Over the hill cake…Nuff said. I love making cakes for these occasions, especially making them fun, entertaining and/or humorous. Getting older is inevitable, so milestone birthdays should be taken with a grain of salt…and a shot of tequila. 😉 Here is the front of the cake. The 40 is made out of white chocolate, andRead More
Daisy Themed Girl Baby Shower
My cousin is pregnant with a baby girl, and the family decided to throw a baby shower for her… And guess who was asked to make the cake? I’d be happy to!! She loved the neapolitan cake I made for Christmas, so she requested the same flavor for her shower. Her sister and I wereRead More
Jumbo Neapolitan Cupcake
Okay, so I had a lot of leftover batter from making a smaller neapolitan cake, and I couldn’t just throw away the batter! So, I put it to good use. Very, very good use. Here’s the end result. Looks simple, like nothing too special, but it’s what’s inside that really makes it count. Want toRead More
Caramel Apple Cupcakes with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Icing
Now that’s a mouthful…literally! These cupcakes combine the flavors of caramel, apple and cinnamon. I was wondering how the cupcakes were going to turn out, telling myself after they came out of the oven, “I should’ve put cinnamon in the batter. Oh well, I’ll put it in the icing this time and see how it turnsRead More
St. Patty’s Day Treats
The green time of year is approaching…And no, I’m not talking about the green grass of the spring and summer, or the green and red for Christmas. St. Patrick’s Day is my favorite green day of the year. Maybe it’s because I have red hair with fair skin, or maybe it’s because I have IrishRead More
Butterfly Fondant Cake
I love this cake. Even though I didn’t make it, taking a picture of it was a necessity. Tracy Kirk made this cake. She used a glass bowl to bake the yellow cake in the oven for the round shape (you can get the same shape using a half ball cake pan). We took theRead More
Chocolate Caramel Delight Cupcakes
There’s a word I could use to describe these cupcakes, and that word is…wow. Just, wow. They just might be my new favorite. When I dumped the caramel cake mix into the bowl before the mixing process, I smelled it. Didn’t smell anything. As in, anything. But, after adding the other ingredients and mixing itRead More
Harry Potter Cake
My sister-in-law is a HUGE Harry Potter fan, so when thinking about what kind of cake to make for her birthday, it hit me like a ton of bricks. Duh! Of course! When I was first working on this cake, I honestly didn’t know if it would make it. Came across several issues while puttingRead More
Sour Apple Cupcakes
Sour apple cupcakes. Yeah, I know what you’re thinking. It’s sparked your curiosity, right? Well, it certainly got mine when I started brainstorming a recipe for these guys. It’s definitely not your “typical” cupcake flavor, but hey…sometimes it’s kinda nice to step out of the box of what’s normal. 😉 The icing also has aRead More
Cinnamon Hazelnut Cupcakes
Well, my husband was actually the one who suggested this flavor, so I thought I would give it a shot…SUCCESS!! The blend of cinnamon, hazelnut and cocoa will be sure to send your taste buds into a frenzy. Oh, and the cinnamon cream cheese icing on top…well, it IS the icing on top of theRead More
