just another cake

I just had some fun and got creative with this cake. It was a new flavor- lemon-strawberry and white. The lemon-strawberry cake was really good and a little different. I can't wait to try to make even more unique flavors soon!

My Dogs Get Birthday Cake, Too

This cake is human and animal friendly! I made it for my dog, Sanders' third birthday. It was iced with peanut butter and decorated with animal crackers. My nephew and I enjoyed it as much as my dogs. It was quite delicious.

Heart Cake Pops

I made these cake pops with my friend, Briana. We had a lot of fun and learned a lot about the process, which doesn't always go as planned. We did learn that disco glitter it the coolest thing ever when it comes to baking. The blue and green cake pops are covered in it, and the other one with a glitter that is definitely not as cool. And yes, they are standing in egg cartons, which are actually are pretty convenient.

A Random Cake that I Created

This was just a random cake I made. I had an extra layer of homemade chocolate cake and left-over fondant and icing, so I had fun finding a way to use it up. I gave it to my sister, who is a nurse and had to work this Easter, to share with her coworkers. Nurse appreciation :)

New Year's Cupcakes

These cupcakes took forever to make! But they were definitely worth it. They were really delicious as well as adorable. Some have the ball dropping and others are a clock at midnight. We made the ball out of rice crispies covered in white chocolate and edilbe glitter. The clocks were vanilla wafer cookies covered in white fondant. The confetti lying on the icing was also fondant. Instead of a typical vanilla icing, we substituted almond extract for vanilla. Quite delicious.

Flashback

This cake was made for me by my neighbor for my sixteenth birthday and remains in my memory and the coolest and tastiest cake ever. One tier was red velvet, another strawberry (with fresh strawberries and cream) and the other was marble. It was awesome. And it is partly the reason why I love to bake so much; I want to be able to make someone else to appreciate something the way I did for the cake I was given.

My first cake!

I finally got a blog, which I have been trying to do for a couple months now. I love to bake all kinds of desserts and I have wanted to share them because there's no point in making anything if nobody can see it. Tonight was my dad's 50th birthday get-together. I made a three-layer Neapolitan cake (strawberry and chocolate cake, vanilla frosting), my first one! (I have been making cake pops, cupcakes, and whoopie pies). I covered it in fondant and decorated it with an Ironman theme on the side. There is a swimmer, biker, and runner.
