they have already collected close to $10,000! Not bad for selling a few slices of cake.

99% of what I make gets eaten by me or shared with friends or family. But I wanted these guys to last a little longer! So I went with dummies! 🎂

Midnights Era - The final era in this cake roundup. Taylor announced her 10th studio album as “a collection of music written in the middle of the night...exploring old memories and midnights past”. We all have stuff that keeps us up at night. It’s what makes us human. But no matter who we are or where we live or what’s going on in our lives - just outside our windows, the same moon and stars shine over us all. And I think there is something comforting about that. So for this final cake, I went for a start night sky. Let me know what you guys think!

Evermore Era - This album is the sister album to Folklore - aka a lot of time in the woods with a more mature indie folk sound. Becuase I decided to stick with a black and white color palate for the Folklore cake, I knew I wanted to create the moss-covered Piano for my Evermore cake. And even though the moss may or may not look like broccoli from some angles, I am pretty happy with how this cake turned out! Let me know what you guys think!
