About Me

Anchorage, Alaska, United States
My name is Cher, an amateur baker in the Anchorage area looking to fulfill a dream. Since I can remember I’ve been baking. Every year at Christmas my Mom, Sister and I would get our hands sticky making fudge, “snow-balls” and sugar cookies decorated with a delicious icing. We packaged and delivered numerous tins containing tasty treats to our closest friends and family. It was one of the few traditions our family had and I loved it. I first started baking on my own with a peach cobbler recipe given to me by my Grandma. She always had the most delicious cobblers, pies and of course lots of ice cream waiting for me any time I would visit. I am sure this is where I developed my sweet-tooth. :) Follow me as I learn the odds and ends of baking and strive for my ultimate goal, a successful cake business.

German Chocolate Gloriousness

This has been one of my favorite cakes so far. I'm not a huge chocolate person but this inside-out German chocolate cake was absolutely delicious! The walnuts and coconut are toasted to perfection and then mixed with a cooked, sweetened, condensed milk that make for a fantastic filling. I roasted extra coconut and used a cookie cutter as an outline for a coconut maple leaf as well as extra for garnish. Yum!
