I had the honor of making a 1st birthday cake for a friends little girl!!!! It was a fiesta theme and I was so excited!!!!! First, I made some rice krispie treats and molded them into different "fiesta-y" shapes (side note, don't do it while its hot in the pan first) I made a cactus, a chile pepper, and a set of maracas...


After, I covered them in fondant and decorated the cake! The bottom tier was a white cake with chocolate buttercream filling. The top tier was white cake with bavarian cream filling. All covered in marshmallow fondant.



Here's the smash cake for the birthday girl to destroy!



Cupcake fever!

What's better than beer and cake? COMBINING THEM! Corona cupcakes with lime cream cheese frosting! AMAZING! Made them for the 4th of July and had them the next day for a get together with friends.
 


Yesterday, I made a white cupcake and injected bavarian cream in the center after it was done cooking and topped it with homemade chocolate frosting! We had half the batch after dinner and my husband took the other half to work. 




Kind of messy, and next time I'll add more cream
The finished product!



Chocolate + mint = HAPPINESS

OMG I'm SUCH a slacker!!!! ok.. updating the blog NOW, while watching teen mom and drinking a corona (light) annnd GO!!!!

Our good friends birthday was a few weeks ago and his one request was for me to bake for him (and be the DD for the night out) IM SUCH A GOOD FRIEND! ;) I made him Chocolate cupcakes with whipped cream frosting, then melted andes mints and drizzled them on top!! They were sooooo good!
On top I added a Nilla Wafer dipped in chocolate and drizzled with the same mint chocolate 

I had extra batter so I made him a cake as well  
And these are the Nilla wafers (and some Oreos because I had chocolate leftover and felt the need to cover anything edible in my cupboard)
