The Treasure Chest Cake

I made this cake for a church event where the theme was "treasures of the heart". I was extremely nervous, but it turned out really well. It's just chocolate cake with buttercream frosting for the base, then for the top I did rice krispie treats for the people who didn't want chocolate. The straps and "metal" pieces are all fondant.





The Logan's 1st Birthday Cake

I made this for my son's first birthday. The animals are all hand made out of fondant. Once again, my colors bled together a bit. Should have waited to pipe until right before, but there was too much going on.

The Valentine's Day Owl Cupcakes

These were the winners! Unfortunately, I didn't realize that fondant bleeds on this whipped cream frosting recipe. So the color bled a little bit.





The Heart Cupcakes

I was experimenting with ideas for a Valentine's Day cupcake order for 4 dozen cupcakes. This was not the winner, but they were delicious. The cake was a rich, dense chocolate chip chocolate cupcake with a chocolate whipped cream frosting with a chocolate heart on top.

The 25th Birthday Cupcakes





I am offically 25 years old. These are the cupcakes I made for myself.

The Ding Dongs

So I've been experimenting with new recipes/desserts lately. It's not exactly a well decorated cupcake, but I made homemade ding dongs. This was my first time filling a cupcake. They turned out absolutely delicious. Maybe this will give new meaning to "ding dong ditching". You've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?

The Halloween Cupcakes 2

I made these for the annual Weber Family Halloween Party. I made them last year too, and a lot of them were the same or similar.







This one isn't the best picture, it's a brain. It didn't capture the detail very well unfortunately.

The Bat Cake

So this was a lemon buttercream. Very tasty, but when I put the black food coloring in, it reacted with the lemon juice in the frosting and turned green. So we have a green bat :)

The Cookie Cupcakes

I have to give credit where credit is due ... Thank you Rachel for the idea to put cookie dough in my cupcakes. The cupcake decoration is nothing to write home about, but the cupcake itself and the frosting itself is!

OH MY GOODNESS.

The cupcake is a light chocolate flavor stuffed with a chocolate chip cookie. The frosting is a stabilized chocolate whipped cream frosting (Thank you Alton Brown) that is to DIE for.
