Instant Pot Triple Chocolate Cheesecake

Another Instant Pot cheesecake. This time I used this recipe. This one called for a 7" pan but I had just bought the 6" Fat Daddio's Cheesecake pan from Amazon and wanted to try it out. I was making this cake to celebrate the January birthdays for some good friends. The Golden Girls were never wrong in always having a cheesecake on hand to share with friends.

Lesson learned, if you don't have the right size pan, go up in size, not down. This was a very tall cake and it over flowed a little into the pot; but that's okay! Because in the Instant Pot it overflowed into the water and not the bottom of my stove. Clean up was a breeze. It didn't matter if the top of the cake was perfect since I was covering it with a ganache.

I finished off the cake by spritzing some edible gold dust onto the top. This cake was so delicious. If you have an Instant Pot, make it right now, you won't regret it.

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.
