Good Luck Katie!



This is the "Good Luck Katie" cake. It is quite similar to the Swirly cake. Because I love swirls. The colors were of my choosing and I just love the combination. All of these colors are from Duff from Ace of Cakes. That coloring was such a good investment... Anyway, it's a chocolate cake (I make a lot of chocolate cake, don't I?), with a raspberry filling, and buttercream frosting.

Congratulations


Not my absolute favorite, but I do love the roses! I'm not a huge fan of white cakes, really. This is a red velvet cake. Oh red velvet. You are so delicious. The cake was for an Election party for someone who had run for State Representative. She's amazing, and, she won!

Super-Late Halloween Brownie Monsters


Okay, okay. I know these aren't cupcakes, or even cake, but I loved them. Not my original idea - I found these guys on a different baking website. It's a chocolate brownie, with a peanut butter frosting. The eyes are mini reese's peanut butter cups placed upside down, with white frosting and chocolate chips.

Super-Late Halloween Cupcakes



Here are my super-late Halloween cupcakes. The top ones were an adorable little kit acquired from Joanne's that came with the cupcake wrappers and the little moons/haunted houses with some black and orange sprinkles for good measure - chocolate cupcake with a vanilla frosting. The bottom ones were vanilla with vanilla frosting with adorable little bone sprinkles. For the frosting for both I used Duff's (from the Ace of Cakes!) coloring.

Adorable-ness in Cupcake Form



These were created for Thanksgiving, because I came to the conclusion that there was no good way to create a cute Thanksgiving-themed cupcake. So I decided just to go with something pretty, instead. They came out so much differently than I had pictured in my head when I began making them, but I loved the end result all the same. Chocolate cupcake, buttercream frosting, pearlesque sprinkes.

Gingerbread People.



Why, hello, cute and adorable gingerbread people. These cute and adorable gingerbread people sit on top of a gingerbread cupcake with a lovely cinnamon frosting that I have been eating by spoon. And of course, some lovely sprinkles just for some atmosphere. I think they really add something... Also, I love sprinkles.
