The smell of cranberries, corn, stuffing, and turkey. Thanksgiving day is finally here. What Thanksgiving feast would be complete without dessert?
Every year I always try to make something that is very unique, yet somewhat traditional. At the same time, I also notice that there is someone that always buys a pumpkin pie from a supermarket. There is almost no love when meals are purchased on Thanksgiving day, plus it’s more fun to make everything.
This year, I decided to make a pumpkin cheesecake. To me, it’s different, but still resembles a …

I made this cake last month, but I forgot to post it.
Honestly, this cake was one of the cakes that I spent the least amount of effort on. I regret not taking more time.
It’s my standard recipe for a chocolate cake, which is good, but the decoration could have been so much better.
The idea behind the decorating was great. My father always wears a dress shirt. Whether it’s freezing cold, or a really hot summer day, he is still wearing a dress shirt. The only time he doesn’t wear a …

I rarely get the chance to make a cake like this one. I had so much fun making it.
I made this cake at someone’s request for their birthday and tried my best to really tailor it.
At first glance, it looks like a strawberry shortcake or a really extravagant white cake. Once you cut into it, it’s a whole different story. It’s actually a coffee cake. Correction. It’s two layers of chocolate, coffee, and cinnamon. The frosting was also custom made with coffee, cinnamon, and some vanilla. Because there were going …

It’s finally mothers’ day again. Because of school, I had to do something a little less extravagant this year. I’ve been watching a lot of TV and I’ve been seeing many mothers’ day-ish commercials. What they all have in common is flowers. I’m pretty sure my dad will get a last minute gift from a flower shop.

POUND CAKE!!! Who can say no to pound cake? Pound cake is sold in almost all supermarkets in the frozen food section. Why enjoy it from the freezer when you can enjoy it straight from the oven? Because the batter for pound cake is thicker than most, I tend to use a budnt pan so everything cooks evenly.
Why is this cake good for your soul? Two words… Full Buttermilk.

Yay!!! I have made it to 22. The best part about being 18 years old
is making it to 21. I’ve past 21, so I think I’m doing ok. This is a
very normal looking cake for me, maybe a little too normal. Originally
I was going to make a red converse sneaker, but I didn’t have much
time to work with. The cake is made from two layers of chocolate cake
with strawberries in between, strawberry icing, and strawberries and
kiwis on the top (I think you get the hint that I like strawberries
and kiwis). …

I made this Spiderman and Venom cake for my first nephew. He loves Spiderman and he is turning three. So, I decided to make him a cake that looks like a Spiderman 3 movie poster.
Before you say anything, let me say this, I know the drawing is crooked. Give me a break! I free handed everything on this cake. I didn’t know how to trace pictures onto a cake. The most challenging part of this cake was making the face for Spiderman. Why did I decide to go the extra …

Merry Christmas!!! Here is the cake that I made for Christmas. Originally, I was
supposed to make a tree, but I felt like doing something easy. When I wrap real
gifts, I always use Ghirardelli chocolates as bows. It gives the receiver
something to look forward to if they flat out hate my gift to them. We got a
yogo for the ribbon, Ghirardellis for the bow, sweet tart candy canes for the
edges, and “red” frosting.

The Hello Kitty cake that I made was for my niece. She was only 2, so I had no idea what she was into, so I decided to make her a cake that looked like something all girls like. Me being a male, I had a really hard time with Hello Kitty.
I have made the envy of all birthday cakes for younger girls and some older women. This is a 99.99999999% edible Hello Kitty cake. The only thing not edible on Hello Kitty is the toothpick holding the bow together.
I …
