Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting

Just really not in a baking mood this week but I had to get these done

I also made a pumpkin pie dip with ginger snaps

Carrot Cupcakes

My friend Beth had a request for carrot cupcakes so here they are.  It's a basic carrot cake recipe with the addition of sweetened coconut, raisins and crushed pineapple.  Some people believe carrot cake should be light and spongy, I am on the site that says it should be dense and chunky.

The frosting is a cream cheese with the addition of a bit of honey and cinnamon.  Garnished with fine sugar.

The recipe yields 24, but I had some extra to make 6 mini loaves.  If any one would like the recipe, just drop me an email.

Happy Halloween

This was a quick batch today.  Marble cake with a chocolare cream cheese frosting.  Hope they are good. :)

Smores again!

This time I made a marshmallow frosting from scratch, thank god for the kitchenaid mixer!  Stiff peaks in 7 minutes!

Graham cracker crust, chocolate cake, toasted marshmallow frosting (i love my torch!)

Two More Birthdays

I'm too tired to add much commentary, busting out 3 double batches really killed me tonight :P

Vanilla "Tye Dye" with Vanilla Buttercream

Peanut Butter Cup - Chocolate with a Reeses cup in the center, Peanut Butter Buttercream

I had some errors, some overflows and trimmings, ran out of supplies, but I kept on pushing...now I am going to die in bed

Repeats are always the best

I had a few bananas left over and I contemplated making bread, but this was a better idea

SmurfDay!

My 5 year old really wanted a Smurf themed birthday, so needless to say, the house will be puked on by blue tomorrow.  In addition to a very large vanilla/strawberry/whipped cream cake being prepared by a bakery, I made some dark chocolate/vanilla bean buttercream SmurfCakes for the kids!

(I've been airbrushing anything I can find, so far we have blue marshmallows and popcorn.)
