Best Brownies EVER

Normally, I am not a big fan of chocolate. So, when my best friend requested brownies for her birthday instead of cake (I know, she's crazy) I looked high and low for a good recipe. I found this recipe from allrecipes.com and they were soooo good, I even ate several of them. I topped them with Chocolate Cream Cheese buttercream - do we see a trend here??

Brownie Recipe:
8 oz. semi-sweet chocolate
1 cup butter
Melt in pan on low, set aside.

5 eggs
3 cups sugar
1 TB vanilla
Mix (hopefully you have a stand mixer) on high for 10 minutes. Very important, don't cheat on the time.

While egg mixture is mixing, sift together 1-1/2 cups of flour and 1 tsp of salt. Set aside. After the ten minutes is up, add the chocolate mixture and flour mixtures one at a time and mix until just incorporated. Pour into the pan of your choice (I used a square 10"x2" pan) and bake on 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes. Now - enjoy!

Happy Birthday!

So I did a terrible thing recently - I turned 30! Ok, ok, not so terrible. It was actually very fun and I made myself my most favorite cake - Angel Food with Raspberry Cream Cheese Buttercream (I know!) and topped in wispy whipping cream. It was divine to say the least!

Darling wedding cupcakes

Ever wonder what 23 dozen cupcakes looks like? These were yummy spice cake with cream cheese frosting, cream filled chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream and vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream. I didn't get to see the display at the wedding but I am sure it was beautiful!

A little silly

I know it's a little "risque" but this cake was pretty fun to make :) For my best friend's husband to take to work. . . hope they all liked it! It was marble cake with a yummy chocolate cream cheese frosting under the fondant.

Dino Birthday!

This cake was for one of my favorite little girl's birthday. Her mom gave me the idea from howdini.com and I think it turned out rather cute! It was lemon cake with a lemon cream cheese frosting. Happy Birthday Kori!
