CELEBRITY SPOTLIGHT: Adele is bringing it on wax and runway

(www.FatGirlLovesCake.com) -  When you want to throw people off there is no better way than the way Adele is serving it up lately.

PREVIEW: Toni Collette and Drew Barrymore shine in "Miss You Already"

(www.FatGirlLovesCake.com) - When you think of life, you think of trying to get everything you can out of it. That's what Toni Collette and Drew Barrymore do in the movie, "Miss You Already," which hits studios on November 6, 2015.

I spent the morning with Toni (United States of Tara) and a couple dozen mom bloggers screening the movie in New York City, noshing on a delicious breakfast prepared by Chef Bailey and holding pretty tight to my box of tissues supplied by Cold-Eeze, which sponsored the event. We were given swag bags with their latest products including a new Children's version. 

I laughed. I laughed until I cried and I left feeling grateful for life.

RECAP: Arthitis Foundation "Crystal Ball" raises $100,000+ at Ritz in Atlanta

(www.FatGirlLovesCake.com) - It was an enchanted evening on October 17, 2015 when the Georgia Chapter of the Arthritis Foundation hosted their annual Crystal Ball.

With a theme of "Southern Hospitality" the night began with hor d'oeuvres, cocktails and a silent auction featuring top notch prizes, original artwork and more. Elegant ball gowns, jewelry and shoes were everywhere. It was a very elegant way to raise $100,000.

A recent study found that obesity plays a big part of the problem. While this blog celebrates positive body image, it's important to point out that Arthitis can be better managed with weight control.

CELEBRITY SPOTLIGHT: OMG! I'm going to work with Sarah Michelle Gellar

(www.FatGirlLovesCake.com) - I'm excited to be tapped as one of a handful of influential bloggers to help actress Sarah Michelle Gellar launch her new line!

Many may remember her from her role as Buffy the Vampire Slayer but there are hot new rumors that she will play Princess Leia in the upcoming Star Wars movie.

Fashion Meets Food: The life and times of a celebrity reporter

(www.FatGirlLovesCake.com) - Some people may wonder why anyone would name a blog "Fat Girl Loves Cake" or even want to create a blog that celebrates being fat. Fat shamers won't get much love here, but you will get a sammich (pronounced: sammm-itch) and is code for cucumber sandwich - big girl style with bacon, mayo and double cheese).

That's because FatGirlLovesCake was created on September 10, 2015 which was also the first day of New York City's Fashion Week 2015 as I huffed and puffed my way up a steep New York City hill heading to a posh Manhattan eatery to help journalist and style diva Nancy O'Dell launch her new fall line.

"I need a better job or an oxygen tank with air that smells like bacon," I joked to myself. "If only people could see what I go through to get the stories that they love. How funny would that be?!"

The more I thought about it the more funny it became until I stopped on a dime in the middle of the street and got eerily serious: That really is funny. In that moment, FatGirlLovesCake.com was born.


CAKE Magazine will be a monthly publication featuring the latest fashion, food trends and of course - my favorite feature - CAKE of the MONTH.

I'm not sure what cake will be but to me it stands for a symbol of happyness. I purposely spelled happiness with a "y" because it symbolizes that being happy is different for every person. Cake means whatever YOU want it to mean. Do you like shoes? That's YOUR cake. Do you like $500,000 sports cars? That's YOUR cake.

Together we're going to redefine what it means to be who we are. Once and for all, we're going to shed our fear and put on our sexy, bedazzled big gurl panties and stand up and be counted! We'll use fun nicknames like "Mama Cake" as our handles and from time-to-time win prizes, attend get-togethers and do meet and greets with our favorite celebrities!

I know this website is going to be visited by non-fat people, but please pardon my manners. I won't be changing the tone or editing posts or guest posts to suit you. If you come to FatGirlsLoveCake.com, you'll have to learn to adapt because this website is a celebration of full figure women with style!

Thank you for taking this journey with me! I love ya, gals!

CAKE FAIR: Sugar, spice and cake twice!

(www.FatGirlLovesCake.com) - My fingers are shaking as I'm writing this post. Somehow, I missed the memo about #CakeFair2015, an entire conference on cakes, sugar treats and celebrity chefs. It's all going down in Orlando at the Hyatt Regency from September 18-20.

Here's what we are missing:

Cake Competition is the world’s crème de la crème and offers a supreme display of cakes created by some of the world’s most talented cake artists and decorators to be judged by a panel of revered cake connoisseurs. Cake artists from around the globe will compete for $15,000 in prizes in this exhilarating day-long decorating challenge.

On the party side of things, the Sugar Arts Fashion Show & Cocktail Party is right up my alley because it literally is my mission statement: "Where Fashion Meets Food." The party features a red velvet carpet event.

No disrepect to all the #NFYW2015 and #MsAmerica experiences I had last week, but #CakeFair2015 was meant for me! It has everything a Fat Girl diva like me desires including a high-fashion haven, where haute chocolate couture and sinfully delectable designs will dominate the runway – designed by master sugar, cake, and chocolate craftsmen and women.

The Cake Fair conference boasts over 75 Hands-On Classes & Demonstrations plus the unmatched opportunity to reach a captive audience of passionate professionals and consumers by exhibiting at The Americas Cake & Sugarcraft Fair.
