A friend of ours requested this cupcake for his son who wants to be a Marine when he's old enough to join. Since I can't draw or make pretty pictures I ordered the edible image online.
There was some extra cupcakes with no images so I tried the rose swirl :-) and my golly I did it, wooohooo! Oh, and I packed some extra cake balls too so they can try them.
Doesn't it look too pretty? I'm so happy on how this turned out.
I made these cake balls to giveaway to friends and families for when I see them on Saturday at the Banquet (3/27/10). These are red velvet flavored cake and dipped in white chocolate and semi sweet chocolate. I got the treat box from Michael's and it was on sale. The size was just perfect for the cake balls.
White chocolate drizzled with the semi sweet chocolate. These are hubby's favorite so I have to hide it from him, or he will eat the whole entire thing. :-)
Semi sweet chocolate, he doesn't fancy this too much but he likes it too.
I made this cake for a friend. Her hubby ordered the cake and he pretty much told me to make whatever is my best flavored cake. Everyone loves my chocolate cake so I made it for her.
Those were some yummy dipped strawberry. I had some and I had to tell myself to stop or I wouldn't have anything left for the cake. LOL!
I always have a hard time smoothing out the sides of a square cake. So most of the time I make it grooved or something with wave or anything that won't show the flaw *wink* I just took the spatula and starting from the bottom just drag the tip of the spatula to the top.
I apologize of my writing since that is one of those things I am not good at.
Sorry, I've slowed down with the yummy post. I can only bake so much and eat so much sweets or I will balloon up to a ton. Not good for the health too with 2 kids running around all sugared up.
It smells so delish and I'm not lying it was pretty good. So airy and puffy, reminds me of angel food cake. The only problem was the pandan taste has disappeared. The next time I make this I might have to use the real thing. Buy the pandan leaves and do the real work.
Manang also shared her frosting but I wanted something different, to make up for the taste. I made this pandan buttercream and added some buko from the jar. If you know me, I'm not into coconuts but what the heck. LOL! Still the taste was the same :-(
Before, I would just throw the scrap and that's just a waste. Now that I know what you can do this bad boys they don't go to waste anyway.
You've seen this before.
I'm making cherries this time and it's yummy :-) Chopped up cherry, juice all drained. I only used half form the jar.
Chopped up cherry mixed in the mushed cake.
Mix in the cherry buttercream frosting.
Then you get one of these :-)
