Kahlua & Creme

These Kahlua & Creme babycakes were done today for a special Girls Night Out Birthday party. A Kahlua soaked dark chocolate cake with a Kahlua butter cream frosting topped with chocolate drizzle. I know right??? Enjoy!

So Hard to Say Goodbye...

Next to my passion for baking is my passion for working with youth. I truly love what I do (in every aspect) While my director (at the time) Meredith decided to move on to a new position, we couldn't let her go without giving her some specialty babycakes. These were vanilla bean babycakes with vanilla buttercream frosting topped with mini chocolate chips drizzled with caramel. Something super sweet for such a sweet woman. Check out some of my students enjoying them too!!!

Lumiere Rouge

My sister and her husband decided to throw a fantastic Halloween soiree. It was exclusive and very, very fun. Lumiere Rouge (Red Light) was the theme. They decided to do a sexy theme instead of a scary one. Of course a party wouldn't be a party without baby cakes!!! (black) Chocolate baby cakes with black swirled vanilla cream cheese frosting and (orange) lemon baby cakes with (orange) lemon butter cream frosting and black sprinkles. I thought it would be fun to be a killer bee with a weapon of a rolling pin! ha! We did a cute little swarm of different bees. What a blast!!!!

Lady Diva Inc. held their first annual dinner. This is an organization geared toward empowering young women through mentoring, education and the arts. Bake Sweet Love was a proud sponsor for this event of 200 plus people. The turn out was fantastic and the baby cakes were a hit! We did 100 chocolate baby cakes with chocolate butter cream frosting and 100 french vanilla baby cakes with Dulce de Leche butter cream frosting. These are the before and almost after. The official "after" was a completely empty table. :-)

Sweet 30

This year (February) I turned 30. I decided to have 3 celebrations in a different city. Where I'm from, where I've been and where I am now. So, I did NYC, D.C and Detroit. It was fantastic. The last and final party was celebrated in Detroit. 2 of my best friends who share close birthdays with me were also guest of honors. Joi (one of the birthday girls) and myself had been working on how we were going to display the Baby Cakes that we knew we wanted for the party. We got inspired by a picture that we saw online. So we decided to choose that as our dessert theme. Our colors were fuchsia and black. Bake Sweet Love did 125 (black) chocolate orange Baby Cakes with (fuchsia)orange/lemon butter cream frosting. There was a mini cake with vanilla fondant on the top of the tier. At the bottom, we did dark chocolate chip cookie treat bags. Everything was a hit!!!

Nutty Buddy

Growing up I was close with all of my siblings. My second oldest brother and I got especially close throughout high school. He drove me to school and looked out for his freshman sister while he was a senior.We were each others buddies. Literally, we came up with the endearing term "buddy" for one another. Even through college (we went to the same one) once again he took care of his freshman sister while he was a big bad senior. lol. Even years later, we still use that term. It's a little nutty but nice. These are my Peanut Buddy Cookies with a little twist. I did a milk chocolate drizzle over them for my chocolate lovers. A great chunky peanut butter cookie any day of the week.
