Pumpkin Cake with Butterscotch Filling

I try not to post 2 recipes in a row with the same common ingredient, but I really want to get all of my pumpkin posts up before fall has come and gone! I made this pumpkin cake, with butterscotch filling and brown sugar buttercream, for my mother-in-law’s birthday last month and it was delicious! As [...]

Kit Kat Cake

How cute is this cake?! Not only does it look awesome, it is so easy to make! No cake decorating skills required. I made this for a co-workers birthday. She is always munching on candy, so I knew this would be perfect for her.

All you do is take your favorite cake recipe, bake and let [...]

Tiramisu Cake

I love, love, love tiramisu! If it is on the dessert menu at any given restaurant, I am guaranteed to order it. The espresso soaked lady fingers layered with the sweet, creamy mascarpone filling is heaven on a plate for me. I have been wanting to make this cake since I first got Baking: From [...]

Graduation Cake Pops

It’s graduation time! Leave it to Bakerella to come up with the idea for these adorable cake pops! When my friend asked me to make a graduation cake, I decided it was the perfect reason to make these as well. Luckily, this same friend also came over to help me assemble the pops. Thanks Melissa!

Strawberry Shortcake Cake

I recently made a couple of cakes for Teacher Appreciation Day at our local elementary school. The theme was “comfort food” so I immediately knew I wanted to make this Peanut Butter Cup Cake, but I wanted to non-chocolate cake for those crazy people who don’t like peanut butter/chocolate. It just so happened that The Pioneer [...]

Barefoot Bloggers: Mini Orange (vanilla bean) Cupcakes

The first recipe of May for the Barefoot Bloggers was supposed to be Tuna Salad, chosen by  Kate. But we don’t really have a good selection of fresh tuna steaks in our town, and honestly I don’t really like tuna anyway (sorry Kate!).
Luckily, the Barefoot Bloggers leaders introduced a new event this month, Barefoot Backtracking! [...]

Cherry Cake with Cherry Cream Cheese Frosting

I recently made a birthday cake for a little girl who loves cherries! So when I saw this cake pop up in my reader a couple of months ago, I immediately starred it for the occasion. I personally wasn’t sure how this cake would taste, my fear was that it would be too sweet. But [...]

Lemon Cake

When I saw this cake, I figured it would be a vanilla cake with a hint of lemon. But I was wrong, this is a full blown lemony lemon cake. With lemon zest in the batter, fresh lemon juice syrup poured on top and a sweet lemony glaze, this cake will be a hit with [...]

Black Forest Cake

We recently celebrated my father-in-laws birthday and I was in charge of the cake. He is a pretty basic person and usually only likes chocolate cake with vanilla and/or chocolate frosting. But I really wanted to make a new kind of cake, one I hadn’t made before. When my mother-in-law suggested something with cherries, I [...]

Valentine’s Day Cake

One of my co-workers asked me to make a small cake for her and her husband for Valentine’s Day. She didn’t care how I decorated it, so after searching through the galleries over at cakecentral.com, this is what I made:

The cake is a red velvet cake with vanilla bean cream cheese frosting. Since it was [...]
