Gimmie S'more

My friend Lauren and I share one major thing in common... our LOVE for chocolate! We have spent many weekends and nights together feasting on sweets while our men were off hunting, fishing, or just being weird together. You see, Phil and Brian are best friends... that leaves plenty of quality time for me and Lauren!

For her 28th birthday, I made Lauren these AMAZING S'mores cupcakes... Chocolate Cupcakes with Marshmallow Frosting topped with Hershey's Bars and Graham Crackers. I can't think of anything more delicious!

Cookies-n-Cream Madness

I had a chocolate cake for almost every birthday party while growing up... it's what I always requested and it's what I still prefer! For my friend Kerra's 30th birthday, I made her this special Chocolate Cake with Fudge Frosting and Cookies-n-Cream Filling. WOW! The filling was so delicious... but then again, I am an OREO addict so I may be partial.


Look at that delicious filling! Yumm!

Birthday Ninja Turtle

My brother is a crazy, funny, outgoing guy. When we were kids, we used to pretend to be the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (I always wanted to be Leonardo but my brother made me be Splinter.) and we'd run around the house until it drove mom nuts.

On my big bro's 27th birthday, I made him this Ninja Turtle Homemade Funfetti Cake with Buttercream frosting. He almost fell on the floor laughing when he saw it.

Happy First Birthday!

One year. So much can happen in a year. In this past year, I have watched a little baby grow into a big girl... walking, talking, laughing and playing with my cell phone. I was so excited when I found out our best friends, Phil & Lauren were having a girl... but I had no idea just how much I would fall in love with her.

I know that I will be making Raigan's birthday cakes for... well, every birthday she ever has! I was escited to make her first birthday cake using one of my favorite recipes, Fresh Banana Cake. For the adults at the party, I brought Chocolate and Vanilla Cupcakes with Buttercream Frosting and a Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake.

That precious little thing ate more cake than a grown man in a hot dog eating contest. It was so much fun to watch! LOVE IT!

Bridal Showers and Birthdays

I was happy to make this two-tier Chocolate Cake with Buttercream Frosting for Heather's Bridal Shower. Everyone loved it and there wasn't much leftover at the end of the party!

Party in the park? Great... as long as there's cake! I made these cute "H" cakes for a little girl named Hannah on her first birthday. Shown below are Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake and a Fresh Banana Cake with Buttercream Frosting,

Here is the adorable birthday girl as she carefully digs her way into that Banana cake!
