Happy Anniversary!

Hello, fellow cake enthusiasts!  So it's been a year since Mad Love Creations first took off.  In honor of the occasion, I'm going to repost pictures of our very first cake-- the inspiration for it all.  The Harley Quinn and Joker themed "Mad Love" wedding cake!








Our pride and joy.  That's me on the left and Sarah on the right!



The happily mad couple!



Us again the night before the wedding with the concept art I drew for the cake!



"We're all mad here." ;)

Also, for that same funky bride's birthday party just last week, I made the following awesomeness: A rainbow piñata cake!

Why yes, that is a Halloween pumpkin candle on her June birthday cake.  Because we're cool like that.


Are those M&M's spilling out of the inside of the cake?  I think yes.


The cake itself was one of my go-to (yet again) pound cake recipes.  It is flavored by creamer, in this case, Creme Brulee flavored Coffee Mate.  It's delicious.  I separated the batter and colored each section with the Wilton gel icing colors (they're wonderful I highly recommend!) and filled the layers with Nutella.  Whaaaaat!

Have I mentioned how awesome I am?  No?  Okay well I'm doing it now.

I'm awesome.

Trick or Treat!

I know it's a couple days late but Happy Halloween!

I wanted to share the latest ghoulish goody I've made this year!

Cake Pops!




I bought a little cake pop maker about a month ago and decided to try my hand at some Halloween-inspired yummies!  I made these for a Halloween party and they were a hit!






I made some little pumpkins, Frankensteins, witches, and ghosts.  It was actually pretty darn fun!  Takes a lot of patience though.  Looooooooooot of patience.






Also, a regular cake recipe makes a ton. Literally, a ton!  Okay, not literally.  But my go-to chocolate cake recipe made 8 and a half dozen.  That's 102 cake balls!




I actually ran out of sticks (and I also just got a little lazy), so I crushed some cookies on top of some of them and turned the others into little bite-sized ghosts!




I highly recommend making these--easy to make, easy to eat!  Great for parties!

Hope everyone had a Happy Halloween!  Did you make any devilishly delightful treats this year?  Feel free to share them in the comments! =D
