Maybe you are like my family. Maybe all families are like mine during the holidays…traveling. Do you get to stay at home all those days you have off, or are you loaded up on a 5 hour trek across two states to visit family? Do you feel like you need a break from your break […]
It seems that so many bloggers are making holiday wish lists this year, I just couldn’t pass up the opportunity! The holidays are, to me, more about giving than receiving, but hey – if you are determined to buy me something? Look no further! Here’s what I want! But, to keep it from being ALL […]
I don’t know about you, but Christmas for me has gotten a bit…stressful. It seems so many of us, myself included, are finding it hard to justify high price tag gifts this year with such a strain on our pocketbooks. In fact, most of my friends and family have implemented a “Let’s just give ornaments […]

Imagine sitting in the studio audience of the Martha Stewart Show, watching Martha and her special guest chef making a buttercream pie on the overhead monitors (as you can’t actually SEE them due to the umpteen cameras in the way), and you kind of forget where you are. You forget that you are there, […]
Here is a look at the 3 tiered stacked cake I made for a 50th anniversary party. The flowers were the choice of the client. Sorry for the bad picture quality, it was so dark in there! Bottom layer was Lemon cake with blueberry cream filling, Middle Layer was Devils Food cake with chocolate mousse, […]
I rarely, if ever, get negative comments on my blog. I mean, really? Who feels the need to be nasty to a Foodie/Mommy Blogger? Aren’t we about the most socially backward people on the planet? (Okay, maybe it’s just me, but I somehow doubt it.) Anyway, this commenter. I thought about just letting it go. […]
Maybe you are wondering about Pizza Hut. Are you? Did you wonder if they tried to reach out to me? I’m just a measly little blogger after all…why would a huge corporation like Pizza Hut care what Susan Whetzel has to say? I’ll tell you why. Social Networking. In the old days (you know, circa […]
Sorry for the lack of posting lately, but you see, I have been away. To The MARTHA Show. As in THE Martha. You know who she is. We all love to hate her, we all hate to love her. It’s the truth, and you know it. It’s just that no one really wants to admit […]
This weekend, although swamped (yay!) with cake orders, I needed to pull together a yummy dessert to take to a friends house. We’re talking just a couple of hours of leeway, so there was no time for digging through recipes…but I wanted something decadent and memorable. We don’t always have time for complicated around here, […]
In case you are a blogger, like myself, you probably realize that weekends do not really have great traffic. It’s a fact of life…people have more time to play on the internet when someone is paying them to be doing something else. Something important, like designing a building. Or keeping dangerous criminals behind bars. Or […]
The fact that I, Susan Whetzel, am giving a tutorial on a cake blows my mind. The fact that it is a Millennium Falcon cake is even more mind blowing. I’ve never even watched Star Wars. If you are here looking for a true replica, to scale, with working parts and lights and robots, you’ve […]
