The lemoncello and ginger experiment

24 January 2012

I discovered that BevMo sells little airline sized bottles of liquor. As such it is now much less expensive for me to experiment with different flavors and alcohol. Woohoo! First up was a lemoncello cake with a ginger liqour frosting and a lemon pudding filling. And just for fun, I made some ...

Now these cakes have… balls. Really!

14 January 2012

I was recently commissioned to create a birthday cake for a friend who happened to be having his party at a pool hall. I’ve wanted to get more comfortable with carving, so figured this was a great chance to try something different. The cake is supposed to suggest a pool table, unfortunately I ...

Happy New Cookie Year!

03 January 2012

For new year’s I thought I’d be a rebel, a wild child, a down right crazy person and not bake a cake or cupcakes. I know… the insanity! Instead, I baked some apple hard cider snickerdoodles. The apple slices look either like a half moon or a smile. Sure, that was on purpose… ...

December Birthdays in Review

29 December 2011

It’s December!!! You know what that means? Time to get out the wrapping paper and ribbon, find that funny or sweet card because…. IT’S BIRTHDAY SEASON (part 2. part 1 is October). I hear there’s this other “holiday” around December 25th, but it isn’t nearly ...

Go ahead cake. Make my day.

29 December 2011

I recently had the opportunity to make a cake for a co-worker of mine who is off to pursue his next great adventure. Now what to make. I opted for a butterny nipple cake, because I’ve been wanting to make one for awhile, but then came the really tough question: what to put on it?! ...

Candycane cake experiment

06 December 2011

It’s the holiday season!!!! Which for me is an excuse to bake like a maniac. A tasty maniac. First up, had some family over for dinner and wanted to use a cake plate that was given to me by one of the family members… not usually how I start the process for “What should I ...

Happy Mummy Halloween

31 October 2011

For halloween this year I didn’t have the amount of time I’d have liked to make some fun treats. Halloween is my favorite holiday of the year, so I don’t just want to “Bake something”. I want it to be nifty and fun and result in “oohs” and ...

We have a customer!

27 October 2011

A friend of mine “commissioned” me for two-dozen car bomb cupcakes! (That’s how she asked for them – and there’s something about “commissioned” that just makes me smile) It’s my first paid for baked good!!!! As a result, I put together a temporary ...

It’s my birthday and I’ll bake if I want to

04 October 2011

For my birthday this year I decided to try making a cake of whatever flavor I wanted, and whatever shape. Since I’m making it for fun and not for someone else, I’m willing to let it slide if it’s not perfect (or as close to perfect as I can get without spending a few hundred ...

You know you’re old when…

28 September 2011

you get a kid’s cake for your birthday!! A very wonderful man turned 70. He happens to love watching spongebob square pants. Which in my mind meant one thing – A SPONGEBOB CAKE!!! Sorry…. got a little excited there. I have to admit I enjoy the cartoon myself and have been looking ...
