Patriotic Tart

I made this for the 4th of July. I am a little late posting this, but, errr...oh well?

Anyhow. Simple to make...I basically had 1 hour to make something to bring to my friend's house so I just looked in the freezer to see what I could make something out of.

Baby Cupcakes!

If you know me, you know I like miniature versions of normal sized items - baked goods, babies, nail polish bottles...ya know, whatever!

Lemon Pound Cake trials

I have been trying to find a Lemon Pound Cake recipe for what seems like EVER. I don't like a gritty, rough texture and that is what I have always ended up with until now!!!

My brother's birthday was June 22nd & since I was visiting over the 4th of July, I asked him what he wanted - something lemon.

Salted Caramel Brownie Cupcake

My sister needed me to make cupcakes for her work! She wanted something chocolate & caramel. No problem...

I had to load everything I'd need into my car and drive 5+ hours & of course I forgot somethings, or didn't really think about needing them at the time I packed. Slowly, my sister's house is being stocked with random baking tools!

Chocolate Cake w/Salted Caramel Chocolate Frosting

This lovely cake is taken from my favorite book at the moment...Baked. It was a co-worker's last day, so of course I had to make something!

Green Tea Cake w/White Chocolate Frosting & Pistachios

The Green Tea Cake, which spawned the tiniest Green Tea Cupcake, previously blogged about,  was completed this week!

Honestly, I don't have much to say about it! It was fun making the cake with Yuri & it was fun frosting it!

More...again..sorry?!

Well, clearly I am just fascinated with making Cake Balls. Obviously it is easy, as I have posted about it before. I kind of gave in (and am a little annoyed about it) and used some 'chocolate' that would hold up to the heat, considering is is FINALLY summer-ish like in Illinois.

So, even though I kind of strongly dislike this fake chocolate non-sense...I have to admit, it works well & looks good.

I did research these chocolate things and found out there is a company that makes some that taste better than the Wilton brand. We shall see after I place an order!

Can you tell I started using my real camera, rather than my iPhone?! I hope so! Not that I am a stellar photographer, but at least the camera is better, ya?!
