I was unexpectedly admitted to the hospital this past weekend and my parents (who are saints) stepped in to care for our daughter while my husband and I were at the hospital. I am so greatful that I have them so close by. To thank my parents, decided to make them a batch of my dulce de leche cupcakes. For those that don't know, dulce de leche has a caramel flavor and is made from milk. I've been testing and tweaking this recipe for quite some time but haven't given them to anyone until now. Here they are:
I'm happy to report that these were a big hit!
I had the pleasure of making a baby shower cake for one of my best friends this weekend. She knew that she was having a boy so her sister's set out on a blue, green, and brown shower theme.
We talked about a few styles of cake and ultimately decided on a more modern cake look that would match the party decor. Below is the final product!
This cake was a vanilla cake that was tinted blue. The top tier had strawberry filling and the bottom tier was filled with banana cream. Yummy! The polka dots and stripes were made of fondant and the bow was made of chocolate and fondant. Yummy!
I'm happy to report that these were a big hit!
