Happy Birthday Papa!

My daughter's cake for her papa, she cut out each letter and star all by herself! She says we're going to own a bakery together someday...when she's not busy being a teacher and doctor! 

Chocolate cake with Oreo buttercream filling

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Merry Christmas!

Dark chocolate cupcakes with a peppermint patty baked into the middle of them with buttercream icing with a hint of peppermint, topped off with half a peppermint patty.  Yum!

King & Country

 This cake was for my father-in-law, the biggest Elvis fan I know!  His birthday is on July 3rd, so I combined his love for the King and his country on his cake.  My daughter and son helped bake the cakes for their Papa, and both recognized Elvis right away!  Happy Birthday Papa!

Happy Easter!

Carrot cake with cream cheese buttercream, yum!

Happy St. Patty's Day!

Happy New Year!

Wishing everyone all the best in 2012!  We started off the new year with something sweet, dark chocolate cake with peanut butter chocolate chip buttercream filling and mocha chocolate buttercream icing.  Here's to hoping 2012 is as sweet as this cake was!

Happy Halloween!

I repurposed the table scape from Colin's Wild Rumpus into a Halloween Extravaganza.  I love Halloween but find that the actual celebration is a little short lived.  The kids are only in their costumes for a couples hours, and at the ages my kids are they are done with the trick-or-treating after a dozen or fewer houses.  So we decided to have a party with our friends and their children the Saturday before.  I made Candy Corn Cupcakes and pumpkin & ghost cookies for the kids to decorate.  We had a lot of fun... it might have to become a yearly tradition!

Never knew a cookie could hold so many toppings!
