Safari Birthday Cake

Well here is one of the reasons I couldn't par take in the Daring bakers challenge last month. The weekend I decided I would do it I ended up having this cake to do :) It was well fuuuun.... Moved to a new place with a very small oven... very small... haha I mean one 12 inch round at a time. One sheet cake at a time... it was brutal. I made a 12 inch round chocolate filled with Bavarian Creme, a 9 inch round filled with cream cheese icing, and a 9 x 13 inch sheet cake filled in cream cheese icing. I only have a picture of the the rounds. I used the Triple chocolate devils food cake from "The Cake Bible" and the Baravarian Creme. I then used the big bills carrot cake from "Baking from my home to yours". I was a bit worried about the carrot cake since the batter was a bit soupy. But it baked perfectly flat which was nice even with out the bake even strips. The chocolate cake recipe fill one 12 inch round by 2 inch high cake pan. The carrot cake recipe filled two 9 inch pans and half of one 9 x 13 inch pan. If anyone wants the recipes just leave a comment and I will get it to you some how. I don't feel like gettin in trouble for posting them on here.
here are some photos

Chocolate Chip Cookies Anna olson style

I used a Anna Olson recipe it was really good. I didn't , change anything.. usually for the first time I don't change anything. Anyways I don't even know why I am blogging this... but they were good and worth telling about:p

Fathers Day cake

Well I had orignally planned on making a cake that looked like a steak. But I kept adding red and more red and it wouldnt go dark enough(my dad was on his way so that gives me 20 mins or so to finish it.) So it is a heart. My dad said it was cute. Ha Ha...

I used a chocolate marble cake recipe I found via google.( if you want the recipe just msg me with your email and I will send it to you.




My photos arent very good because it is a camera phone.. I have not gotten around to buying a new one after mine got stolen. Anyways, I used a marshmello fondant and the first butter cream recipe they suggested at this http://whatscookingamerica.net/PegW/Fondant.htm.

It turned out pretty good. I don't think I will try to make fondant again it was pretty messy, Maybe for my boyfriends birthday or you know a special occasion. The butter cream was a little salty, next time I will add less salt... And of course I will work on my piping skills:p.

Nanaimo Bars

They were great everyone loved them, the recipe called for ALOT of sugar soo I didnt add all of it because after 2 and a half it was getting rather thick... maybe I did something wrong or miscounted... either way everyone at home loved them. I gave some to my boyfriend to take to work and he admitted to eating most of them him self... ha ha.. oh well... At work they were a hit. They wanted me to make more, but I think making something else is a little more satisfying. The recipe I used was from the food network I think... I will have to dig it up when I get home.
