I sent this cake home to my Dad (who already belongs to another woman, but whatever) in honor of his new set of bees – 11,000 of them, to be exact. I am afraid of all those bees but it’s nice that there will be fresh honey in the future!
I made a cake this week for my good friend’s baby shower – Junia is the baby on the way! The shower had a garden theme with bees and ladybugs, so that’s what I piped. This is a white cake with sliced strawberry filling and buttercream icing. Fresh strawberries are great in [...]
These are some cupcakes for my husband to take to work, bearing his company logo. I believe baked goods are great for morale!
After making several large cakes, I was left with a good quantity of chocolate cake batter, chocolate icing, and white icing. So I made these replicas of Hostess cupcakes. Injecting icing is harder than it looks, you need to inject with a good bit of power to get the icing to expand inside, [...]

This is from last year. But I didn’t make a superbowl cake in 06 or 07, so I thought to put this one in.
This is a quick and easy 3 layer chocolate cake with dense fudge frosting. Adding unsweetened chocolate to the icing makes all the difference when it comes to richness. The limes add a bit of spunk and I love the green and brown color combination. Yellow and brown is so last year.
I made this cake for a coworkers baby shower. It is supposed to be a baby blanket (if you can’t tell, that’s bad). But I was asked at the last minute and didn’t have a lot of time – so the edges are a bit sloppy and rounded. Each decorater is their [...]
