Since Theodor Seuss Geisel’s birthday is coming up on March 2nd, I wanted to share these super cute Cat in the Hat cupcakes I made for a classroom celebration last year.

The hats and Thing 1/Thing 2 discs were made from homemade marshmallow fondant.  I rolled out red and white fondant fairly thin and cut little *donut* shapes with the big end of my piping tips. Then I stacked them on a bigger white disc with a bit of water to act as *glue* to look like hats.  A bit tedious, but I think they came out great!

The cupcakes were vanilla and chocolate, each one with an Oreo cookie surprise baked inside.  I piped on light blue vanilla buttercream to look like the crazy hair sported by Thing 1 and Thing 2 in the story.  I also added some red and white sprinkles just for fun!

This year Theodor Geisel fans celebrates his being 112 years young at heart…we love you Dr. Seuss!

Made  these for a First Communion party a few weeks ago.  The customer wanted 4 dozen cupcakes forming a blue cross with yellow rays. We varied the flavors so everyone could get their favorite (double chocolate cake with Oreo centers and sour cream vanilla cake filled with caramel).  It made a beautiful centerpiece for the dessert table.

With an abundance of Oreo cookies in our house at the moment, I’ve been looking for a good cupcake recipe to use them up.  I think I found one!  I mixed up a batch of  decadent double-chocolate cupcakes with an Oreo cookie baked right in.

I managed to find a little more room inside for rich chocolate mousse and frosted them with vanilla-bean buttercream frosting mixed with crushed cookies.  An extra cookie on top makes them my kids’ favorite so far.  So much chocolate, so little time…Where’s the milk?!Y11_6242

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!
