3/27/2010 0 Comments Chocolate Espresso Cheesecake This is a chocolate espresso swirl cheesecake covered in mocha whipped cream. The cheesecake is wrapped in a semisweet chocolate collar done with a transfer sheet. The borders are piped with mocha whipped cream and I used espresso beans as a garnish on the rosettes on the top of the cake. The lettering was done with gumpaste and brushed with petal dust to get the coloring.

3/18/2010 0 Comments St Patricks Day Cupcakes These cupcakes were chocolate-pistachio marble cake and were iced with a swirl of white chocolate mousseline buttercream. Each cupcake was topped with green shamrock sprinkles. Happy St Patricks Day!  3/18/2010 1 Comment Two New Cookie Recipes These are Cashew Caramel Cookies. They not only have lots of chunks of cashews in the cookies but also have a homemade cashew butter that was creamed with brown and white sugars to form the base of the batter. Once baked and cooled, these cookies were drizzled with caramel.  These are tiramisu cookies. The cookies themselves are almost an espresso sponge cake, which were then coated with chocolate on one side and sandwiched together with a Kahlua-mascarpone cream filling. Yum!  3/6/2010 0 Comments Gardening Cake This is a Southern Coconut Cake with Cream Cheese Buttercream covered in coconut. I was really excited to try this buttercream because it used a sugar syrup and meringue base and incorporated cream cheese into it.  The cake was topped with three gumpaste tulips dusted with different shades of yellow petal dusts.  The gardening girl on the cake board was made from gumpaste...  ...As was the lady on top of the cake and the watering can. Also, the fence posts surrounding the base of the cake were made from fondant and given a wood grain finish with an impression mat. The slats in the fence were piped in with icing as was the grass.  The lettering was done with fondant and "Feliz Cumpleaños" means Happy Birthday in Spanish. I hope that this cake added to a great family birthday celebration! Feliz Cumpleaños!!
