Bridal Shower Cake  

Posted by: Amanda

This double-chocolate raspberry cake was adorned with homemade marshmallow fondant in the bride's wedding colors and a fairy topper bought by the bride's best friend. The cupcakes were white chocolate vanilla with raspberry filling. Professional photos taken by Sarah Buhl, owner of Buhl Photography & Design(http://www.buhlphotography.com/).

I got this recipe from kraftfoods.com, and it turned out to be one of the best breakfasts I've ever made (and tasted)! These little cream cheese clouds were amazing, and pretty too! The details: buttermilk biscuits, cinnamon sugar, butter, and melted cream cheese in the middle. All around - absolutely delicious!


A new use for bananas...  

Posted by: Amanda



Last night, my husband mentioned that we had 3 bananas that had to be used before they turned brown. "Maybe the kids could eat them," he said. Maybe they could, but how boring is that?! The truth is, they did eat the bananas - but in this delicious banana sour cream cake with homemade cream cheese icing, coconut, and cinnamon topping! A whole new use for bananas!

Peanut butter cookies, anyone?

Peanut butter bombs with drizzled chocolate made for an anniversary - the husband's fave!

Ok, ok, so I had one. Or two. But, who could blame me?!

Who likes white chocolate, devil's food, strawberry glaze, and chocolate-covered strawberries? Pretty much everyone, that's who! This cake was made for a family dinner, and it was a huge hit. The details: bottom layer of devil's food cake, top layer of white-chocolate vanilla cake (both filled with white chocolate cream cheese icing and strawberry glaze), covered smoothly with vanilla fondant, drizzled with melted milk chocolate, and topped with fresh chocolate covered strawberries. Cake, anyone?!

Perhaps the best cheesecake ever?

Seriously - this really probably was the BEST cheesecake I've ever tasted! And everyone that helped "clean" the cake pan agreed! The details: half brownie, half cheesecake - all homemade. Milk chocolate and strawberry drizzle on top. 100% delicious, 100% of the time!
