Chocolate cupcakes 2 ways
I have a request to make chocolate cupcakes for a little gathering tomorrow. My lady friend said chocolate when I asked what flavor she wants me to make. I kept thinking on how to elevate the request. Somehow the thought about making “just” chocolate cupcakes sounds boring to me. Don’t get me wrong, I love…
Red Velvet Cake – no cream cheese
Ok don’t get me wrong. I have no problem with Red Velvet Cake with cream cheese frosting. However, since my mother in law introduced me with a different frosting for red velvet years back, we (me and husband) prefer this frosting.

Pumpkin Rules
Pumpkins in the air I am not a fan of pumpkin before I tried a pumpkin roll cake with cream cheese that my co-worker made for Thanksgiving last year at work. It was soft, moist and the creaminess of the cream cheese was oh so good. She is a baker, a good baker while me..not…
