Kitty Cat

This cute kitty-themed cake was for a special little boy's birthday a couple weeks ago.  It was the first time I'd decorated a cake with a cat face, but I think it was really cute and perfectly in keeping with his party's cat & animal theme.  All the kids were going to get a clip-on tail, so you can see that this cake was the perfect way to celebrate his 4th Birthday!

Cookies 'n Cream II

Just wanted to share this quick little treat with you since I recently posted another cookies 'n cream concoction.  The first was a cake, but this one is a tasty bark made of white chocolate and lots of crushed up Oreos.  I served this at a party I hosted recently and it was almost all gone by the end of the night!

"Hostess" Cupcakes

In honor of Valentine's Day I wanted to share a special treat that reminds me of the simpler days of my childhood.  These "Hostess"-style cupcakes were made of moist chocolate cupcake, marshmallow creme filling, rich chocolate ganache, and that signature swirl on top - except in pink in honor of V-Day, naturally.

I'd made elements of these cupcakes before, but never put them together.  I don't know what took me so long... because they were delicious!  And I do think the little pink swirl on top is extra cute and makes this a special treat for Valentine's Day... or any other day really.  I will definitely be making these again!

Cookies 'n Cream

This is a cute little 6" cookies 'n cream cake I made recently for a friend's birthday.  The smaller size is just perfect for a small gathering, and there were lots of Oreo cookie pieces in the moist vanilla cake and also stuffed in the filling between the cake layers.  I didn't get a picture of the inside, but I heard that the birthday girl was very pleased! : )

German Chocolate Cupcakes

I don't like coconut, or pecans (in desserts).  So it was a real stretch for me to make these cupcakes.  But as you know, I do aim to please! : )  So I made these special cupcakes for a coworker's birthday a couple weeks ago.  I have to admit.... even I thought they were pretty good - and I don't even like coconut!  But they'd be a sure winner if that's your kind of thing. : )  The chocolate cake is super moist, and the frosting is FULL of sweetened coconut and pecans.

Ducky

I thought this cake was absolutely adorable!  Little Amelia was celebrating her 1st Birthday a couple weeks ago, and her parents commissioned me to make a cake for the large party they were hosting for her very special day.  Apparently, she dressed up as a duck for Halloween this past year (how cute!), and she likes ducks in general, so we incorporated that into the cake.  I put some clear sparkles on the duck just to give it a little kick, and I just think it's super cute!
