Here's to You!

Here's to all the great cake, bake and sweet site's I've stumbled across so far!

Bakerella

These Cupcakes a re so adorable! Gives me great ideas for cupcake designs! I believe the beginning of the cupcake bites came from Bakerella.

Cake Journal

Cupcakes everywhere! They're so cute!
You've got to have a steady hand to make things that cute! Excellent tutorials if i do say so myself, im planning on trying to MMF recipe!

Cupcakes take the Cake

There's something adorable about clothing with cupcakes on them. Cupcakes take the Cake is the perfect place to go for news on amazing cupcakes around the place!

Cake Central

Cake decorating competitions to the max. Current one is a pillow cake contest.Some of these are absolutely amazing. The skill!

Cake on the Brain

This blog, is so interesting. Not only cake, but all different types of food.
Mostly Asian style from what I've seen. But the picture above is Low-Carb Milk Tea Jelly. I'm very tempted to try it one day.


So many sweets, so little time!

Coffee and Kaluha Balls!

Is there a better mix then Coffee and Kaluha?


Yes! Coffee and Kaluha Balls!










These were the favourite so far. No big surprise really.


Interesting fact, the Kaluha doesn't seem to cook out as much as if you were actually cooking with it opposed to baking.


I found they weren't as moist as the very first ones i did, the Choc on Choc Balls. I haven't had a chance to try them yet! This week I can't have alcohol. So I'll definately be making more!





Stay tuned for more Cake Bites. I have a feeling Green Peppermint is next!


Following by Cherry Brandy Bites and Orange Jaffa Balls!

Cake Bites

I discovered this amazing idea. It's taking off in America and UK.

Cake Balls.


I prefer to call mine Cake Bites. It has less of a chance for my co-workers to crack jokes.

The first ones i made a few weeks ago, unfortunately I didn't take photos. And they were the best ones yet too!

None the less, the second attempt was still much enjoyed by collegues. And my partner!





I call them - Pink Vanilla Bites

They began as an experiment. Unfortunately I couldn't find a cherry essence. I was planning on making A sweet cherry bite. I tried instead using the juices from a can of Cherries and a few crushed cherries. But using a vanilla cake mix, i was destined to have vanilla.

Plus adding the Vanilla Frosting just covered up any trace of Cherry flavor.


The interesting thing is, two people that tried them. One from my work place and one from my partner's work place. Both though they tasted like Cherry. Probably because they were red inside!

Cook For A Cause

Recently someone told me a story that was quite horrible. A person voluntarily choose to take their pet cat to the RSPCA to be put down. It's horrible because there was nothing wrong with the cat. So I thought to myself. This sort of thing happens every day, and it shouldn't.
What can i do to help?







Cupcake Day. 17th August. RSPCA.
http://www.rspcacupcakeday.com.au/
That's what i can do to help.


Sell as many cupcakes as you can and donate the money to the RSPCA. For those not from Australia, the RSPCA stands for Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
I'm thinking, because I only work in a very small business. Not really enough people to sell cupcakes and raise alot. I might make cupcakes and sell the from the 1st of August to the 17th.
Hopefully i can build a fan base up quick enough! It's a great cause.
