A Chocolate Birthday Wish

My Dad loves chocolate, so for his birthday I decided to make him a cake, a chocolate cake! This cake is a chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream icing and chocolate ganache on top. If I do say so myself this cake was awesome good! I did learn one lesson...a little ganache goes a LONG way, so it spread all over the place...good thing it was yummy :)

Cupcakes!

I like trying out new recipe's on cupcakes, they are just a little easier and quicker to make. I have been wanting to try a banana pudding cupcake for forever so I finally gave it a shot and we LOVED it! It was a yellow cake with a vanilla cream filling and a banana buttercream icing, topped with crushed nilla waffers. So light and yummy, I will definitely be making this one again!

Also did Transformers cupcakes. My boys LOVE Transformers, and we were having a playdate with some of their friends, so I decided to make them some cupcakes! The cake is a yellow cake and the icing is buttercream. Its hard to tell in picture's but the icing is actually blue and grey swirled together. The toppers are just some candy decorations I got on sale at Michael's.
