Ocean / Bubblegum

I love getting orders from this family. They have fun requests. This request: bubble gum icing, seahorse and dolphin. I wanted to add in another bubble gum element, so when they cut into the cake, gumballs will come pouring out from the center! I love everything ocean, so this cake was extra exciting to make.

PJ Mask

I'll be honest, I have only heard of PJ Masks once in my life. My nephew likes it and that was the theme of his birthday party last year. I had to do a little research to know what the show was all about. I had such a good time making this cake. The marbled fondant for the night sky was my favorite part.

I'm Melting

I've made these cupcakes for a few years in a row to celebrate Halloween. They are so tasty and fun. A super chocolaty cupcake, marshmallow frosting that is to die for, and a fun, green, white chocolate ganache. The recipes and idea comes from the Six Sisters, who I absolutely love and follow just about everything they do. Their savory and sweet recipes never fail to satisfy my family.

Giant Cupcake

I've been itching to make a giant cupcake cake for years! This was so much fun. Who isn't delighted by a sprinkled-topped, massive cupcake? I had tried baking one before with one of my go-to favorite recipes, but it was an epic failure, so I tried a "pound cake" version this time. It was fabulous. Dense Cake for Giant Cupcake 1 boxed cake mix 4 eggs 1 1/4 cup milk 1 sm box of instant pudding large dollop of greek yogurt or sour cream 1 tsp vanilla extract Mix together. Bake at 325 degrees for about an hour, watching closely. The outside is melted chocolate. I was so intimidated to do it that way, absolutely sure it would just end up a mess, but miraculously, it was terrific.

Horse Cake

I LOVE this animal cake trend: Unicorns, horses, etc. I could make them everyday and still get excited about how fun they come together. My daughter was extra excited to see the results of this cake because she loves horses and it was for her cute little friends 3rd birthday!

Donut Cake

I can smell this cake now! Both the smash cake and the huge sheet cake were strawberry. It smelt delightful. These were for a one year old birthday party. Donut themed. How cute is that theme?

Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake

I love Sally's Baking Addiction. She has adorable ideas and delightful recipes. She also does monthly challenges. I always assumed the challenges were for herself, but I took the time to actually read her post a few months ago and they challenges are for her blog followers. It's a fun excuse to bake fun treats. This Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake was the challenge for Augusts. It was fun to make, but was exactly like a cookie... I'm not sure that's my favorite combo, but it may be someone else's favorite.
