Red Velvet Cake

Sunday after the downtown Christmas parade I decided to attempt to make Red Velvet Cake. It was a pretty tricky cake (especially when I forgot to buy self-rising flour!). It didn't look all that pretty and was a little dense but it tasted great! I used ALL of my red liquid food colouring PLUS a ton of my gel food colouring and it still wasn't as red as I expected! I definitely want to try the recipe again - with the right kind of flour :)

Lemon Cream Cheese Cupcakes

Curtis wanted me to make him something "lemony and creamy" = Lemon Cream Cheese Cupcakes! They were SO yummy. I found this recipe on the Kraft website ...yes, I did cheat a little and it wasn't entirely made from scratch BUT they tasted so good!

Cupcake Pops!

I want to make cake pops for Mia's 1st birthday!

Renee's Baby Shower

Here are a few pics of the cupcakes and mini cake I made for my sister-in-law's baby shower today. My first time ever making a cake with fondant! Not too shabby for my first time! I definitely want to keep practicing, so if anyone has an occasion coming up let me know :)

The inside of the mini cake was filled with buttercream and oreos!

The cute zebra never did make it onto the cake... I didn't realize how small my cake pans were at the time!

My cupcake blog!

Yay! Can't wait to post pictures of my cupcakes! I have volunteered to make my beautiful sister-in-law's cupcakes and mini cake for her baby shower this weekend. I will make sure to take pictures of my progress next week :)
