Pink Cake

My daughter turned 12 this month. She ordered her very favorite strawberry cake with strawberry buttercream. If you haven’t been around here before, you may not know how pink this cake really is. 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. I thought the kids have been so great that they deserved a little treat from me. I made mini cuppies so the teacher wouldn’t have to deal with the sugarContinue reading “Halloweeny Cupcakes”

Chocolate Bacon Almond Bars

Yesterday I attempted a new recipe. My husband made some bacon for me. I typically end up charring the bacon so it’s really his area of expertise ;-)! I melted some dark chocolate in a double boiler and combined it will some heavy cream. Then I folded in some slivered almonds. I poured the mixture into aContinue reading “Chocolate Bacon Almond Bars”

My kids started back to school today. All three of them, all day long! They deserved aContinue reading “Back To School”

Zoo Cake

My son turned 4 on Saturday. He ordered up a “Giraffe Cake”. I asked if it would be ok to make giraffes to put on the cake instead of a big cake that looked like a giraffe and he said, “Yes, and monkeys, and hippos, and tortoises ’cause those are my favorites.” So I wentContinue reading “Zoo Cake”

Cake Pops!

Bakerella really knew what she was doing when she thought to make them into cute shapes. So I attempted to make the cupcake cakeContinue reading “Cake Pops!”

Power Tools

A customer called at the beginning of February to find out if I do power tools for cakes. I answered honestly with a nervous laugh by saying, “No one has asked me to do a power tool before”. She laughed too and said that is the response she has been getting from everyone she’s called. IContinue reading “Power Tools”

Super Bowl

The Super Bowl is on Sunday. Any Steelers fans out there? How about Packers fans? I’ll admit that even though I’m from Pennsylvania, I am a cheesehead! But that’s not what you are here for, right? You’re here to see what’s up for possible goodies to be served on the big game day, right? Well,Continue reading “Super Bowl”

Chocolate Ganache

So if you are a chocolate lover, you would definitely love this cake. It is a chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream icing and chocolate raspberry filling. Oh, and I can’t forget the dark chocolate ganache… A client ordered this cake for her Christmas party this past weekend. I know this cake is decadent because theContinue reading “Chocolate Ganache”

LEGO cake

My daughter is on the robotics team at her school. They built robots out of LEGOs and programmed them to do things. They competed against other robotics teams at UCCS in November. While they didn’t progress to the next level, they did do an awesome job. Tonight was the team’s final meeting. My daughter insisted thatContinue reading “LEGO cake”
