Cupcakes x2!

So last week I started work at Blubells Cakery in the front of house staff and was inspired by all of the beautiful pastries that we sell, so I decided to grab by copy of their cookbook and whip up a couple batches of their cupcakes, but put my twist on both of them.

The first cupcake I made was a Lemon Coconut Cupcake. It is a vanilla bean cake with with a lemon curd filling and vanilla cream cheese frosting, topped with coconut threads. 

The second cupcake I made was a chocolate cake with a dulce de leche filling and a dark chocolate ganache frosting.

Miscellaneous Baking

I have had a relaxing summer and spent some time baking several different things for friends and family.

One of the things I made was a triple chocolate chunk salted caramel brownie.

           

 

Another one was a vanilla bean cupcake filled with chocolate ganache and hazelnut praline shards.

       

       

Banana Dulce De Leche Cake

For Oscar's 17th Birthday, I made him a banana cake with alternating layers of dulce de leche and chocolate ganache filling topped with a vanilla bean buttercream and garnished with almond praline.  Everyone loved it and went down a treat!
