All in Cakes

Funfetti Cake and 1 Year Blog Anniversary GIVEAWAY

Today my blog turns 1 year old! It's flown by so fast, and I'm so happy with this little sprinkle-filled corner of the internet I've created. Sure I've only come a little ways farther than having just my boyfriend read my blog, but I'm so proud of it. I've learned so much, and yet there is exponentially much more to learn about this thing we call food blogging.

Kahlua Cake

I remember tasting a Kahlua Cake at a Christmas party when I was 16. Here I am years later still thinking about that cake. It was so moist, rich, and had such an interesting flavor. It's a devil's food chocolate cake that has Kahlua mixed in the batter.

Banana Split Ice Cream Cake

With the summer coming to an end, and a new school year approaching, this cake feels right. It's the big summer send-off. The Ice Cream Social before the school year. Did anyone else do those as a kid?

It's one of those desserts where you get to dive in, head-first, and indulge. Forget the bikinis, skinny jeans, and tank tops. We're headed towards oversized sweaters, and stretchy pants. You deserve to pull out all the stops, and so does this cake. 

Almond Joy Ice Cream Cake

Chocolate cake layered with vanilla coconut ice cream, chocolate sauce, coconut and chopped Almond Joy candies.

Good lighting makes me happy. 

I'm far from calling myself a "food photographer", but I feel like each new recipe I shoot I am learning more and getting a little bit better. I think I enjoy the photo-taking just as much, if not more, than the baking! It's definitely the creativity. 

 

American Flag Ruffle Cake

What's wonderful about piping a ruffle is that it doesn't have to be perfect. The imperfections give it character without making it look like you messed up! The messier, the better. Or something. Plus, it's actually super easy and it gives your cakes a look of difficulty.  Ruffle to impress!
