Raspberries and Vanilla cake



This cake is loaded with raspberries. It has a vanilla cake base folded with fresh raspberries layered with raspberry puree and vanilla buttercream frosting. Decorated this cake reminds me of a toy drum... the ones that the little soldiers are holding in the nutcracker..gets me into a christmassy mood!

Carrot Hummingbird


This is something new I tried out today. Hummingbird cake with carrots added to it.It has a new twist to it, very moist banana-carrots and pineapple taste.Pretty cool flavours..thought the carrot looked best on the frosting. Going to search for minature pineapples and banana marzipan toppings...they'd look really great too!

Lemon Butterfly Cupcakes


Most cupcakes come with creamy butter frostings. I wanted to add something fresh, light and fruity to my cupcake menu. The lemon cupcakes i made today are truly delicious. They are filled with sweet and sour lemon curd and sprinkled with icing sugar.This recipe i got from Elinor Klivans cupcake! book.I think a meringue topping would also be great with this cupcake.
