My mom and I had lots of fun this weekend making this cake for one of my dearest friend and my daughter’s Godmother. Well, the cake was for her son Abelito (sweet darling boy) on his first birthday! It was a challenge because I wanted it to be perfect, cute and a bit scary.
The final design consisted of chocolate little monsters going on a trick or treating trip. They were surrounded by houses, chocolate made trees and chocolate pumpkins. Ghosts, haunted cats and goblins surrounded the cake. The bottom layer was sweet white cake with chunks of pineapple and coconut brushed with coconut syrup. The layers were filled with vanilla buttercream and hint of pineapple flavor. The top layer was strawberry cake with strawberry buttercream.
We also made sugar cookies with some of the cute monsters from the cake. The monsters are made out of chocolate so it’s all edible. Here’s my friend Maria and her son Abelito having fun with the cake!

This cake was made for a previous client that was pleased with our work before. Her dad was turning 80 years old and they celebrated with this delicious chocolate cake covered in chocolate buttercream frosting. Matt (hubby) was upset because I didn’t cut anything fom the cake… I’m sorry, it came out perfect from the oven!

Cookies
We made a few cookies for a fundraiser this last Sunday. A big bake sale was organized to repair the dome on the ceiling of the Basilica of Saint John because it was a bit damaged. We didn’t think twice about making some treats to help out. My husband Matt participates and is very involved in that church and we love the people there. You can’t go wrong with pumpkins.
Check out our little ghosts! Matt didn’t really think this was appropriate for church, but I thought that kids would take a bite out of those scary ghosts. My daughter Lillie managed to steal one of these while we were wrapping them. The cookies were cinnamon and vanilla sugar cookies. They were decorated with royal icing and some of the details were fondant and buttercream icing.
