Polka Dots

I love how this cake turned out.  It is simple but so fun that it is perfect for all ages.  This is a white butter cake covered in fondant with fondant accents.

Rocket Cake

Almost everything on this cake is edible.  The rocket is sculpted out of rice krispies and covered in gumpaste and fondant.  This happens to be a chocolate cake with a coordinating chocolate cupcake, both iced in chocolate.

Princess Cake Cake Revisited

I was  lucky enough to make another castle cake for a lucky first birthday.  I love first birthdays even though I know they won't remember anything.  There is just something so special about them.  Both tiers are confetti cake filled with buttercream.  I love how the sugar-coated turret pop and add so much.

Peanut Butter Cupcakes

I wish that the picture did this cupcake justice.  We had a family reunion to go to and I wanted to try something new.  There is nothing like trying a new recipe on strangers!  It is a chocolate cupcake with peanut butter filling and peanut butter frosting. The peanut butter frosting stays soft and creamy.  My husband liked it so much it scooped some into a bowl and ate it with a spoon.  Pretty soon he was putting it on graham crackers, cake, and declared the recipe a keeper.  That means a lot coming from him! 

I topped it with a hand piped chocolate G for our last name.  We originally had them standing up, but with the high temperatures outside (and we will be outside), we laid them down instead. I like them a lot better standing up but sometimes we have to sacrifice in the name of practicality. 

My Next Project

Anybody who knows me knows how much I adore cupcakes and I love that they are "in style" right now.  I had asked for these cupcake stands for Christmas last year and didn't get them, but I'm going to get them this year!  They make a beautiful display and cupcakes are so much easier than somebody behind a serving table trying to cut cake and make it look presentable all night.  The top is still large enough to place a cake on for the couple to cut and save if they wish.   These are some that a friend in Ohio has done.  I love it!!

Chocolate Chip Cookies

I wish that I could take the credit for finding this chocolate chip cookie recipe, but I can't.  My little brother shared it with me and I haven't looked back.  They are super soft and melt in your mouth and I have been told they are the best cookies that some have ever had.  These were made for a family reunion with two cookies in each food-safe bag, tied with a soft pink ribbon--the favorite color of the matriarch of the family.
