What fun,

Susie

 All of the supplies.

 Only got 17 cupcakes from the cake mix. I make them BIG. LOL. I use an ice cream scoop full to put the batter in the paper cups.

Sprinkles, colored butter cream (Light blue, medium blue, orange, red, black, gray, brown, white and green. ) 

Fondant to make shapes, decorating tips, book, and icing bags.

I was asked to make a boob cake:

My sister in law Tammy asked me to make a BOOB cake for my brother in laws 50th birthday. I didn't have a clue how to do it. Some use small bowls but I didn't have any the right size and I've heard they can blow up in the oven SO I used my puffed heart cake pan.

I think it turned out pretty good. He loved it so that's what counts. :)

I made my 56th Birthday Cake and Cupcakes!

Hey, hey, hey! It's my 56th birthday today and my twins too. Happy Birthday Sharon!

I love making icing and decorating cakes so I always make my own birthday cake.

Here is what I came up with. It is a Golden Vanilla Cake with Wedding Bouquet/Vanilla flavored Buttercream colored a very pale lavender. I have a pink filling in it but I haven't got a photo yet because we won't be cutting into it until later tonight. :)

I got the silicone cupcake pan from Ron, Erica and Drew for Christmas. Had to finally try it out. :)

Enjoy the rest of your week,

Cake I made for my grandson Drew's 9th birthday.

My grandson Drew's birthday was on Thursday. He was at Enchanted Forest Water Safari at Old Forge NY for his birthday. He is now here and we are going to have a Chicken Alfredo supper for him and the cake I made.

Here it is and click to enlarge:

 I can't wait to dig in!
UPDATE: IT TASTED AWESOME! 

:)
Enjoy your weekend.

Chocolate Cupcakes with Vanilla/Almond Icing.

Just playing again today with icing. These are some chocolate cupcakes I had in the freezer. I made two dozen and I take a few at a time. :) The icing is Vanilla/Almond. YUM.

Chocolate Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Frosting!

I love to play with icing so I took 6 chocolate cupcakes from the freezer and made some Peanut Butter Frosting.

YUM!

Cake balls with icing flavored with Wedding Bouquet & Vanilla & Butter!

I don't know why I'm baking so much. LOL. 

Well, my daughter in law Erica was bringing my grandson Drew over for a few hours and I know she likes the icing I make with the Wedding Bouquet flavor so I made some cake balls. I also wanted to try some other flavor so I used vanilla and butter flavoring on some.

 OH so tasty.

The swirls on the left are looser than the ones on the right. That is how I knew which flavor was which. Erica knew right off the bat just by smelling. LOL!

Aren't they so very cute?

I used my Nostalgia Electrics Donut Holes Maker. YUMMY!

Susie

My BROWNIE POPS! :o)

Ok, so I never said I was too bright. I made these brownie pops and didn't cut off the harder outside ridge so the inside of the pops have a little character to them once in a while. LOL. Still tasty though. 

Now to get rid of them so I don't eat them all. :)

Teddy Bear Cake Pops

I took he strawberry cake I made yesterday and make Teddy Bear Cake Pops. 

 Goofy eh?

 Is that where the tail goes???? LOL!

 I had to try one. :) YUM!

I'm not sure they look like Teddy Bears. :)

 Cute little butts eh?

 All bagged and ready to go.

Hope they don't melt. It's starting to get warm in here. :)

#8 Transitional Rye Hearth Meteil and other baking! :o)

 Here is my try at the Transitional Rye Hearth Meteil Bread. It is a VERY tasty bread.

 I have never tried a bread recipe that had both RYE and WHEAT together. I love it.

It is a cool wet day here in northern NY so I decided to do some baking and freeze some and give some away. 

White Cupcakes are to give some to a friend and to keep some. Strawberry cake is for cake pops for some family members and to freeze some. The Chocolate Book cake is to freeze for playtime on a hot day and of course the loaf of bread. :)

YEHA!

Cake balls using a donut hole maker! :o)

I bought a little gadget from www.walmart.com and picked it up last week at the store. It is the Nostalgia Electrics JFD-100 Donut Holes Maker.  Yes, I made cake balls.  It comes with a little injector so you can fill them.

I used a cup of sugar free chocolate cake mix and just added a 1/2 a cup of diet mountain dew. They baked for 6 minutes. :) As you can see it cooks 7 at a time and it used all of the cake batter I mixed up. 

 These are pretty good sized cake balls.

You can make donuts, muffins, brownie bites, and of course cake balls. :)

YUM. I had to try one. :)

Playtime cupcakes!

 I just felt like icing some cupcakes today. I had the oven going for a loaf of bread and thought why not. :)

This is just a yellow cake mix with Icing flavored with Wedding Bouquet. :)

YUM.

Susie

My first try at Cake Pops! :)

I am WAY behind on the 'thing' that has been hot for a few years, which is cake balls and pops.

 The cake I made was Red Velvet with Cream Cheese Frosting added to it. I found it very moist BEFORE I added the Frosting.

 Here is a close up! 

I used Candy Melts from Wilton but I think I would like REAL chocolate much better.

 They are VERY sweet. One is all I could handle. LOL. I actually think the texture is a little too mushy and next time I think I will use the cake dry without the added frosting and cut out my shapes. :)

New adventure for sure. 

HAPPY 4th Of July everyone,

Susie

ELMO cake for my grandson Mason's 2nd birthday!

I haven't decorated a cake since Mason's last birthday. It went pretty good. 

He knew it was Elmo so that's a good thing.

YUM.

My 55th Birthday Manicure! :o)

Yes, today is my 55th birthday and it is my twins birthday too. Happy Birthday Sharon. :)

This is Revlon "Gum Drop"! I have used it before and love it. 

The application is three coats. It is rather thin and hard to apply but I love the color.

This is plate BM14 using Konad Polish Violet Pearl.

I made these earlier this morning. 

Don't you just love the light lavender color? 

What can I say? They were too good to wait. :)
