Prince Charming's Birthday Cake






















My sweet, amazing, incredible, wonderful (Have I used enough adjectives there?) husband makes every day of my life a fairy tale come true. A man like that deserves a sweet, amazing, incredible, wonderful, fairy tale come true kind of birthday cake, don't you think? I had a lot of fun with this one - a triple-layer chocolate-and-yellow polka dot cake, iced with rich chocolate frosting and decorated with white chocolate frosting filigree.

My inspiration for this one comes from Once Upon A Pedestal.
The frosting is that same white chocolate frosting (and it's semi-sweet chocolate counterpart) I keep going back to from Erin's Food Files. I just can't get enough of it!

It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown! Spice Cake





Some say my Halloween cake turned out to be the yummiest cake I've made yet. A pumpkin-shaped pumpkin spice cake with cinnamon cream cheese frosting. Also makes fantastic cupcakes, which can also be decorated to look like little pumpkins.

My inspiration here came from Kate at A Merrier World.
I used my own recipe for the cake, but the Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting came from Half-Baked: The Cake Blog.
