American Flag Cake Surprise

Josh sent me a link to a page for making this flag cake. I wasn't going to make it till next year since I didn't really have a reason, but couldn't help myself and decided to take a stab at it and bring it to the lake for the family to see.

It was fun, but definitely difficult to cut the cakes and layer them neatly. I put them in the fridge like the instructions said to make them easier to cut, but I don't think it really helped. I am going to have to freeze them next time like they do in the cake baking shows.



Boy what a mess this was.

All in all though it did turn out even if it was somewhat of a nightmare to assemble and frost with all the crumbs due to its coming apart. Everyone was delighted and surprised with it. They all had thought that it was just a white frosted cake.

Baking with Love....

I did some more cupcakes, this time for Valentine's Day. I made them to bring to work since I am still sans a Valentine. These were just my idea for design I didn't have a book I was following this time. I liked melting the chocolate to make the hearts on top and will definitely be using this again to do other desserts and such in the future.

Thanksgiving cupcake

So I was overly ambitious this Thanksgiving and thought I could make 24 of these cupcakes. I made only the one. They were very complicated and had too many steps. I was just too busy with school, work, and being sick. Maybe next year if I feel like buying all the supplies over again.

Halloween Cupcakes

I made the cutest Halloween cupcakes. They are little monsters. I love this cupcake book I have it has the cutest ideas in it. These are little green one-eyed monsters and spiky orange monsters. Way easy to make. I am taking them to work tonight.
