I don’t really have anything funny, cute or silly to say about this cake. Just that it’s yummy, tasty, and delicious and I was pleased at how it turned out. I’m usually very skeptical about trying a new recipe to bring to a party without making a “test batch” to taste first. But alas, I [...]

For a first-birthday celebration, I found myself making 48 cupcakes. I made 24 chocolate, and 24 vanilla. For the chocolate, I used this recipe, doubling it. And for the vanilla, I used this recipe, doubling it, and baking for about 5 minutes less. Ever searching for new and fun frostings, I came across two wildly [...]
