Impromptu Cake for an Impromptu Wedding

A friend's mother is marrying her long-time man on Thursday morning. She asked me to make a cake. She gave me complete leeway... I told her I'd make the Muddin' Cake, but I was just kidding. She'd love it, but I don't know about her mom. LOL.

I was going to make a simple cake with some little flowers on it, but I chose instead to do the Sunflower Cake. The biggest problem is the petals. They don't want to stay on, so I had to use some toothpicks to hold them in place. But, for a last minute cake, it turned out pretty cute.

Easter 2011

Easter is an important holiday to me. It is the holiday that gave me hope... In fact, it's the holiday that gives all Christians hope. Easter is the day that Jesus rose from the grave. He left an empty tomb as a remembrance of his sacrifice.

In honor of that day, I decided to create a cake with Him in mind. I created a cake with Jesus' empty tomb on it. The cake pictured is a three layer chocolate cake with a cream cheese filling. The frosting is entirely buttercream, in different colors. The cake is 100% edible, down to the blades of flowering grass. The tomb is hollowed out with a stone slab inside. Jesus' grave clothes are folded at one end of the stone. The stone covering the door is rolled away.

My Jesus died for me. He died for you. I hope this simple cake can convey that love.

Cinnamon Roll Cheesecake

A little something for breakfast.

This cinnamon filled cheesecake is simply divine. The light cinnamon swirl enhances the creamy texture of the cheesecake. A luscious cream cheese frosting tops this yummy morning treat.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Cheesecake

This is not your ordinary cheesecake.

A chewy chocolate chip cookie crust lays beneath a sinfully rich cheesecake. Layers of chocolate finish off this delightfully grown-up version of a childhood favorite. The definite cookie flavor explodes with each tantalizing bite. One small taste of this cheesecake will bring back memories of baking with grandma and the scrumptious smell of fresh chocolate chip cookies filling her warm kitchen.

Chocolate Covered Strawberries Cheesecake

This cheesecake is a scrumptious, rich, creamy delicacy. Layers of chocolate, cheesecake, and fresh strawberries makes your mouth water and fills your heart with loads of love.
