CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH MALTED CHOCOLATE ICING Roopa This cake is from a while ago, but I was looking through my old pictures and remembered how much I like the basketweave design. I used this cake recipe and this icing recipe. To date, the malted chocolate is one of my favourite kinds of icing!
Roopa It was my friend Clara’s birthday a little while ago, and upon my insistence that I make her a cake, she requested anything with cream cheese icing. I decided to go with a lemon cake because – let’s be honest – lemon is kind of amazing. I wasn’t feeling that well when I made … More Lemon Cake with Lemon Cream Cheese Icing
Roopa It was my friend Chris’ birthday, and I wanted to make something kind of creative. I decided on a beach volleyball cake, since it’s April, which means it’s almost not cold outside. Almost. It was a chocolate cake with salted caramel icing – I figured that if the execution sucked, the cake should at … More Beach Volleyball Cake
Roopa It’s my old dance teacher Holly’s birthday tonight, and my other teacher Suzanne asked if I could bring cupcakes to class. They were basically the best teachers ever, so obviously I said yes. I don’t really have a good way to make a single oversized cupcake, so I opted for a mini cake with … More Chocolate Cake with Salted Caramel Icing
Chocolate Mini Bundt with Cream Cheese Icing Roopa I had some leftover batter, and made a mini bundt along with some cupcakes. The recipe is over with the original post here.

I adapted a recipe off of Sprinklebakes, and went with a malted chocolate filling rather than a strawberry filling. I didn’t actually eat any – I had a bad experience with cheesecake once – but apparently it was … More No-Bake Malted Chocolate Cheesecake
Roopa It’s my sister’s birthday this weekend, and she requested a vanilla chocolate cake with salted caramel icing. And Rolos. There were…issues with this cake, but I think I salvaged it ok! I didn’t really feel like doing a marble cake, so I thought I’d do a chocolate chip vanilla. I used my go to … More Vanilla Chocolate-Chip Rolo Cake with Salted Caramel Icing
Alana Finally, the perfect opportunity to use my giant cupcake pan presented itself. My friend Jocleyn is moving to Vancouver soon, and her birthday is just around the corner. She said either cupcakes or a cake would be great, so I figured both would be the best option. The flavour request was Guinness beer cake, … More Giant Stout Cupcake
I am a little bit sad that I have not been able to experiment nearly as much with my baking in recent days. Firstly, after a glorious summer of unemployment, I actually have a job now. Employment sort of cuts into time. On top of that, a lot of the baking I’ve been doing has been … More Carrot Cake with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Icing
CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER CAKE Roopa My friend’s birthday is tomorrow, and he requested some sort of chocolate peanut butter concoction. I made a chocolate peanut butter cake with honey vanilla filling (from my cupcakes yesterday) and hid the questionable icing job with lots of Reese’s cups. I used this chocolate cake recipe, this peanut butter icing recipe, and this honey vanilla … More Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake
