WIBT

I have quite a few cakes to post, if only I could find the time to sit down and write the entry! For now though, something I'd like to call WIBT- What I Baked Today.

It's been a cloudy, chilly day that eventually turned into a drizzly chilly day, so I wanted something warm and comforting. I also had a busy morning volunteering in my daughter's first grade class (we cut apples for apple pie!) and then grocery shopping, so I wanted something that required very little effort. I immediately thought of the rich, delicious Chocolate Cobbler from Mommy's Kitchen. I haven't tried a recipe from there that I didn't love, so trust me when I say that this is some seriously yummy stuff. Plus, if you bake on a regular basis chances are great that you will already have everything needed to make this delicious cobbler in your kitchen!

Chocolate Cobbler, mmm.

The only thing missing from this bowl is some fresh whipped cream or vanilla bean ice cream.

Glitter!

I started this blog because I love to bake. I love to share what I've made with the world, which I do on a regular basis on facebook, but I felt like there was so much missing. You don't get the story behind the cake, you just get the finished product. So this blog will be for the behind the scenes bits, if you will.

First I'll start with an order I delivered this morning for 4 dozen cupcakes. I first met Aubrey a little over a year ago when she contacted me to make her a grooms cake for her wedding rehearsal. I call it the poker cake... or the p-p-p-poker cake, p-p-poker cake if you're a Gaga fan.

Can't eat my, can't eat my, no you can't eat it my poker cake.

Anyway, Aubrey's sister Kacie is having a baby (a boy!) and Aubrey needed some cupcakes for Kacie's baby shower. When I met with the sisters, who are both amazingly sweet and nice, we quickly came up with a design and flavors- Snickers and vanilla cupcakes in simple but pretty designs. With glitter. Lots of glitter.
