An Apple for the Teacher


This apple is a present for our daughter's student teacher who will be leaving her school after tomorrow. I baked the cake in a glass bowl, and when it was not quite done, I pricked it in the center causing it to fall a little in the middle....Andrea

Wedding Cake






















I made this for my sister-in-law's wedding shower. I will be making her wedding cake, so this was kind-of a practice round. Overall I was pretty pleased with it....Andrea

Strawberry Shortcake


I made this as a"cookie cake" for Hannah's half birthday. She can't celebrate her real birthday at school since it is in July, so I arranged with her teacher to celebrate her half birthday. So, on Thursday, January 31st, she will be seven and a half....Andrea

Bear Cupcakes

I made these for my youngest daughter's second birthday. We were having some family over, but still not a big enough group to merit the hugeness of the cakes I tend to create. I saw the idea for making different kind of bears on the Kraft Foods website (I think). So, I think some of them look more "bear-like" than others, but overall they were cute. I made them different flavors since most of the party-goers were adults.
The Brown Bears were chocolate cake with peanut butter inside and chocolate frosting with chocolate mint ears.
The Koala Bears were yellow cake with peanut butter inside and peanut butter frosting and Nilla wafer ears and nose.
The Polar Bears were yellow cake with oreo inside and vanilla frosting and marshmallow ears.
The Panda Bears were chocolate cake with oreo inside and vanilla frosting and oreo eyes and chocolate mint ears....Andrea

Happy Thanksgiving!


My sister and I love Thanksgiving. It's by far my favorite holiday of the year. Tonight I made these turkey cupcakes. The head is a Hersey's kiss. Actually, it's a dark chocolate kiss. I used dark chocolate since my husband really likes it - as a way to thank him for watching our kids while I obsessed over the turkey cupcakes ;-) The wings are a peppermint patty cut in half. The tail is candy corns.


Nothing yummier than a crate full of turkeys! ... Amanda
