Nutella Cheesecake


Made a regular Cheesecake recipe, only I added an entire 13oz container of Nutella. Make sure you add time when baking or the center will not cook all the way through. Chocolate graham cracker crust, and Chocolate ganache top with crushed Ferraro Rochet chocolates.
I made this for my friend Chris and when he saw it, I had never seen such an excited look on anyone's face. It was Awesome!! :)

Basket Cake... Not basket case xD


I made this for one of my 5th graders at youth group. I being a leader made this with my best friend who is also a leader. We saw it on the internet and had to make it!! Really super easy. Just make your favorite cake (in our case chocolate with chocolate frosting!!) and then after you frost it, stick a bunch of kit kats on the outside. Then make a pretty ribbon to tie around them so they don't fall (and it makes the cake THAT much more adorable xD) Finally top with a BUNCH of M&M's. Its hard to cut, but really cool to look at.

Charmander Cake


I made this cake for my "Big Brother" Matt. I drew a Charmander template and made 2 cakes. One cake I cut like Charmander, the other stayed a whole cake. I frosted the whole cake and put Charmander on top and frosted him. I drew the eyes on paper and put them on top because I had no more chocolate frosting xD. I used sprinkles for the mouth, teeth, and fingers. Made the banner with wooden skewers and a piece of paper. The candle placement was genius :D

Squirtle Cupcake Sculpture


My cousin's and I's creation. Marzipan used for glasses, tail and mouth. Sprinkles used for nose and toes.
Chocolate frosting with vanilla added for color of shell. Food coloring and Vanilla frosting for the blue.
