I made some cakepops for Easter based on this post by Bakerella. Her cakepops are always amazing, but she uses a lot of supplies that are difficult for me to get on short notice. So I had to get a little creative.

I used the Wilton White Candy Melts to dip the cakepops. This isn’t a [...]

My sister Natalie got married last fall and my other sister, Vanessa, and I threw her a bridal shower. I always try to plan a bridal shower theme around something the bride likes and for Natalie that’s bikes and robots. She was already using a tandem bike theme for the wedding, so the shower had [...]

We are having a little party at work today to celebrate a big launch, so I baked some cupcakes. These are my go-to chocolate cupcakes with some swiss meringue buttercream.  I love doing rose swirls on top of cupcakes! It looks so pretty and it doesn’t use tons of icing. Too much icing is a [...]

My mom and I decided to go with a wintery theme for the Christmas cookies we made this year. Jersey sure isn’t getting any other snow right now.
The recipe is from Cookie Craft: From Baking to Luster Dust, Designs and Techniques for Creative Cookie Occasions.
I have an inspiration board for cookie decoration on Pinterest.

Marzipan fruit is much easier to make than it looks. I shaped each pear, then painted them with gold luster dust mixed with cheap vodka. After the were dried I used a clove as the [...]

One of my friends told me that today was National Cupcake Day. I figured this was as good an excuse as any to bake some cupcakes! I went hunting for a recipe that I could make with what I had in the house. I looked through my numerous cupcake cookbooks but nothing struck my fancy, [...]

It’s been 9 months since I last posted on Craftcake. That’s seriously messed up. I’ve been baking and crafting but not posting. So I’m going to try to catch you up before 2012 gets started.
First off is this cake I baked from my grandma’s 87th birthday. It’s a vanilla layer cake with the most divine [...]

Here are few photos from the cupcakes and mint oreo cakes pops I made for St Patrick’s Day. The cupcakes are green velvet and are as easy to make as substituting half of the red food coloring in a red velvet recipe for green food coloring. In my case I used 1 oz of [...]

Last year I bought a Groupon for Sweet Avenue Bake Shop in Rutherford. It was $10 for a $20 voucher. While I had good intentions of going right when I got it, I soon realized my voucher was expiring in 2 weeks. So off I went on Saturday.
The bakery is a little hard [...]
