Behold, the Whoopie Cake (and other yummy projects!)

OMG, how awesome is this?? I like to try new things & come up with ideas (quietly and to myself) and THEN spring them!! K, so here's SuzieCake's latest & greatest addition to the family - the Whoopie Cake! So, so, so, so yummy - really! Just a new twist on an old favorite! Our Whoopie Cakes are made with our cupcakes! This batch was made using our decadent dark chocolate cupcake, (we only use the tops of the cupcakes to create the Whoopie Cake!) and filled with a traditional Whoopie Pie filling - but with a little SuzieCakes magic blended in! This cutie cake has some pink sugar sprinkled on top, but we can use any topping you want! AND the best part - we can make your Whoopie Cake in any FLAVOR and FILLING you'd like!! So here it is.....

I wanna eat it right now! I've also discovered that these are amazing when refrigerated and eaten cold!
And here it is all dressed up and ready to go! (I dusted a little powdered sugar on top and bottom to prevent the cake from sticking to the wrapping)

NEXT - I decided that this margarita glass would be the PERFECT container for this little cupcake sundae! Rather than put a cherry on top, I made a little white chocolate flower instead!


A layer of chocolate cream cheese frosting on the bottom, then a layer of white cream cheese frosting, our very own Wedding White Cupcake, topped with more chocolate cream cheese frosting. I added a swirl of white cream cheese frosting around the edges. HEAVENLY!

My baking would NOT have been complete without making some SuzieCakes-in-a-Jar! Some with Chocolate cupcakes, some with Wedding White, and 1 with both! (I also made a few Wedding White Whoopie Cakes!!)
Hmm, what's next...... (man I love this!)

Mini Cupcake Tower!

As a surprise for my niece-to-be (I'm engaged to her uncle!! Yay!!) I decided to create the sweetest little mini cupcake tower! OMG So cute right? The cupcakes were red velvet topped with the most amazing cream cheese frosting (Project Cupcake's secret recipe!) colored in bright blue & pink!

Since she doesn't know if she's having a boy or a girl, I covered each tier in a different color (pink, blue & green) of the yummiest gingham embroidered with vines, leaves & flowers. I also added 2 more stands to go along both sides of the tower.

Each mini was nestled in custom cupcake wrappers in the most adorable baby prints! And of course the shower was outside & it was about 90 degrees & super humid!! I left the tower inside until we were almost ready for dessert, then nervously arranged the minis in the sauna-like heat! So the frosting sweated a little, but it was gorgeous nonetheless AND the cupcakes were amazing!! This is just one example of the cupcake displays we do! More to come on our website!!
