Birthday Cake

Fondant Cakes

It has been well over two years since I have been on. That does not mean I have stopped baking. Michelle showed me how to make fondant so I have made a few fondant cakes. This is the first fondant cake I did. Fourth of July was the second and so on.

Not forgotten

I have lots of pictures on my camera from all the desserts I have made over the last few months.
Hockey season is over this weekend so I will be posting new recipes very soon.

For those of you who need a little Christmas cheer. This cake might just do the job!!!!!!

1 Pkg. (not instant) vanilla pudding

4 Eggs

1/2 c. light rum or Bacardi Gold

Remove from oven and while still hot, drizzle rum glaze over it. Leave cake in pan for at least 30 minutes so the glaze can soak through.

Ice Cream Cake

This recipe was graciously given to me by The MK goddess.

2 boxes of ice cream sandwiches

One big tub of cool whip

1 Bag of heath bits

Layer a 9x13 pan w/ice cream sand then top with cool whip then heath bits and then repeat the layers. pretty easy !

Place back in the freezer until ready to eat.

The variations to the dessert are endless.

Pudding Filled Cupcake Christmas Tree

Prepare yellow cake mix according to package diretions for 24 cupcakes. Allow the cupcakes to completely cool on a cooling rack.

Meanwhile, prepare instant vanilla pudding using 1/4 cup less milk that recommended. Allow the pudding to set in the fridge for 5 minutes. Then whisk in one part Cool Whip to 2 parts pudding. It doesn't have to be exact. The Cool Whip makes the texture of the pudding so much more creamy.

Fill an icing bag with 1/2 the pudding, using a large hole icing tip. Fill each cupcake with the pudding until the tops of the cupcakes puff slightly.

Frost 21 cupcakes with green frosting & top with M&M's (or Smarties) & sprinkles. Frost 1 cupcake yellow with sprinkles and 2 with brown & top with chocolate sprinkles.

Assemble Christmas Tree on a cake board wrapped with festive paper.

Store in the fridge (because of the pudding) until ready to serve.
