Peanut Butter Cake Truffles

I've finally figured out what to do with all those cake scraps - cake truffles (also lovingly known as cake balls). Here are some cake truffles that I made for the last meeting of our Jr. High Bible Study for the Summer. They are made out of white cake, a little bit of creamy peanut butter, some buttercream icing, dipped in chocolate and decorated. Yum!

Just for Fun Cupcakes

Since I have been gone for a few weeks and cake orders in the summer have slowed down, I was itching to bake! So I use my Jr. High girls, that I work with at church, as motivation to get the powdered sugar flowing. My house was this week's place for our Bible study so I wanted to give cupcakes a whirl.

I made confetti cupcakes with French vanilla cake batter and colored sugar sprinkles. The icing is regular buttercream tinted a "oh so girly" pink with edible shimmer, and a fondant flower to top it off. I thought they turned out pretty cute for a last minute, thrown together dessert and they were pretty tasty too!

40th Wedding Anniversary Cake


This weekend was my parent's 40th wedding anniversary! Dad wanted to surprise mom with a fun party with friends and family - so he called me early in the week and asked me, "can you just build me a cake?" He didn't care what was on it or what it looked like so I took this opportunity to try some new things!

I have been wanting to try royal icing accents - I made a ton of pieces and almost all of them broke when I tried to attach them to the cake! I learned a lot about what works and what doesn't (mostly what doesn't!)

Bottom tier was white wedding cake with white buttercream filling, middle was yellow cake with raspberry filling, and top was chocolate cake with chocolate filling.
