Special Requests

I love getting special requests because i get to try flavor combos that i wouldn't necessarily try on my own. This is my red velvet cake with chocolate frosting, yes, chocolate frosting. Those of you who know my red devil cakes they are always covered in cream cheese. These ones however were not that bad.

Strawberry Shortcake

About this time every year I begin to crave things that are fresh and fruity; naturally Strawberry Shortcake is always at the top of my list. There is something so simple about the buttery taste of the pound cake mixed with the light fluffy whip cream and and quenching fruit. You cant beat it! I find myself sneaking to the fridge for one more bite! "Hey its healthy it has fruit, Right?"

Valentines Success!


Thanks to everyone who participated in this Valentines Day Special it was a lot of fun and it showed me how many of my friends and family are supporting me!

Chocolate Covered Strawberry Cupcake



MMMMMmmm! This is the yummiest! Strawberry cake with little chunks of strawberry baked right in. Topped with a thin layer of cream cheese frosting and then mounded with Chocolate Syrup frosting. Garnished with a hand dipped strawberry for the "wow"factor!

Red Velvet Cake



One of the very first recipes that I made that everyone loved and since then it has become an "oldie but goodie." This red velvet cupcake is packed full of chocolate chunks to add a rich chocolaty flavor, and topped with my super sweet cream cheese frosting. This particular one is dressed up to go out on Valentines Day!

Peanut-Butter Cup/cakes


This is always a crowd pleaser and whenever I introduce this cupcake to someone new they are always begging for its return! This is a rich fudgy cake with a peanut butter whipped filling, topped with chocolate syrup frosting and garnished with Reese's Peanut Butter cups!

Sports cookies and Cookie Cake


This is a chocolate chip and pecan cookie cake, and sugar cookies with buttercream frosting on sticks! I made this cake and cookies for my nephew on his second birthday!

German Chocolate Cupcakes


German Chocolate cake with German chocolate chunks baked right into the cake. Filled with Chocolate syrup Icing. Smothered with Coconut-Pecan Caramel Frosting. Then Topped with the Chocolate Syrup Frosting. Too die for!

Hummingbird Cake


This cake I made as a special request for a birthday. The birthday girl was turning 71 and wanted a cake that reminded her of her southern roots and her mothers kitchen. I hope she enjoyed it! I love doing stuff that allows me to try new recipes.

The Simple Life




Give me the Simple Life!

I don't believe in frettin' and grievin'; Why mess around with strife? I never was cut out to step and strut out. Give me the simple life. Some find it pleasant dining on pheasant. Those things roll off my knife; Just serve me tomatoes; and mashed potatoes; Give me the simple life.

A cottage small is all I'm after, Not one that's spacious and wide. A house that rings with joy and laughter And the ones you love inside. Some like the high road, I like the low road, Free from the care and strife. Sounds corny and seedy, but yes, indeed-y; Give me the simple life.
