Buckeyes

Sopapilla Cheesecake Pie

The following cakes were made for wedding events…whether it was a cake for the groom, bride, bachelor/bachelorette party, bridal shower, or the actual wedding itself.

Boston Creme Cupcakes
Boston Crème Cupcakes. Deliciously moist yellow cupcakes with a vanilla custard center and topped with chocolate ganache. Hello, heaven. My young daughter kept coming into the kitchen while I was making these and asking, “Mommy, can I have a cupcake?” and I’d always reply, “Not yet sweet pea, they’re not finished.” She would then turn aroundRead More
