mmm... CUPCAKES!

Well first off I wanted to say Farewell to my friend Lianna who is going on a mission for the LDS church. You will do great my friend. See you in a year and a half! I love you :)

These Cupcakes were for her. She wanted me to make her cake, and since she cant eat cake, I put a load of frosting on top. It was a lot of fun making these and very easy. Everything is edible on these. The flowers are made out of gumpaste which is just tons of sugar. They were a big hit! Definately one of my favorite editions to my blog.

Starting tomorrow and every monday, I am taking a cake decorating class so hopefully everyone will be able to see my progression on the things I actually learn how to make, not just make them up myself. haha

Coffee-Cake

Rasberry Almond Cream Cheese Coffee Cake... say that 10 times fast. hahaha well this cake recipe was found in the calendar that i had recieved for my birthday. It gives a different recipe for each month. This cake is for my family this time. They always give me a hard time for giving away all the cakes I make to everyone else. So I wanted to do something nice for them. I hope they like it. I ran out of a few things to make this, but I substituted those items with something else. haha I was a little nervous how it would come out so I guess we will just have to wait and see when they take their first bite. I picked at it somewhat and from my taste buds, its gooood! haha

Dirt Cake

Chocolate dirt and sour worms makes for a delicious cake. I placed it in a flower pot and served it with a digging shovel.

Can You Say CHOCOLATE?

Happy almost Valentines Day! I had a good time making this cake after messing up the first time. haha I guess all the great bakers go through times of trial and error until they get it right... right? This is a yellow butter cake with fudge frosting. Chocolate covered strawberries with a chocolate wall. A girls best friend is chocolate... well atleast mine is. I cannot wait to dig into this one.
