Cookies and cream birthday cupcakes…What could be more fun?! Rich chocolate cake with an Oreo baked right in.  Topped with creamy Oreo cookie buttercream, cookie crumbles, and a mini Oreo cookie on top (these things are just TOO cute!).  Easy to take to school as a treat with individual, personalized packaging.  What better way to say “Happy Birthday!” ?

My most popular cake to date…who knew?   When I created this design back in February, I had no idea it would become such a huge hit!  Since then, I’ve revised the figures a bit and replaced the fondant top with buttercream, but essentially it’s the same double-chocolate 3-layer cake (or pick your favorite flavor) covered with creamy chocolate buttercream and crushed Oreo cookies. The Minecraft figures on top are made from homemade fondant; the “Minecraft” sign and pick ax are perler beads.

For all of you Minecraft-crazed youth out there….”The Creepers are HERE!  But BEWARE.. HEROBRINE is coming!” (keep watching for version 2.1 ;0).

My kids are in the midst of a Minecraft craze (Minecraft is a game on the computer), so I created this cake for a Cub Scout fundraiser.

The cake is a 3-layer 8″ square cake (vanilla and chocolate) covered with chocolate buttercream and crushed Oreo cookies (to look like dirt).  I put a layer of green fondant on top and piped green grass with a grass tip.

The figures are crafted from colored fondant (with the help of my kids) and the name plate is made from pearler beads.   The cake was a HUGE hit with all of the elementary-aged boys and eventually sold for $120 at the event!  If your kid hasn’t discover Minecraft yet, just you wait!

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!
