Sweet Tooth

Clearly, it's a sweet time of year for me-- I've been obsessing over cakes lately! I have an entire board of them over on Pinterest; "Special Cakes" I've called it, and they are all a LOT better than the wrecks featured the last couple of weeks!

1. Chambord Layer Cake
(via)
I'm a sucker for Chambord-- it is pricey and decadent and dee-lish! Serving this little baby up at a bridal shower with French Martinis would be a guaranteed hit!

2. Charming Chromatic
(via)
You could use the layers to put in different flavors, or just leave it be and make it pretty! The cake as a whole is just as beautiful as the inside.

3. Diminutive Delights
(via)
I think these would be adorable for any shower, and even for a wedding! If you have a baker in the family and the ever amazing helpful wedding party, you could do these a couple of days out-- just don't break out the wine until the icing is done... 

4. Neapolitan Cake
(via)
Oh, boy, I'm also a big time sucker for Neapolitan. I think the only thing that would make this better is a layer of strawberry cake, then strawberry ice cream, then chocolate... well, I'm sure you get where I'm going with this. What a great way to please every palate! 

What about you? What does your sweet tooth have you craving?

Ring Pop Jokes Galore

In a fit of exhaustion, I turned to my Facebook friends list for inspiration tonight-- I knew I could count on Krystal! I've seen in passing this new fad, Cake Pops, but hadn't paid much attention to it, but Krystal brought it up again so I've looked a little more in to it and I still don't know how I feel about it...





I haven't had one yet, but in theory they're pretty good and a lot of folks are starting up small businesses with them! I may not rush out to buy one, but since they're easily made (see Bakerella) I'll champion them as the perfect do it yourself treat for the cake table or the favors table!
