Peach Bellini Cupcakes

I found this recipe on Pinterest a while back and vowed that I would make these one night for wine night. It's the May 24 weekend also known as Lindsay's birthday weekend. So, I figured we'd start the weekend celebration off with these.

I followed the recipe that came from the blog Sing For Your Supper pretty much to the letter. I did add some extra Peach Schnapps to the icing though. They were quite yummy and I will make them again. Next time I would probably use two peaches, and definitely Ontario grown ones. The icing recipe barely covers the two dozen cupcakes. I topped these ones off with some silver flakes. Also, next time I go to Milestones and order a Bellini, I'm going to see if I can get some extra plastic animals that they always put on top of their drinks for the cupcakes. This time I wasn't organised enough and only thought of that yesterday.

My Little Pony Pull Apart Cupcake Cake

For this "cake" I made two dozen vanilla cupcakes and arranged them on the cake board in the shape of the rainbow and clouds. To make sure the cupcakes didn't move I added a dab of icing on the bottom of each cupcake. It's not that often that I get to dye icing, or six different colours at once. You can get a really good bicep workout, Miss E was kind enough to lend her figurines as models for the picture. The clouds piped out perfectly. The rainbow was a little more difficult. Next time I would put a base coat on the cupcakes to help keep the top coat more level and easier to pipe over.

Carrot Cake for July Birthdays

To celebrate my dad and brother's birthdays this year we went up to my parents' trailer to have a campfire dinner; hotdogs over the fire with a side of corn on the cob. So good! To finish off the celebration I made one of the family favourites, carrot cake with cream cheese icing. This was a 3 layer six inch cake with lots of cream cheese icing. Hopefully, it was enough for Geoff this time.

60th Jack Daniels Birthday Cake

These types of cakes are so much fun to do. Over the top goodness! Especially, when the original plan was to use airplane size bottles of Jack Daniel's instead of one 300mL bottle. When Mr T went to the LCBO he was told that they longer sell them, at least as this location, due to high theft. The next smallest size available was the 300mL bottle; though I doubt the birthday boy was disappointed! This was a 3 layer chocolate 8" cake with Bailey's buttercream topped off with Hershey pieces, mini chocolate chip cookies, Ferrero Rocher and Whoppers sitting on top of the chocolate ganache.
