Sunflower English Toffee Pound Cake

English toffee pound cake! I used my regular pound cake recipe but substituted Bailey's Irish Creme for the vanilla and added two crushed Heath bars to the batter. However, next time I think I need 3 bars instead of two and I think I will run them through the food processor to make fine crumbs that will just add flavor. I think I didn't crush them fine enough this time and many of the pieces settled to the bottom! It was still very good, I just think it needs more "toffee" flavor. Then I just did a simple basket weave and added sunflowers made from buttercream frosting.

Toffee pound cake

I have been thinking about something for awhile! I make a lot of cakes but they are always "for" something! I want to make a cake just for "fun"! And I love my lb cake recipe but I also would like to switch it up a little. So, this weekend I am going to try putting some shaved chocolate and heath bar pieces in the batter and add a little Irish Cream to it, sort of an English toffee pound cake (except I guess it would be "Irish Toffee") hahahahahaha! Then I'm going to decorate it with sunflowers! We'll see how it turns out!!

Pink and Black Country Music Cake

This years birthday cake for my daughter! She wanted pink and black with a country western theme! I did the hat, boots and guitar out of fondant and uses some glitter gel too. This was the first time I tried a high humidity recipe for frosting and I wish I had used it before because it worked so much better than usual this time of year!

Beach By the Sea Lighthouse Cake.jpg

My daughter wanted a beach theme cake for her birthday so I made a layer cake and topped it with a "lighthouse" baked in a deep and narrow copper mold that had the riht shape to it. This was my first experience working with home made marshmallow fondant and while it tasts way better than the store bought it is MUCH harder to work with, unless I did something wrong that is, LOL! I used brown sugar for the "sand", the bottom of the cake was REALLY sweet hahahahaha!

Carousel Baby Shower Cake

This Baby shower cake was made for a friend at my church. The top was baked in a pyrex bowl and the spindle on the top was actually made by molding fondant into a sea shell candy mold and then put together. I used my wedding cake separators and found baby carriage favors at the dollar store.
