Two months old and extra squishy these days 😍 h Two months old and extra squishy these days 😍 he’ll be my little pastry sous chef before we know it
We bought a variety pack of Halloween candy and I We bought a variety pack of Halloween candy and I can’t stop eating all the Almond Joys 🙈 there’s something about them this time of year for me! 🥥🤎👻This Almond Joy Cake recipe is an ode to my love for them: layers of tasty coconut cake, filled and frosted with coconut-almond buttercream + topped with decadent chocolate ganache and slivered almonds 🍫🥥🎂 if you’re a fan of these flavors, click the link in my bio for the full recipe! ✨
This pumpkin patch cake is a mashup of two differe This pumpkin patch cake is a mashup of two different cake designs I love: the layout from my cactus cake + the the piped pumpkin technique from my pumpkin layer cake recipe 🧡😍 I created an ombré buttercream “sky” with @americolor Wedgewood + Peacock, then sprinkled toasted chocolate cake crumbs around the bottom edge and on the top for the landscape 🍫✨The pumpkins were mostly @wiltoncakes tips 4B and 6B + I used tip 10 for the extra large ones. I may not have made it to the actual pumpkin patch this year but I LOVED getting back in the kitchen this past weekend and getting creative with a little sugar 🎉
Candy corn may be the most polarizing Halloween ca Candy corn may be the most polarizing Halloween candy of all time, but it makes for a fun cake design 🧡💛🤍 these iconic color blocks were created by rolling a buttercream cake in @wiltoncakes sugar sprinkles ✨ sounds nerve wracking, but as long as you follow the steps in my Candy Corn Cake tutorial you’ll probably find it exhilarating! 🎉 click the link in my bio for the full step-by-step + detailed video to see how it’s done 👻
This Golden Milk Layer Cake recipe is for the love This Golden Milk Layer Cake recipe is for the lovers of turmeric lattes and all things cozy 💛🎂it’s been on my recipe list for years and I am SO happy with how it turned out 🤩layers of spiced turmeric cake that are as tasty as they are pretty (swipe to see that brilliant natural color 😍) paired with delicious coconut buttercream - essentially a golden milk latte with coconut milk in cake form! ✨get the full recipe at the link in my bio if you’re looking to expand your Fall flavor palette 🍂 🍁
Another Halloween favorite 🎃👻 featuring @spr Another Halloween favorite 🎃👻 featuring @sprinklepop.shop “Monster Mashup” sprinkles, cotton candy, and pitch black buttercream ✨pro tips for achieving black buttercream with color gels: 1) use @americolor Super Black 🖤 it’s super concentrated so you don’t need to use a ton, and 2) start with chocolate buttercream🍫you’ll use WAY less color gel going from chocolate brown to black than going from a white buttercream to black (which is almost impossible in large quantities anyways)✨the full tutorial + video for this monster sprinkle cake design is in my bio in case you want a fun decorating project for Halloween! 🖤🥳
