Welcoming the Holidays

Season's greetings from Kyle, Texas! Kassandra Osorio here, your enthusiastic baker from Kassy Cakes and I am excited to spread some holiday cheer. At the end of another year, I'm very glad to introduce my favorite holiday-inspired bakes right across from celebratory downtown Austin.

During Christmas, Austin is a sight to see with its dazzling lights and joyful celebrations. So, based on this idea I have been designing holiday-style cakes such as a red velvet cake with buttercream snow and colored sprinkles to highlight Austin's cheerful Trail of Lights.

Tasting local flavors has been a pleasure. My latest creation? It is also equipped with a Texas-style pecan praline frosting, which has become an instant hit to our famous pecans.

Looking back at this past year's journey, I am thankful for all the cake decorating lessons and growth. Amongst personal triumphs: a cake designed for the wedding of schoolmates at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, to mirror Texas' own natural charms.

Sensational news for the new year- I have a new website, and I am considering holding some baking lessons!? Just right for the novice baker or one who wants to add a creative touch.

Besides baking, my family and I all threw ourselves into the lively activities of Austin--the Trail in Lights was made even more vibrant by a little girl's efforts; and live music is one of our city's claims to fame.

Thank you for coming along on this sweet ride with me. It has been a very satisfying year, and your support the cherry on top. With the arrival of a new year, I wish you all happiness and peace--and cakes with delicious fillings.

Cheers for a happy and prosperous New Year, with more cake-filled escapades to come in 2024.
