Well, the title pretty much says it all, right? Warning, this is a picture heavy post, so if you’re on a slow connection, be forewarned that it could take a while to load.

Double Chocolate Cupcakes

Tuesday, February 16th, 2010

Ok, so I’m a bit late this week, and I don’t really have a whole lot to say about this week’s cake, either.  I don’t really have pictures, either, because my front USB port is being taken up by my iPod, which is getting a firmware upgrade, and I don’t feel like crawling around behind my computer to plug into another port for a couple of not-terribly interesting pictures. If you want to see how it’s supposed to look, go look at Marie’s blog. I made this week’s cake as cupcakes, partly because Jay seems more inclined to eat the leftovers if they’re in cupcake form, and partly because we had friends over for a bonfire on Saturday night, and I thought throwing cupcake wrappers on the fire would be a little more convenient than losing plates in the snow.

Chocolate Tweed Angel Food Cake

Monday, January 25th, 2010

This week’s heavenly cake choice is an angel food cake with a twist. Most angel food cakes I’ve made in the past have been almost flavourless, but not Rose’s recipe! This cake was really quick & easy to put together, though apparently the trick is in the baking. The most time consuming part for me was grating all the chocolate.

Chocolate Streusel Coffee Cupcakes

Sunday, January 10th, 2010

This week’s ‘heavenly’ cake selection is the chocolate streusel coffee cake. The recipe makes a 6 cup bundt pan and two cupcakes. I looked at that, and thought “If the excess batter can be made into cupcakes, why shouldn’t I make the whole thing as cupcakes? Saves me finding a 6 cup pan.” Then I kept reading and realized Rose suggests the very same as an option. :)

Holiday Log Cake

Tuesday, December 29th, 2009

This week’s cake for the heavenly cake bakers was the Holiday Pinecone Cake. I decided early on that I was going to make a holiday log, rather than a pine cone, because I wanted to make meringue mushrooms to go with it. This post is late, and rushed, because I’m at my parents’ for the holidays. Between computer problems yesterday and running around helping Mom out with various things today, I haven’t had time to write this up. Sorry for the lack of details or clever commentary (not that you normally find clever commentary here, anyway)!
