Tim's Reeses Peanut Buttercup/Crispy Crunch Chocolate Cake

For Mr. T's birthday as long as it's chocolate he's not picky about the decoration and extra flavour. I had red icing left over from yesterday's cake so I added peanut butter to it as I know he loves peanut butter and chocolate combined. I sent Miss down to the store to buy buttercups and whatever else she could find to add to the cake; she found Crispy Crunch which was a perfect pairing.

This was a two layer 6" chocolate cake with peanut butter icing and filling. I also added broken buttercups and Crispy Crunch between the layers. For extra chocolate I added some ganache.

Cutest helpers to lick the beaters.

Even found candles to put on the cake, and matches!

Miss E captured this picture perfectly for me.

The cake was also enjoyed for breakfast the next morning by everyone.

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.
