Chocolate, chocolate mousse filling, double chocolate cake, hot chocolate cupcake, hot cocoa, marshmallow, peppermint, peppermint mocha frosting

One of the most popular yet, this yummy delight starts with moist double-chocolate cake filled with a sinfully rich chocolate mousse.  Topped with peppermint-mocha buttercream, crushed peppermint candy canes, and tiny marshmallows, it’s like enjoying the richest cup of cocoa with a candy cane swizzle stick!  They are always the first to go!

butterfly, Chocolate, cookie pops, flower, fondant, lemon curd, mushroom

Leading up to my daughter’s 2nd birthday, we were enjoying a lovely Spring and I wanted butterflies and flowers! So I made them, along with purple spotted mushrooms, from pastel-colored fondant.  They liberally covered her 2-tiered round cake  (chocolate and lemon cake layers with a lemon curd filling, covered with a mint buttercream frosting).

Chocolate and lemon cupcakes were given as party gifts, along with decorated flowerpots with flower and butterfly cookie  pops.  Happy birthday, my little butterfly!

Bunny, Easter, marshmallow

I made these a few years ago for my son’s class Easter party.  They were a HUGE hit with the kids, especially the marshmallow bunny ears!  I think I’ll make them again this year, they were so cute.

About Me

Life is crazy and I love to bake. I'm a wife, mother of 3 nutty kids, and an admitted sugar-holic. Ten years ago I left my job as a senior consulting engineer in Salt Lake City, UT, to get out of the rat race and raise kids. We up and moved to a quiet, small town in NE Ohio to be near family and bought a 180-yr-old historic home, always a dream of mine. Along the way, I discovered my joy of baking, which allows both my engineering side and my oft-suppressed creative side to emerge. It began with the desire to bake birthday cakes for my kids (I hated to buy them) and has blossomed into a cupcake-baking business for a local bakery. Over the years, many people have asked if I take orders. So, here they are. Check out the site, we'll be adding new cupcake flavors weekly as well as the occasional cake. And in case you're wondering about the name, it's an homage to the big, old gray barn in my back yard. What a bonus, it came with the house! Put on a smile and BAKE!
