April Fools!

The teachers at my preschool have a wonderful tradition.  We draw names at the beginning of the year and bring in goodies to celebrate each other's birthdays.  Fun!  But sometimes we get tired of sweet treats.  So I decided to celebrate with more savory goodies today.

I cooked up a big pot of spaghetti and ordered some yummy lo mein.

And what celebration is complete without fries and popcorn?

APRIL FOOLS!  (Yup - it's all cake!)

Luck o' the Irish

If you catch a leprechaun, so the story's told,

You will be rewarded with the wee one's pot o' gold!

Kind of like winning the Irish lottery, huh?  Well, here's hoping that you're at least lucky enough for a bite o' this beauty... vanilla cake with Bailey's Irish Cream filling and chocolate bark.  What better way to wish someone "Top o' the mornin'?" 

Happy Holidays!

Merry Christmas from Cake Fixation.  I hope your day was filled with love and laughter!

Merry Christmas!

Ho Ho Ho!  Warm wishes for the happiest holiday!

Cupcake Theater - Halloween Edition

Fog rises from the graveyard.

A full moon casts shadows across the barren ground.

A lone wolf howls in the distance. (A-wooooooo!)

Terrifying, isn't it?

From the shadows emerges a horrifying sight.
Two huge eyes glow in the dim light. (shudder!)

Suddenly, two more ghouls appear...

Then more!
 The attack of the dreaded String Monsters has begun.  Ahhhhh!

But wait!  They have joined forces with an even more frightening enemy- the Fur Balls. 

(What's next?  Dust Bunnies??) 

Just looking at these guys makes my hair stand on end.

Closer and closer the evil ones approach.  (cue the demonic organ music...)

They are so close, I can smell their breath (raspberry, actually, and not that bad - but I digress)...
more howling, more organ music.........

Who can save us?

(insert gory battle scene here:  blood, guts, buttercream - oh, the horror!)

Sweet victory!  Bwhaaa haa haa haa haa!  Happy Halloween!

Creepcakes

Okay, so not that creepy.  They're actually kinda cute.  Really anything with gummy fangs can't be all bad.  But creepcakes sounds Halloween-y, doesn't it?  And they ARE blood red velvet cake... oooh, creepy!
