cake balls!

Friday, August 28, 2009

No.. they aren’t truffles, nor are they chocolate covered cherries. They are the newest fad in cake making. Tiny, chocolate or candy covered bite-sized cake pieces! I’ve known about these little desserts for awhile, but never thought anything of them. Turns out, the cupcake fad is deteriorating as quickly as it started and cake balls […]

Saw a link for “nerdy cupcakes” and thought of my boyfriend – who BTW loves Lego’s. The possibilities are endless!

holy cake…

Wednesday, August 26, 2009

A friend sent me a link to this cake on digg.com and it has to be one of the coolest cakes I’ve seen lately. This cake wouldn’t be hard to make… just time consuming. Nonetheless, it is one of those cakes that I just had to stare at in awe for a little while.

throwback #2

Wednesday, August 26, 2009

I was organizing my pictures the other day and came across a cake I made last summer. It was a request to imitate a peruvian cake. Apparently they make a cake that has several layers of chocolate with a caramel filling… covered in chocolate frosting and dusted with coconut pieces. I did my best and this […]

happy friday

Friday, August 21, 2009

One thing that made me happy today (other than the fact that it is Friday) is the post about these cupcakes. As you already know, I love crumbs and doilies blog. Here are cupcakes they did for a green, gold, and cream wedding. When I think of these colors, I think of leprechauns, but these […]

Thursday, August 20, 2009

Here’s a cake I did two … three years ago. I was pretty impressed with myself at the time… The cake was chocolate and vanilla marble with buttercream icing. At the time, I hadn’t mastered a buttercream recipe so I just bought several cups of it from a bakery down the street. The cap and […]

simple and elegant #1

Wednesday, August 19, 2009

I found this cake on projectwedding.com and it further supports my theory that the more simple cakes are – the more elegant they look. And they probably taste better too!

love, love, LOVE crumbs and doilies

Tuesday, August 11, 2009

Crumbs and Doilies has to be one of my favorite websites/blogs. They are a cupcakery in London but they aren’t like the run of the mill cupcake shop here in the states. They are very creative. Maybe I’m obsessed with the multitude of sprinkles they use – I don’t know, but I love logging in […]

meringue flowers

Thursday, August 6, 2009

Martha Stewart posted a “chrysanthemum cupcake” recipe on her website and I LOVE them! So I am going to try it out… … but instead of regular icing, I’m going to try to make them out of meringue. If you’ve ever had a yule log dessert with the meringue mushrooms – you know what I’m […]
