The one and only creamy, crunchy, chocolate, O-R-E-O!

This weeks cake creation was a request. The request was for Oreo cake balls, but not just any Oreo...  peanut butter Oreo. How could we possibly turn down a request for these? They are SO addicting!! It is not even possible to eat just one of them, I guarantee you that you can make them and eat them all in a day, they
are that easy to make and delicious to eat.So thanks Tina for the request, and we hope you love them!
If you have been wanting to bake something but don't have the time, these are perfect, no baking, quick and easy.

"oh the weather outside is frightful..."

There has already been a state record amount of snowfall last month in CT, with over 47.8 inches of snow, topping the previous record of 45.3inches set in 1945.



So needless to say we all had some cabin fever and these kids needed to get out of the house! So we took our cake adventure to my mother's kitchen and we had a little help...


To welcome February and undoubtedly more snow we decided to make a snowball cake! Remember those hostess snowball cakes, so YUMMY.




We wanted one, a BIG one. we weren't exactly sure how to make this ball of a cake tho, so after some research we found that you can bake a cake in a bowl (oven safe bowl of course.. like these Pyrex Prepware 3-Piece Mixing Bowl Set, Clear) We decided on a chocolate cake with a cream cheese filling and a sugary frosting, coated with coconut.
The only thing is when baking in a bowl it took FOREVER to bake, we wanted to make
sure it baked all the way through without burning the edges so we kept the oven at 300 and baked it for an hour and a half!! But it was well worth the wait.

21st birthday festivities

Our brother's 21st birthday was last week, so we went to go visit him this weekend to celebrate! And you can't have a birthday without a cake now can you?
So while brainstorming for this very special birthday cake there was one thing we were both sure of... It has to be a beer cake! After all it IS for a 21st birthday. And we know we already made an "adult"cake last week, but we couldn't resist this opportunity! So we promise next week we will keep it family friendly.
So we finally decided on Guinness for the beer.. and what goes with Guinness??
That's right Irish cream!




Guinness cake with Irish cream frosting.


What more could a 21 year old boy ask for in a cake? Yes we know we are awesome sisters!!
Happy birthday Dan!!!


And to wash this d.e.l.i.c.i.o.u.s cake down??


Irish car bomb of course!!!

A toast

What better way to toast our new cake adventures than with champagne
cupcakes??


We began our bake-a-pades (yes we will be using our new word often
here in our great cake bake) in our mom's kitchen..why? because it's
a brand new shiney kitchen asking for an adventure!! don't you agree?



So in between answering spelling homework questions from a 9 year old on
his own mission, and a 2 1/2 year old crawling around pretending to be the
hungry caterpillar we attempted these champagne cupcakes... Not to shabby.

They were very yummy, The frosting didn't come out the consistency we were hoping for but it tasted good so it worked.. What do you think?
