Chocolate Praline Cake

Hello Sweet Readers!
I went to a dental appointment last week and my hygienist recommended this cake. It's a chocolate praline cake. Sounded great so I gave it a whirl. It was tasty, but as a frosting gal, the addition of just a bit of sweetened whipped cream just didn't do it for me. Now, if you want to just eat the cake for breakfast, by all means, this is your go to, but for a die hard like myself, bring on the thick frosting...even over the pralines! I know some of you are stronger than I and can actually eat a cake without buttercream of some sort. More power to you - you would love this one, I'm sure! Happy Baking!

Begonia Cupcakes

Oh, Happy Springtime!

I made these for an order a couple weeks ago and am just now getting around to sharing them with you. They are dark chocolate cupcakes filled with caramel and ganache and frosted with a "begonia" flower pattern.

Have a great weekend!

Butterfly Birthday

I love giving cupcakes! Here's one that I gave to a friend last week for her birthday. I love how the little homemade candy butterfly happened to match the butterfly on the ribbon! So fun.

Have a great week, sweet readers!

A Sweet Single

I just had to show you this pretty little cupcake stand I purchased over the weekend. OK, it's not really a cupcake stand, but when I saw it, I knew that was what it had to be. So perfect to showcase one beautiful single cupcake! This is the one I made for my friend's daughter. I was playing with making fondant flowers for her and this is my first one! Yeah! The cupcake is filled with caramel and topped with rich chocolate buttercream and the oh, so pretty flower. I gave it to her in the box in the previous post. Didn't think a six year old would need the cupcake stand. Don't you just love the display (even though the photo is not the best)?

I have some really fun things planned for this week's treats and orders. I hope to share them with you soon!
