The Cakes and Cupcakes
The Cupcakes
 |
| I made these prickly cupcakes for my sister's bridal shower. My mother heard about these really popular cupcakes at a local bakery and asked me to make them. They are of course completely vegan cause the sis is vegs. They were chocolate and white cake with vanilla buttercream frosting. |
 |
| I made these for two friends with July birthdays. They are vegan tequila lime cupcakes with vegan tequila lime frosting. I heard they were tasty, but since I am a teetotaler I did not try them. This are my summer classic. |
 |
| I made these suckers for my two bff's birthdays which happen to be on the same day! Since they are both chocolate fiends, I made vegan chocolate cake with mocha frosting - one of my signature recipes - garnished with chocolate chips, and vegan chocolate cake with raspberry buttercream frosting and fresh raspberry garnish. |
 |
| My dear friends Andy and Jovana had a little bambino soon after they got married. I went there to visit, and meet the bam, and I brought with me some celiac friendly cupcakes. White cake with raspberry frosting and chocolate frosting. |
 |
| Homemade carrot cake - one of my signature recipes - cupcake with yellow cream cheese frosting and homemade yellow royal icing daisy. This was for my friend Cecily's birthday party. They were super moist and delicious. |
 |
| For my friend Brent's housewarming/Halloween Party, where I dressed up as a 1980's Eastern Airlines Flight Attendant, I made my carrot cake cupcakes with orange buttercream frosting and vegan chocolate cupcakes with chocolate frosting and garnished with my favorite thing ever: BRACHS Candy Corn |
The Cakes
 |
| I was asked by my friend Chase to make two birthday cakes for his husband's 40th birthday bash. Quite an honor. He asked that one be vegan - since he is vegan - and one "normal" cake. This is the vegan cake: Chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream frosting and handmade royal icing violets. |
 |
| This was the "normal" cake: White cake with fresh strawberry frosting - a signature recipe |
 |
| This is what my fridge looked like one night. Just cakes! |
 |
| Fir Christmas, my sister and brother-in-law got me a really cool baking book. I was drooling over all of the recipes so I decided for my dear friend Sandra's birthday on New Year's Even that I would try my hand at one of them. This is the chocolate cake with a chocolate custard filling/frosting. |
 |
| After struggling with the corn starch portion of the recipe I managed to make the custard pretty smooth. It was basically an all chocolate Boston Cream Pie, but the cake was too bready. If I make it again it will be with my vegan chocolate cake recipe. |
 |
| I made this for the exbf's friend's birthday. It is a white cake with vanilla buttercream frosting. I thought it looked super plain jane so I decided to give it a retro feel with the chocolate chips. It was a huge hit. |
 |
| It has been a family tradition since I can remember that we make a bunny cake every year for my father's birthday - it is always a couple of days/weeks away from Easter. So when my parents came to New York to celebrate Easter with us this year I made him a bunny cake. It is white cake, and one cupcake, with yellow vanilla butter cream frosting covered with coconut and jellybean eyes and nose. I think this is the CUTEST thing ever! |
