happy pi day!

It's Pi Day! I've been wanting to bake a chocolate cream pie for the longest time! When my daughter came home from school and told me she was going to have a pi day celebration during math class.... I immediately started searching for chocolate cream pie recipes. Well, to make a long story short.. after a failed attempt at my first chocolate cream pie, we decided on making little boston cream pi(e) bites!

These were so fun to make! Use your favorite yellow cake recipe, whip up some pasty cream, make the ganache for the topping and garnish with a swirl of vanilla bean frosting (taste just like vanilla ice cream). I made these in mini muffin tins, perfect for my daughters math class celebration!

Devils food cupcake with cream cheese frosting garnished with a candy pumpkin! {I was going to make my own little pumpkins out of fondant but then I realized my kids would much rather eat a candy pumpkin!} We also decorated some as mummy's using a basket weave tip and candy eyes.

vanilla bean cupcakes

Who doesn't love vanilla beans?! I incorporate a vanilla bean into all my white batters. It really boosts the vanilla flavor and I just love seeing those little black specks in the cake.

funfetti birthday cupcakes!

When my sister asked me to bake cupcakes for my nephews 3rd birthday, I immediately thought of these fun funfetti cupcakes! Just use your favorite white cake recipe and add about 1/2 cup sprinkles to your batter. The result is a colorful fun party cupcake!
