Peanut Butter Chocolate Cheesecake

I brought this cake up to my parents' trailer for dessert. Made in the Instant Pot as there is no other way to do it! It is so fool proof. I know I say this every time, but I really can't stress it enough. If you've ever been intimidated about making a cheesecake, you can't go wrong with doing it in an Instant Pot. There are lots of step by step instructions and recipes on Pinterest and YouTube.

I beefed this one up with some chopped mini Reese Peanut Butter Cups. Chocolate and peanut butter are such a beautiful pairing.

We are so fortunate to be able to visit with my parents at their trailer outside. It's so nice to be able to get away from the city where you can almost forget that there is a pandemic going on.

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.

I absolutely love how this cake turned out. It was a two layer 6" cookies n' cream (this time I didn't forget any ingredients!) cake. I covered it in pale blue fondant, with soft pink and white flowers. I made a large three layer rose the night before with some leaves so they would have enough time to dry out. For "80", I cut out two of each number out so I could hide the cocktail stick between the two layers. I had just enough of the soft pink ribbon to go around the bottom of the cake to finish it off. Now, for the cupcakes I did raspberry cupcake with raspberry mascarpone icing, lemon cupcake with lemon cream cheese icing, caramel cupcake with salted caramel icing topped with caramel sauce and cookies n' cream cupcake with buttercream icing. Two dozen of each went t...

Dentist Cake

One of Mr. T's coworkers asked me to do this cake for her sister that had graduated to be a dentist. She asked that it has a dentist theme with money on it. This was a 6" chocolate cake covered in vanilla buttercream. You can tell how humid the day was with the shine on the lettering. The tooth, toothbrush and bills were made from fondant.
