This year for Easter my mum jokingly told me I should bring a bunny cake, which is the dessert my brother and I often made for Easter as kids. Little did she know, I was going to take her up on that suggestion. 😂 This cake was as much fun to make as I remembered,…

Honey Bee Cupcakes
Are these not the cutest cupcakes ever? When my sister in law said that she wanted to do a Winnie the Pooh theme for my niece’s birthday, I knew honey bees had to be a part of it, but since we were already decorating a cake, we went a little simpler with the cupcakes… Thankfully…
Chocolate Cake Roll
When I made my first cake roll for Easter, I failed to get it rolled as tightly as I would’ve liked. I had extra pattern batter left over, so I figured I might as well try again. For the second cake, I made a chocolate sponge cake, applied a more elaborate decoration (again inspired by…
