Caramel Walnut Cinny Cake With Caramel Buttercream

Stephysweetbakes

Helllllooooo everyone!! Hahaha ? Weekend is nearing and I am super ecstatic. So glad the week is rolling to an end lol. Now I’m keeping my fingers crossed for a sunny and beautiful one here in Louisiana.

My oldest daughter’s very last prom of her Senior year is this Saturday and I can NOT wait to see her in the dress we bought for her. I can only say the dress costed enough that she should be BEAUTIFUL LOL. That has absolutely nothing to do with this cake, but I’m a huge mommy fan and had to stick that in here lol.

Anyway, back to the cake. I will have to say this cake had a strong Caramel taste to it. It has nutty tones with soft Cinnamon flavor adding wow factor. It simply says old southern world charm to it. Only words to describe is something my great grandma…

White and Dark Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

Stephysweetbakes

Hey guys. OK, I know I say this a lot lol, but I’m gonna have to say it yet again, these I do believe are my favorite cookie BECAUSE, even though I like Oatmeal Cookies, the normal ones you usually taste have TOO much in it and I don’t like the texture. This one has just the right amount along with my other favorite ingredients CHOCOLATE, lol. The Oatmeal doesn’t overwhelm the taste buds or dry your mouth out lol. I have more semi sweet chocolate than white because I wanted a little more bitter to it than too sweet. I think this is it. I think I achieved what I was wanting. The only regret is that I should have put some kind of nuts, maybe walnut, cause they are yummy lol, OR Macadamia lol. Next ones putting nuts will be A MUST.

Anyways, sorry for all the blabbering…

I’m sure I’ll learn as I go as I always do. I really had fun making these, that little girl in me still loves the cuteness of all things pretty and pink haha. ????

Oh I can just see myself putting on my pink jeweled high heels and my puffy little pink gloves and play makeup smeared on my face as a little girl anticipating sitting and eating these cuties with my play tea set. Hee Hee Hee. ??☕

I bought the cookie cutter from a bakery supply store in case you’re wondering. I’m sure hobby stores may have them also. Before we get into the tips etc that were used, consistency icing, etc., let me start with the cookie itself. Now…

Cherry Chocolate Chip Cake With Cherry Almond Buttercream

Stephysweetbakes

Hey there everyone. Easter is right around the corner. With my kids being older and not into the egg hunting or chocolate bunnies anymore. I figured I’d go against tradition lol. Cause who doesn’t love chocolate and Cherries. But at the same time I wanted to make this cake festive to enjoy taste wise AND pleasant to the eye. I always try to make things more healthier than normal. Whether it be by adding fruits, wheat, soy, gluten free, etc. The Cherries themselves have benefits. Here’s a little example:

The chocolate fans on top, I made myself, now is pretty hard to explain tempering chocolate and how chocolatiers create all the flowers and decorative pieces they make and I’m just starting on the decorative pieces myself. It’s pretty delicate procedures to say the least lol. Practice makes perfect. I basically just tempered chocolate and then smoothed it out directly onto…
