Zebra Cake!

Pin It Today I experimented with making a zebra cake. I took it one step further and topped the zebra cake with zebra fondant!

First step is to alternate chocolate and Vanilla batter as shown here:

Finished up alternating batters:

After being baked: (once it is cake sliced it resembles zebra stripes) I divided it up in half and filled with chocolate swiss meringue buttercream... yum!!

Decorated the cake with zebra cake with zebra fondant!:Finished Up with Pink Pearls!

Red Velvet Cupcakes - Quest for the Best

Pin It I made the Red Velvet Cupcakes the other day for the Lonely Hearts Dinner but to be honest I wasn't completely happy with the flavor or the color. So I was on a mission to make better ones. I have a recipe for Red Velvet Cake that is amazing but for some reason they pull away from the cupcake liners. Today I made 5 recipes and compared them.... and I found the best cupcake recipe after tweaking one of the recipes!

Red Velvets baking:

Cooling.....Side by Side Comparison: left is a butter recipe; Right is Vegetable Oil.... I prefer butter in taste.
4 Side By Side:
I like the bright red color rather than the dark red.

Red Velvet Cupcakes - The Lonely Hearts Club

Pin It I made Red Velvet cupcakes yesterday for a special get together for my roommate.Its called the Lonely Hearts Dinner -a group of fabulous single people who each host a dinner party at one of their houses every Monday night. This week it was my roommate's turn to have it at our place. I decided it would be a perfect time to make Red Velvet Cupcakes and decorate them special for the Lonely Hearts Club. My boyfriend and I left the apartment and went for dinner and a movie. I came back home to rave reviews about the cupcakes! Check them out!

Pin It Learned how to make two more Gum Paste flowers in class the other day. - I love both types of flowers so I was excited to replicate them in sugar form!! 1st is the Fuchsia Plant and second is a classic favorite: The Calla Lily :o)
