Pina Colada Cupcakes

"Escape" with these Pina Colada Cupcakes!! (yes this post comes with music)

 I really made the Black Forest cake smaller so that I could make these bad boys!! These came out sooo good!! It was a coconut cake made with coconut cream and of course some Malibu Coconut Rum =). Since I made a cherry simple syrup for the Black Forest cake, I thought it'd be cool to use the leftover pineapple juice for these cupcakes (with another shot of that rum). I filled them with crushed pineapple, and topped them with a Coconute Cream Cheese (more rum please) Icing and toasted coconut. A new favorite for me (and my brother lol)

Black Forest Cake!!

I usually plan to bake on my nights off from work so I was looking for new recipes to try. My mom took notice and suggests : "how about a chocolate cake...with chocolate filling..and cherries?" lol so i go "black forest? alright I guess so". I made a 6inch Black Forest cake for her and like 4 cupcakes out of the leftover batter. I made a chocolate cake, cherry simple syrup to moisten (with the extra cherry juice and black cherry schnapps..SO GOOD), cherry filling using canned tart cherries, chocolate pudding (cheated and used a box of devils food instant with a cup of milk and a little shot of "whipped" vodka), whipped cream and maraschinos to top it off ..she loved it!

I filled the cupcakes with the cherries and topped it off with the pudding, whip and maraschino.

Biker Baby Cake

So one of my best friends asked me to make a cake for her son's 1st birthday party....Biker themed.
I decided to do a leather jacket cake (Orange Cream) and put a Big Wheel (made of gumpaste) on top and Root Beer Float cupcakes with fondant flames =)
