Thank you to everyone who nominated Blue Box Bakery for @washingtonweddingday Best of 2026!
I am grateful each and every year I get the honor of making cakes and desserts for our clients.
And special thanks to my amazing (and better tech equipped) friends @callaroseandco for making me this picture! (And for hiring me to make this cake for her sisters wedding 😘)

We’ve got just 2 more weeks left in our wedding season, and I’m already feeling nostalgic for recent summer weddings!
I was completely overjoyed to find these in my inbox from our lovely couple W&P!

Thanks Anna and @tetianaphotography for that cake set up pic of me that snuck its way in! 🥰🥰
A lovely sugar flower garden…
What’s your favorite flower? It’ll forever be a peony for me, but I absolutely hate making sugar peonies for some reason.
Wow! 10 years ago, I moved back home to Seattle, got married and had no idea what to do with my life.
Around 9 years ago, I had a dinner with @sheenakalso who was my wedding planner turned friend, who really encouraged me to go all in on Blue Box Bakery. She introduced me to some amazing wedding professionals who championed me, and some of those planners in those early years (shout out @newcreationswed and @pinkblossomevents ) who recommended me to their clients when I was a nobody all those years ago, and are still recommending me to their clients today.
I genuinely don’t know if I would still be in business, especially after this past year, if it weren’t for the love of support of this amazing wedding community, who sent me flowers, food and love during one of the hardest years of my life.
So thank you, to all my fellow wedding vendor community. I really could not do what I do, if it weren’t for all of you!!

I just love a watercolor moment (and when I remember to take videos and photos of my work 🫣)

Felt like this needed a permanent spot in the feed. I still can’t listen to this song without bawling.
Today is Rare Disease Awareness Day.
What started as a rash on my moms hands, led to a process of her seeing many dermatologists, getting referred to specialist after specialist with us still thinking it could be a random rash from gardening or an allergic reaction. After consulting with several doctors and specialists, with no improvement, it took weeks to get the diagnosis of dermatomyositis.
Dermatomyositis is a rare autoimmune disorder that attacked her skin, lungs, and joints that caused significant pain and difficulty with breathing, eating, and swallowing.
Dermatomyositis is a rare condition with no cure. Only 1 in 100,000 people per year are diagnosed with this condition.
As her condition rapidly deteriorated, and transferring her to different hospital, we later discovered that she actually had an even more rare, and a rapidly progressive subtype called anti MDA5 Dermatomyositis.
There is no cure. As far as we learned, there are not even any studies to find one, because it is so rare. Only 7-60% of that 1 in 100,000 are suspected of having this subtype. I’m no math expert, but even I can tell you that sucks.
I learned first hand what it looks like to watch someone you love struggle through their final days, and watch medical professionals work with their hands tied behind their backs because there just isn’t enough information to do anything.
Raising awareness to these rare diseases can only help highlight the deficiencies in our health care system, and where research is needed.
This year the FDA-NIH postponed their annual Rare Disease Day Conference which is meant to raise awareness among policymakers and the public about rare diseases and their impact on patients’ lives.
Raising Awareness for rare diseases shouldn’t be political, but in our current era, it seems it is. Please spread awareness. Rare diseases don’t care about your political party. Your age. Your gender. Your sexual orientation. But it does need research. That means grants. Money. And awareness.

Thank you so much to everyone who voted for me! So excited to be a FINALIST in @washingtonweddingday Best of 2025 list!
As we head into the 2nd round of voting, I just wanted to show my gratitude and appreciation for all of you. 2024 was probably one of the hardest years of my life on a personal front, but man did this community show up for me and my family. It makes doing what I love that much sweeter, having this amazing wedding community here in Seattle!
Ok, now that I’m done gushing, I’d love your vendor votes again! It’s going to be so tough with all the other amazing cake artists in these categories, many of whom are amazing friends. Link to vote is in my bio.
