Sweet Sixteen!

Remember my friend Heather, the one me and Sarah made the Kit Kat cake for? Well, her late sweet sixteen party was tonight, and me and Sarah spent all night yesterday ( 5 1/2 hours! while all Heather did was lick the bowls out...) baking her 2 kit kat cakes and a zillion cupcakes to serve her guests. It was a blast! I wasn't able to get pics of the full cakes, but I have a few leftovers I got to bring home to my family!


The cookies are white cake with Oreo crumbs baked into the batter, whipped cream frosting with Oreo in it. YUM!


This time we made the cake rectangular so we could feed more people, more efficiently. Worked out nice!

Kit Kat Kake: Happy Birthday to Heather!

This is the Kit Kat Kake that me and my friend Sarah made, for Heather.

Inside it's filled with chocolate buttercream and crushed Kit Kats:


Me and Sarah had a blast making this cake. Things really do come out better when from the heart. The cake is chocolate cake, filled with chocolate buttercream and crushed Kit Kats, topped with chocolate fudge icing and with Kit Kats "glued" to edges with more buttercream.

The cake was one of the best cakes I've ever had. My only regret is I only got a small piece because there were a lot of kids. (brought it to a youth get-together at my church) but the most important thing is Heather absolutely loved it.


She's so adorable! <3

The buttercream was SOO yummy in the middle!! And the cake was so fudgy! I always thought I didn't like chocolate cake but I've changed my mind. It's only the boxed cake mix that I don't like.(I love yellow and white box mixes)

Edit:
What do you do with leftover buttercream? Spread it on an Oreo, of course!


Yumm....perfect afternoon snack :)

Dinner Now, and Birthday Cake later

It was pretty warm today so Dad got out the grill and started some ribs. He let me season 'em and help glaze them. Not without supervision, of course.


Daddy grilling. Isn't he cute?


My Awesome Fluff-ball friend Sarah came over to help me bake a a birthday cake for my friend Heather (who is also Sarah's sister, she's a year older than Sarah.) She's turning 16 on Wednesday! Her favorite candy is Kit Kat, and she's obsessed with chocolate. We baked all day and I think we came up with a good cake. Will post tonight, after we've all tried it. Kit Kats and chocolate cake...where can you go wrong?
Just look at this for now:
