Cookies-n-Cream Cake







Here we have a white chocolate cake with a cookies and cream filling. The groom really likes the Hershey's Cookies-n-Cream bars, so this cake was very fitting. The top and the bottom layer are white chocolate, the middle is a regular chocolate cake.
After I finished the cake and took the pictures, I realized I had forgotten to put on half of the flowers. So back into the kitchen we went to add more flowers. Unfortunately I forgot my camera for the Wedding. The cake looked great on the table with a quilt in purple and sage.

My Little Pony Cake


Amelia decided she wanted a "My Little Pony Cake" for her birthday (okay, there was some probing from me). The pony baking pan was made by Wilton until the early 1990s and has not been made since. So it was very lucky that a friend of mine has one and I was able to borrow it. The cake is our regular triple chocolate cake with my cream cheese frosting.

Guinness Cupcakes


In honor of St. Patricks Day I made a Guinness-chocolate cupcake with Guinness buttercream. The cupcakes contain besides Guinness and chocolate a lot of molasses and spices. The buttercream is an Italian meringue buttercream infused with Guinness.

Fairy Land Cake







Instead of the regular princess cake I made a Fairy Land Cake for Amelia's friend Alex. It is actually surprising that it took so long for this theme to appear considering fairies have been ruling my world for nearly a year now. The yellow cupcakes made a great base and the chocolate castle is always a hit. Instead of digging a mot I made a jello pond. A few flowers and ladybugs and off course (edible) glitter finished everything. The kids loved it.

More Cupcakes







It is chocolate and cupcake season. We made some half chocolate-half vanilla cupcakes for my daughters classroom. It is always hard for kids to decide, what they want, so I tried to make it a little easier.
And another one of my friends had a baby shower, so I got to make some more baby chocolate pieces. Well, it works for girls colors, too, as you can see.

Circus Cake







This cake is for a little girl who likes horses. Her mom found this set of circus horses, so we made a circus. The horses are galloping in graham cracker crumbs.

New Years Cupcakes






For New Years Eve I made cupcakes for a party. I love to get whimsical. And you can try something new with every cupcake!
