6 dozen...

I feel like I have been baking non-stop in the past month. I was asked to bake cupcakes for multiple functions...one particularly was for a ladys 90th birthday party. I ended up making six dozen which is the most cupcakes I have ever made at a single time. I keep telling my family this process would be a lot easier if they would buy me a bigger and better oven as well as more cupcake pans.

We did a basic vanilla and chocolate with a buttercream frosting to match the decor of the party. I used these fun wilton baking cups that were perfect for the color scheme....take a look

That is a whole lot of cupcakes....

Happy Fourth of July??

I have been meaning to post about my fourth of July dessert, well....since the fourth of July.
I decided to get really festive after I saw a post on plain chicken and I wanted to make the american flag cake. After I made it and was blog surfing I realized it is a very popular idea, but nonetheless it was very fun to make. I did not tell anybody about the surprise on the inside and so when we cut the cake there were a lot of gasps, oooh's, and ahhhh's. I was actually quite impressed with how it turned out and it was devoured in what seemed like minutes. This may be an annual thing from now on, I set the standards high... here are the pics...

I am starting to realize why no one will buy me a big and fancy camera...maybe that is because all I ever use is my phone? But I bet I would use it if I had it...right?
