Sweet Potato Pie

 

Another excuse to use the new creme brulee torch, Thanksgiving!
Sweet potato pie covered in mini marshmallows, kissed with the flame of the creme brulee torch.
I made a full size pie, and a miniature one. The pie pictured is the mini one.

S'mores Cake!

 
 For my husband's birthday, he requested a s'mores cake. This is what I came up with.
Graham cracker cake dotted with dark chocolate chips with dark chocolate and marshmallow cream frosting between the layers. Covered in a thick layer of the remaining fluffy marshmallow frosting.

This cake was the perfect opportunity to use one of our wedding presents: a creme brulee torch. I toasted the marshmallow frosting til perfectly browned.

Groom's Cake

As many of you know, I got married recently. I considered the idea of making our wedding cake myself, but decided it was too big of a project on top of wedding planning and working full time. However, I decided that a Groom's cake would be a much more reasonable undertaking.

I decided to make my groom a cake in the shape of a can of Moxie soda, in honor of our beagle- mix who shares the same name.

I'm extremely happy with how things came out, and my groom was so surprised. The cake itself was chocolate, the frosting was a sea-salt butter cream. It is covered with a layer of fondant and decorated with sugar sheets, which I hand cut to match the logo.
