Red Velvet Halloween Skull Cakes

I know, I know, I *just* mentioned the other day that Halloween isn’t really my thing, and here I am posting the second skull-themed baked good in as many days. Mainly, this is because I wanted to use my skull pan that was given to me, and sure, why not, let’s make something red-velvet-y … I don’t do that nearly enough. The cakes turned out almost too fluffy and very airy, but they did taste good. And there is something satisfying about biting into a skull. Yeah, ok, that last part is a little weird to write. I promise I’m not a vampire.

Mountains of Berries Cheesecake

So, It’s my best friend’s birthday this weekend, so I am up at her place, visiting in Maine. And of course, there was a birthday cake to be made, so I made this amazing Mountains of Berries Cheesecake. It’s a vanilla cheesecake and fresh berries that I picked myself (well, at least the raspberries and blueberries). It’s goinng to be a disaster to cut, but that is ok because it will still taste good!

Chocolate Raspberry and Roses Cake

Yes, it’s that time of year again when I actually *bake a cake*. I usually stick to the cupcake side of things, because they are asier to transport and share, but it is my birthday, so I thought that I would make an actual cake. Here it is: Chocolate Raspberries and “roses”. The roses I bought, and they are edible, though not very tasty and a little styrofaomy. Doesn’t take away from the rest of the cake though so yum. And happy birthday to me!

Caramel Pecan Banana Bundt Cake

I’ve had company visiting for the weekend (which actually seems to often be the case!) so to make the “hey, sure, you can sleep in the spare bed” more like a bed and breakfast experience, I made some banana-bread like thing to snack on in the morning. I’m not sure if I should call this banana *bread* or *coffee cake* so I went with Bundt Cake, just because of the pan I used. Super light and fluffy; totally yummy.
