Rocky Road Brownies

Thick, rich, and moist chocolate brownies are a mouth-watering treat all alone on a plate. However, a tasty brownie topped with a layer of melted marshmallow and toasted almonds makes that treat extraordinary.  Add a few of these scrumptious rocky road brownies to that lone treat on the plate and the day becomes nearly perfect.  Bring on the rocky road!

Praline Caramel Brownies

A thick, rich, moist chocolate brownie foundation.  A generous layer of creamy caramel icing.  A sprinkling of toasted pecans.  The most delicious brownie dessert ever!  Praline caramel brownies.  Ahhhhh . . . sighhhhhh.   I'm in heaven!

Lemon Meringue Pie Cupcakes

What is better than lemon meringue pie?  What is better than a  lemon cupcake?  A lemon meringue pie cupcake, of course!  These tasty lemon cupcakes are topped with a miniature lemon meringue pie (of sorts).  100% made-from-scratch, these lemon-y morsels are a delight for the taste buds.  Flaky pie crust cut with a cookie cutter is placed on each lemon cupcake.  Atop the pie crust sits delicious lemon custard pie filling (made with just enough fresh-squeezed lemon juice and zest).  Then, a dollop of sweet, toasted meringue tops each treat.  Lemon perfection!

Boy, oh boy! Brownies!

I have deemed 2011 as the year of the bar and brownie for Sweet T.  I will still be making and selling delicious cupcakes, and testing new cuppie recipes (I already have one in the works for this weekend).  However, I will be focusing on expanding my offerings to tasty bars and brownies throughout this year.  These "plain" ol' yummy brownies are far from plain tasting.  The thick, rich chocolate bar is slightly denser than a cake and tastes divine.  The butter and cream cheese-based chocolate icing is the perfect top for this perfect brownie bar.

Coconut Craving?

Coconut is one of my absolute favorite flavors ON THE PLANET!  So, occasionally (and often much more than occasionally) I get a hankerin' for a coconut cake goodie.  This little cuppie will satisfy any coconut craving (for at least 5 minutes until you MUST have another!).  The super moist, sweet cake is baked with both coconut shreds and coconut milk.  The addictive coconut cream cheese icing is topped with  a sprinkling of a bit more coconut.  This little beauty is coconut perfection! 

Eclectic Birthday Cupcakes With Personality!

This eclectic mix of cupcakes are for an 11 year old girl's birthday.  Each delicious red velvet cuppie is topped with tangy cream cheese icing and a made-by-hand fondant representation of something she enjoys or likes.  Besides the year she was born, her age, a Happy Birthday message, and her name, the other cupcakes are topped with an edible Phineas and Ferb, a can of hairspray and a blowdryer, nail polish, Fairly Odd Parents characters, school paraphernalia, her favorite colors (pink and puple), and an electric guitar.  One can certainly learn a lot about a person by making them individualized cupcakes!

Rainbow Dots and Corset Laces

This square-shaped cake was created for a teenage girl's birthday.  She adores rainbow colors and corsets.  The instructions I was given when creating this cake were to evoke a corset's laces and to have muted rainbow dots and/or balls on the top.  Voila!  Cream-colored fondant, laces, and rainbow dots AND balls to cover a luscious red velvet cake filled and topped with cream cheese icing.  Almost too beautiful to eat . . . almost.

Gone Fishin'

These birthday cupcakes were created for a man who enjoys fishing and whose birthday is right before Christmas (hence, the Christmas tree cupcakes).  Each tasty carrot cupcake is topped with tangy cream cheese icing and a made-by-hand fondant detail.  Whether the fondant detail is a special message, a Christmas tree, a fish hook and worm, a fish, or a little fishing pole, all are 100% edible and delicious.  Happy Birthday! 

 

Christmas Leftovers

These delicious Gingerbread Cupcakes were created, baked, and devoured several weeks before the Christmas Holiday.  However, I did not post them on my blog until now.  Thus, they are deemed "Christmas leftovers."  Each soft, moist Gingerbread cupcake is filled with tasty cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger . . . as well a just a hint of sticky and sweet maple syrup.  Each yummy cake is swirled with a heavenly amount of cream cheese icing, topped with Holiday sprinkles, and swathed in a cheery Christmas wrapper.  Yum! 

Jack Skellington Birthday

My husband's birthday is on the 21st of December.  Although his birthday is "Before Christmas" is most certainly is not a "Nightmare."  He is, however, a huge fan of Jack Skellington and Tim Burton's "The Nightmare Before Christmas."  Thus, his Jack Skellington birthday paraphernalia!  The 3-D cake is a delicious and moist chocolate chunk iced with vanilla buttercream (and covered with Sweet T's made-from-scratch fondant).  What's this?  What's this?  There's birthday in the air!
