Update and Heart-Shaped Coconut Cake

Well.. It's been a looong time since I baked anything or posted on here but I'm baaaack! I found out last June that I was pregnant and even though I always wanted my own baked goods, I never felt like baking. She was born February 13, 2013 at 8:27pm and weighed in at 6lbs. 12ozs. and is the happiest baby I've ever met. I'll post a couple pictures of her below.

Back to baking; I made a coconut cake for someone last night using a recipe I found online that includes coconut milk in the batter mixture and features coconut flakes on the icing. Well here I go, mixing the butter, sugar, eggs, doing everything I should be doing but oops! I forgot to switch out the regular milk for coconut milk. So here I go again! I make sure to use the right milk, I bake both layers (even though it calls for 3 I just split it into 2) and wait for them to cool. I didn't feel like making any icing so I just bought Pillsbury White icing and used that. I topped it with the flakes which, by the way, I don't remember being so difficult to put on the sides of the cake from the last time I made this cake, and boxed it up!

I tasted the batter and it's always delicious so I hope I have a very satisfied customer! Oh and Happy Birthday to her! Thank you, as always, for taking the time to read this and hopefully for having an interest in my products. I know I don't have many (if any) readers so any that I do have are very much appreciated!

This was the day after Easter Sunday.

Vicki's Baby Shower Cake

Hello!! :) So I made Vicki's baby shower cake/cupcakes today and it turned out awesome!! I used the chocolate cake recipe that is on the Hershey's Unsweetened Cocoa and it was delicious! :)

I made a normal round double-layered cake and used white frosting that I bought (Pillsbury) and colored that a light blue. I used my huge decorations tip to cover the cake and that always works wonderfully! It makes frosting the cake so much easier.

Before all of that, I'd rolled some different sized fondant balls and then painted them with edible pearl glaze to give them a shine. I placed a rubber ducky on top of the frosted cake and then put the fondant bubble balls onto it. It looked adorable! Then I frosted all the cupcakes and put a Peep chick on each of those. The only thing I regret is making the cake so tall. I put the "bubbles" on the cake and closed the box lid and it was too tall and pushed them into the cake somewhat! I was so upset but it still turned out awesome! I got there extremely late but I still think she loved it!

Thank you for reading!
