It’s definitely a girly cake. This year she wanted to have a layer of strawberry cake with a layer of chocolate cake. Continue reading “Pink Cake”

Halloweeny Cupcakes
I made some Halloweeny cupcakes for my daughter’s fourth grade class. I have been teaching a weekly class and tomorrow happens to be my last day.

So when the PTSO asked me to donate cupcakes for the teachers to have a treat during the parent/teacher conferences last week, I couldn’t resist. I was so excitedContinue reading “Caramel Apple Cupcakes”
Fourth of July
We are settled here in Utah now. Not sure what we are doing about the business at this point but I’ll keep you posted. It’s similar to living in Colorado to this point.

Heart Pops
What says Happy Valentine’s Day better than red velvet? I say red velvet cake pops shaped into hearts! I had never shaped cake pops into anything other than a cupcake before and was interested in see how the coating would go. I used Wilton’s candy melts in red, pink, and dark chocolate to coat themContinue reading “Heart Pops”
