For our granddaughter's 3rd birthday she wanted a Max and Ruby party. I decided to try out using modeling chocolate to make the cake 3D. It was a lot easier to work with than fondant and tastes better too. The number 3 is a sugar cookie but all other decorations are modeling chocolate.

Some Christmas baking and decorating.

made this cake for our sweet daughter-in-laws birthday. Quick and easy but pretty and yummy

Had fun baking these the last two weeks. Cupcakes that resemble little buckets of popcorn, engagement cake and wedding dresses for a bridal shower

Our new grandson, Alex, was born two weeks ago. My friend, Beverly, and I had great fun making these the week before he was born to help welcome him to the world.

Rattle Cake Pops

Made these for a recent baby shower. Top cake pop is a bit larger than the bottom and have pink sanding sugar for a fun shimmer. Sticks were found at a kitchen store.

Brookies

Have some friends coming over for pizza and game night and wanted something sweet for dessert. Couldn't decide between brownies and chocolate chip cookies so decided to bake some Brookies!

Brookies

1 stick of butter, room temperature

1 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup white sugar

2 eggs

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 cups flour plus an additional 1/8 cup to be added later

1/4 cup cocoa powder

1 cup chocolate chips

Cream butter and sugars. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Add 2 cups flour, salt, and soda ingredients.

Remove half of dough to another bowl

To the remaining batter add 1/4 cup cocoa powder and 1/8 cup of additional flour.

Add 1/2 cup chocolate chips to each of the two batter bowls.

Spoon out 24 heaping teaspoon fulls of the "brownie batter" onto a greased or lined cookie sheet.

Roll out 24 heaping teaspoon fulls of the "chocolate chip dough". Place this dough on top of the brownie batter and press down slightly.

Bake at 350 for about 10 minutes.
