How to Make a Barbie Cake / Princess Cake
June 4, 2013 by
Who doesn’t love Barbie?!?! For a couple of minutes we can put aside all of the controversy and the thoughts of whether an anatomically correct Barbie would be as loved by today’s society as she currently is, and just enjoy the icon that is Barbie. Whatever your opinion on Barbie, she has managed to withstand the test of time and continues to run rampent in elementary schools . . . in Cranbrook at least! We’ve always been about 10 years behind current trends, so maybe Barbie is passe. Oh well, I’ll add an edited note to this post in 10 years if that is the case.
Now, lets move to putting Barbie in a cake . . . and make a Barbie cake! If you want to replace the barbie with another type of doll, change away! Any doll will work with this design. If you do not have a doll pick, and want to put an actual Barbie in the cake (who has money to do that?!?), after baking the cake, you will need to carve out the center of the cake, wrap Barbie in syran wrap (make sure she’s clean) and follow the same decorating steps as I show you in the video.
How to Make Cheesecake Cake Pops
June 2, 2013 by
This is the third video/post in our series on Cheesecake!! YUM!! These Cheesecake Cake Pops are the PERFECT bite sized treat to indulge in . . . a tiny taste at a time. They are the perfect amount of cheesecake for a small taste, or to finish off a big dinner.
This cheesecake cake pop recipe is based off our homemade cheesecake recipe. Cheesecake pops are a fun way to jazz-up plain old cheesecake … great for parties and get-togethers!
Chocolate Chip Mug Cake (Microwave Cake)
May 26, 2013 by
This is one of the few things that I have remade after making it for the purposes of filming. It’s that good. A day in the life of a foodie YouTuber consists of practicing a recipe, tweeking it, filming it, and taking pictures of it. Rarely, and I mean rarely do we (Paul and I) actually eat what I make. (Obviously if you’ve seen me recently I been doing my fair share of eating!!–insert self deprecating talk here blah, fat, blah, ugly) I love my cheesecake but other than that, after having made hundreds of cakes over the last three years, the idea of eating a piece of cake does not appeal to me one bit.
This recipe is the exception.
Normally, at the end of picture taking, we donate the food we’ve made and carry on to the next idea. But, with this recipe, I ate the entire mug cake, AND half of Paul’s! It is soooo good. And a word of advice, if you underbake it **just** a little bit it comes out super gooey and ooey. I’m salivating thinking about it right now. HOLD ME BACK FROM THE MICROWAVE!!!!!!
After I ate 1.5 mugs of this Chocolate Chip cake, I was definitely full of chocolate. Until the next day when I had another one. Oops.
I’m not allowed to microwave cakes anymore.
How to Cover a Square Cake with Fondant – Video
April 5, 2013 by
In this video we’ll show you how to cover a square cake with Satin Ice fondant. I have found that using Satin Ice fondant is the best for covering cakes. It is soft enough to roll out large amounts but sturdy enough to not have to worry about tears, cracks or bubbles.
How to Make Camouflage Cupcakes
November 3, 2012 by
I have learned to accept the fact that I live in an area of the world that some might call “red neck”. When P and I first got together, one of our first dates was to go out shooting (with a BB gun). It was a big deal, since I had never held any sort of gun before. I’m sure he thought about running from me as soon as he heard I hadn’t grown up in a hunting family. . . “What did you DO when you were growing up?”
Black Velvet Cake: Halloween Cake
October 11, 2012 by
I’m going to get a little disgusting for a minute. So stop reading if you don’t want to be grossed out.
If you eat this, your poop will be green.
I warned you!
This cake is a play on a Red Velvet cake, but instead of red, we’re using the black dye for the cake! It’s perfect for a spooky Halloween cake . . . which is bound to impress your family, guests, or coworkers.
But remember, if you don’t want to be asked uncomfortable whispered questions in the hallway at work, “Um, Jenn? Was there something in that cake that… maybe…might have…um…?”.

Black Velvet Cake, Part 2
In this part of the cake series, we use the Cricut Cake! **Curses** Now, as you may know, my Cricut Cake can be slightly temperamental, but, thanks to the beauty of video, it appears flawlessly executed! If you are currently “bargaining” with your Cricut Cake, YOU WILL GET THROUGH IT!! In this video, we are using Photofrost Icing Sheets which we airbrushed black to match the cake theme of bats and Halloween.
The beauty of using the Cricut with icing sheets is that they tend to travel through the Cricut smoother and is cut easier than a fondant/gum paste mixture. It is more like true paper. Using the icing sheets makes for less time spent rolling, setting up, tearing, re-rolling, re-setting….etc!
