In honor...

of Twilight!

of Samoa Girl Scout cookies!

(chocolate w/coconut cake and caramel frosting)

Cupcake anyone?

As gifts to friends I decided to give cupcakes! Who doesn't love cupcakes? I even baked them on National Cupcake Day, but just getting to posting them now. I baked most the day and came out with 4 fab flavors.
*Orange Chocolate Chip with Chocolate buttercream, with white chocolate drizzle
*Carrot with white chocolate cream cheese frosting
*Coconut with Vanilla buttercream & topped with more coconut
*Chocolate with Chocolate buttercream, filled with mint chocolate ganache, topped with crushed candy cane
I baked over 100 cupcakes and loved doing every bit of it. The girls helped frost and sprinkle them too. I hope all recipients enjoyed them as much as I loved baking them!

The best cupcakes!

In honor of my bro's birthday, I made him some yummy cupcakes to celebrate! Chocolate chip cookie dough cupcakes to be exact and they were good! I ended up just making the cookie dough (with some oatmeal) instead of buying store-bought due to Little A's allergy. Happy birthday!

A new tip.

I bought a new tip for my cake decorating repertoire and had to put it to good use.

Banana cupcake frosted with chocolate buttercream (had to use up the ripe bananas on my counter!)


Milk chocolate cupcake frosted with vanilla buttercream & fondant flowers (not the best looking flowers, but hey..I'm learning)
