Baseball Icecream Cake




This baseball cake is actually a chocolate cake shell filled with vanilla and chocolate ice cream. As frosting I made a combination of whipped cream cheese and whipped heavy cream. The frosting freezes, but thaws fairly fast and softens while the cake comes up to temperature.

Cupcakes for the summer








We lately had a lot of "year end" parties and what better to celebrate with than cupcakes. I have been experimenting with multicolored frosting and so far I like it. Kids love it, moms are suspicious of the intense color, but it is just the same old food coloring, just a lot of it. You have probably noticed, that pastel is not much of my color scheme.
Then we have my attempt of baseballs and last, but not least a version of Smores cupcakes. I put graham cracker crumbs and cinnamon in the bottom, a mild milk chocolate dough on top and the frosting is 7-minute marshmallow frosting, that I torched to give it that nice scorched flavor.
