Keep Calm and Eat Cake

Chocolate Cake with Raspberries and Passion Fruit    at KISS in the Kitchen

Cheats Chocolate Cake

I woke up this morning with 'cake' on my mind (not an unusual occurance!) and decided I needed to make Annabel a birthday cake.

She is popping in this lunchtime, so it had to be something quick and easy to make.

Ta da!  Thanks goodness for Betty Crocker :-)

This is a Devil's Food Cake mix, covered with a tub of chocolate buttercream style icing.

I used chocolate fingers around the sides (it took 2 packets), icing flowers and a champagne bottle candle.

Sweet Sunday

Hope you're all having a great weekend, we have had torrential rain here today, so we haven't ventured outdoors - even the dog hasn't wanted to go out!! Here's the results of yesterdays baking... no recipes needed because everything is pretty basic.

vanilla Cupcakes with some pretty iced flowers and sprinkles,

Chocolate cake - I think I over whipped the buttercream, but shhhhh no-one has noticed and there are only 2 pieces left!!!

Iced Coffee Cake - I found this cake pan in the bottom of my cupboard - I obviously couldn't resist those little hearts. I managed to squeeze half a cake recipe into it and then just drizzled it with icing. Not pretty, I think the icing sould be thinner, but yummy !!

Aaaaaaaggggghhhhhh is anyone else having problems with photo uploader in the new editor??
It just won't upload pics from my comp and sits there spinning away. I have gone back to the old editor and that seems to be working ok, but I like the features on the new one.
Hope it's sorted out soon.
