Ahoy Matey!

The latest creation were these super delicious pirate-themed cupcakes. Each white cupcake had a bit of “buried treasure” inside. The treasure was actually M&Ms, but I think I would dig and eat M&Ms straight out of a sandbox if no one was looking!! Each one is topped with chocolate buttercream and handmade chocolate toppers. Yo-ho-yum!

S’wonderful S’mores, Part 2

Last fall, I posted these super yummy s’mores cupcakes. Those were super delicious, but I think these latest creations are s’more-tacular. Really, can you go wrong with mammoth marshmallow toppings and a hunk o’ chocolate in the middle? Aside from the obvious goodies, what we have here is a graham cracker cupcake with shaved chocolate inside. If that’s not enough to satisfy your sweet tooth, there is a Hershey’s kiss inside each cupcake. Drooling yet?

Bless This Mess

Actually, this cake isn’t a mess at all. I am pretty pleased with how it came out.

My photo skills? Not so much. I’m not sure if it’s my camera or my shaky hand. Speaking of shaky hand, I think my cake penmanship is getting better. Now I need to work on getting it STRAIGHT.

Anyway, this is a 2-layer marble cake with vanilla buttercream. It was a beast, but it came out kind of beautiful.

Thanks Easter Bunny! (bawk bawk)

This Easter basket was filled with goodness. It’s a 3-layer chocolate cake, featuring malted-milk eggs and a chocolate bunny — and you didn’t even have to pick through any grass. I know I’ve probably swallowed a blade or two of Easter grass over the years, while wolfing down jellybeans. This solution was much tastier.

Sunday Morning E-Cakes

For Elizabeth…

Chocolate cupcakes with white buttercream and a pink “E.” Wish I had kept the white a bit more contained, but I wanted to load them up with frosting. Who doesn’t like that? For more pics, check out the GALLERY.

Ice Cream Headache

These were fun to make and eat…

Not so fun to move. I learned my lesson, though. Vanilla cake with pink and purple buttercream and three kinds of toppings: mini M&Ms, pink and white hearts and rainbow sprinkles. For more pics, check out the GALLERY.

Here is today’s Birthday Wishes cake…

I didn’t smooth out the top totally because I thought it worked on this cake. I am sure the kids will eat it in two seconds though. For more pics, check out the GALLERY.

Happy birthday Matthew!

The birthday boy (and his family) was very pleased. How can you not be with so many candy corn-styled treats? See other satisfied customers in the GALLERY.
