As life goes by, I find that it's too short to be stuck with a tasteless cake from the grocery store. Instead, I'll bake a tasty treat to enjoy and share with family and friends. When you've had a piece of my cake, you'll remember it and ask for it again!

Caramel Apple Cupcakes
Think back through your childhood memories of fall and Halloween, and I'm sure that somewhere in there, you remember biting into a sticky, sweet caramel apple. The bliss of eating one is replicated here with a cupcake.
The cupcake has a mixture of fresh apples, frosted with a brown sugar icing, topped with a caramel glaze and a variety of sprinkles. Pecans, candy corn, and Halloween sprinkles top these cupcakes. Don't let the stick fool you, you'll need a fork to eat these gooey yet yummy treats!

Pumpkin Pie Cake
Don't you just love fall and all the tastes it brings? One of the most popular flavors this time of year is pumpkin. And with Thanksgiving soon approaching, pumpkin pie is an American tradition.
This year, let's shake it up a bit and instead of the usual pumpkin pie with a dollop of Cool Whip, why not serve a Pumpkin Pie Cake topped with either a cinnamon buttercream or cream cheese frosting?
Here is the Pumpkin Pie Cake in three different styles:

Irish Cream Cake
Wanting a decadent dessert for your next get together? Look no further! This is a three-layer 8" round Irish Cream cake frosted with Irish Cream buttercream. Decorated with fondant cutouts using my Cricut Cake tool.
Chocolate Kahlua Cake
This is a two layer 8" round chocolate Kahlua cake using my new Cricut Cake to make the decorations. Frosted with a mocha buttercream. This was a lot of fun to make! And it tastes heavenly. You can have this cake with either using actual Kahlua, or if you prefer it to not have alcohol in it, I can make it using espresso powder instead and it is just as yummy. This also makes a great bundt cake with a simple Kahlua glaze.
