I saw a recipe for chocolate truffle cookies and the pictures looked so good, I had to try it. But it was months before I finally got around to pulling out the recipe and making sure I had all the ingredients.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTcgKcgbqp1_UKCZ5CUq-vxwwgDHyOJFdtTOS4KHqagtvnhA-j3ggh-RNAobglf51a9nC22msRcqVk4XtbRiA2WQM2cb8OpPJ8rZXxFHD8Zqdevs17DU6u8Z-0G7nK8qzoFngYvIgTTZk/s1600/photo+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTcgKcgbqp1_UKCZ5CUq-vxwwgDHyOJFdtTOS4KHqagtvnhA-j3ggh-RNAobglf51a9nC22msRcqVk4XtbRiA2WQM2cb8OpPJ8rZXxFHD8Zqdevs17DU6u8Z-0G7nK8qzoFngYvIgTTZk/s320/photo+1.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then the day I decided to put the recipe to the test, I decided that I would make some caramel and place a piece inside each scoop of cookie dough before baking it.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can't see the caramel in some cookies, but in most, the caramel oozed out of the cookie while baking and you could see it after they cooled. I felt the caramel gave another dimension to the yummy chocolatey goodness of a cookie.</div>

I needed to see if it was possible to decorate a cake using cream cheese frosting like a buttercream or if it is too soft to decorate with. So of course, I needed a cake to frost, but I didn't know what since I already made red velvet and pumpkin spice. I decided I was going to go with a vanilla cake, until I saw the box of strawberries in my fridge that needed to be used immediately. Then I thought, a strawberry cake should go well with a cream cheese frosting since there are people out there who make a cream cheese-based dip to go with a platter of strawberries (but I am not one of those people).</div>

Decorating with the cream cheese, however, was not quite so fabulous. I was trying to create a ruffle look on the cake, but the frosting was as I thought, too soft. Plus I just need to practice...A LOT! I think I will try the ruffle look with a buttercream next time and see if it turns out any better.</div>

After trying this cake at my son's first birthday party, a very good friend requested this cake for her own birthday. Of course I wanted to surprise her with this cake and gave it to her a week early so she could share it with her boyfriend and his family. She was so excited to get this cake and said that everyone else was going to get a small piece but the rest of the cake was hers.</div>

After I saw this recipe posted on one of my favorite blogs, I had to try it out. They turned out great, taste-wide. As for the looks, it was a little bit of a disaster. I had a horrible time rolling out half the dough and cutting it freehand into 9 rectangles and then rolling the other half and cutting another 9 rectangles to fit nicely on top of the first 9 rectangles. It was frustrating, needless to say.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxwzRk-TRbS3N1Unq00ab7PUZi7LRQseK8x8eo3Mce-SZVA0Aqo4HmK2xuZm47RkXcbA9CH32lAt903RcY-sYrb2aO-ph4OcD8cJu4NrtIzPB02oqh2QJO-YvwTyohD21SFGdhVa2lmLc/s1600/P1020326.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxwzRk-TRbS3N1Unq00ab7PUZi7LRQseK8x8eo3Mce-SZVA0Aqo4HmK2xuZm47RkXcbA9CH32lAt903RcY-sYrb2aO-ph4OcD8cJu4NrtIzPB02oqh2QJO-YvwTyohD21SFGdhVa2lmLc/s320/P1020326.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then one Valentine's Day, I decided to make heart-shaped poptarts. After using the heart-shaped cutters, I realized that solved my problem of cutting freehand rectangles and making sure the tops and the bottoms matched. What a brilliant idea! Now I can make more than 9, which is a great thing, since this tops my husband's favorites list. Now I just need to improve the sealing of the poptarts so they don't leak the filling out because that is the best part, according to my husband.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This last time I made it, I rolled the dough as thin as I could, per my husband's request, and made more strawberry filling. I was able to make about 2 dozen Poptarts. They still didn't last long, though.</div>

Everyone loved the chocolate cake, saying that it was really good, especially since it was a gluten- and dairy-free cake. There were a few people who said they didn't want any cake and ended up eating a piece because they had to try it, and there were others who went back for a second piece.</div>

So I made salted caramel sauce and hot fudge sauce, added sprinkles, gummy bears, mini peanut butter cups, and M&M's, and put everything in cute little packaging and into a homemade box. My favorite sundae is simply a bowl of vanilla ice cream with a drizzle of the caramel sauce, yum!</div>

This is one of my all-time favorite chocolate cakes. I just love chocolate and caramel together and this cake is the perfect combination of the two.<br />
The chocolate cake is everything that I love in a chocolate cake and has a ton of chocolate flavor. The caramel buttercream is so good, with a lot of caramel flavor and the salted part of the caramel keeps everything from being too sweet.<br />

The smash cake was a banana bread with cream cheese frosting. The party was an army/camouflaged theme and the parents had requested a camo design for the smash cake.<br />
The parents had to show the birthday boy how to dig into the cake, but he did manage to make a good mess and get a few bites into his mouth. In the end, I think his mom enjoyed the cake more than he did.</div>

After searching online through many recipes and trying several, I have finally found one that has met the one requirement that I look for in a lemon blueberry muffin - tons of lemon flavor. I love that I can have lemon blueberry muffins any time I want now.</div>

The strawberry buttercream and ice cream had great strawberry flavor. The buttercream was on the sweet side, but the homemade ice cream helped cut the sweetness. The red velvet cake was moist and delicious.</div>
