My Very Favorite Vanilla Frosting + A Teddy Bear Picnic

Sep 24, 2019 | By Melissa

The sweetest girl in the whole world just had her first birthday. I am honestly still a bit stunned that she is a year old. That whole third-child thing? It’s real. Time is legit zooming by way faster than it did with Jake or Caitlin. Back when I was 42 weeks pregnant with a baby […]

Caitlin’s Art Birthday Party

May 29, 2019 | By Melissa

It has been a long while since I’ve written about a birthday party on Savored Grace. But my beautiful, vibrant daughter Caitlin turned 4 (!), and I can’t wait to share her art party with you! Dearest Caitlin, I know how you hate to have anyone say anything special about you. (Words of affection are not […]

Celebrating Holy Week with Kids

Apr 06, 2019 | By Melissa

This year, one of my major happiness goals is to make a big deal out of celebrating Easter. I got to thinking after a talk at my moms group last year: why is Christmas such a huge deal, but Easter is a second-rate holiday? I don’t know about you, but at least at our house, […]

Jake’s Birthday Costume Party

Oct 26, 2017 | By Melissa

How in the world did my son turn 5? It’s not like the days or years have felt short; I honestly can’t even remember (because it seems so long ago) what my life was before this kid made me a mom. It’s just that I remember so clearly thinking he would be small forever. That […]

How to Transport a Tiered Wedding Cake

Jun 25, 2017 | By Melissa

I dearly wish I had taken pictures of the fancy cakes I baked last summer when they were in the car. Then I could have shown you that they did actually survive being in my car. Alas. I must have been too panicked about delivering them in pristine condition despite the scorching heat. You will just have […]

Wedding Cake Should Be Chocolate: The Bridal Cake

Jun 22, 2017 | By Melissa

Last summer, I tried on the hat of official wedding cake baker, and I baked for a gorgeous wedding with 200 guests! Today I am going to share with you the ultimate challenge of that adventure: the bridal cake. After making this cake, I truly understand why wedding cakes are so costly. The intricate detail, […]

Wedding Cake Should Be Chocolate: The Groom’s Cake

Jun 20, 2017 | By Melissa

Last summer I made a wedding cake! Or, to be more precise, I made a bridal cake, a groom’s cake, and several sheet cakes for the absolutely gorgeous wedding of some friends of mine! The bride used to babysit my children, and her mother is one of my dearest friends and mentors. It was such […]

Wedding Cake Should Be Chocolate: The Planning Stage

Jun 19, 2017 | By Melissa

Last year, when a dear friend asked me to do the wedding cake for her daughter, I was immediately all in. Yes, of course! The beautiful bride and groom just celebrated their first anniversary, so despite all of the changes going on around these parts, I thought this was the perfect time to share with […]

Storybook Birthday Party

May 22, 2017 | By Melissa

One month ago, my darling baby Caitlin turned 2! Of course, if you ask her how old she is, she says, “Cake!” Caitlin is a sweet and determined little girl. She always knows what she wants and what she doesn’t! It has been so fun watching her learn over this past year: just when I […]

S’Mores Ice Cream Cake

Oct 31, 2016 | By Melissa

This year, Jake knew exactly what he wanted for his birthday. It was s’moresy. It had ice cream. It was a layer cake. I had never made an ice cream cake before, but it turns out that it isn’t hard! Also, it turns out that Jake is once again a dessert genius, because this birthday […]
