This week I had the opportunity to provide the dessert for a darling girl who was celebrating her upcoming wedding with a shower on Valentine’s Day. Unfortunately, it was a cold, blustery, snowy Saturday.   But her family and friends braved the weather and were there to wish her well (and to enjoy a few cupcakes :0)

These fresh raspberry and cream cupcakes are a vanilla bean cake filled with fresh raspberry mousse. Topped with a pillow of raspberry buttercream and a swirl of vanilla-bean buttercream, they are crowned with a sugared fresh raspberry to add to the Valentine theme…

The bride-to-be also ordered sour cream chocolate/marshmallow and chocolate turtle cupcakes (see later posts), so I provided her with flavor signs and set up the display at the venue (these pictures are taken with my ipad, so they are a little dark).

I typically don’t get to see this part of the process, so it was a pleasure to deliver my goodies and help with the set up.

Congrats on your wedding, Ashley!  I hope you and your guests enjoyed the cupcakes!

Strawberries (or Raspberries) and Cream

I got inspired to try this cake after watching a video on making fresh strawberry Swiss Meringue Buttercream (SMBC).  The cake is a moist sour cream almond cake with a filling of fresh strawberries.  I took the same filling and folded it into the SMBC to make a creamy, light frosting with a hint of strawberry.  If you’re not familiar with SMBC, it’s much lighter and less sweet than traditional buttercream.  It gets  structure from beating egg whites into a meringue, then mixing in the butter.  Very tasty!  Strawberries or raspberries are equally delicious in this cupcake and the filling can be a fresh fruit puree or made into a creamy mousse.

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!
