Home of the giant whoopsie cookie cake!


Michaels official birthday cake is a giant whoopsie cookie cake! 

A fews years ago, a nieghbor brought us some chocolate sandwich cookies- Michael loved them so much so I began nagging my neighbor for the recipe. The cookies look very similar to whoopie pies, so I wasn't surprised to see the recipe was indeed similar. It was just a different variation of a whoopie pie called a sandwhich cookie. 

Most of my friends know I do not like chocolate so cooking with chocolate is hard as I cannot tell if each recipe is success or epic fail. 

One of the times I tried making these cookies I made a "whoopsie" and most of the cookies baked together. So instead of calling that a fail, I poured the yummy homemade frosting on top and thought, "huh, well I guess I could make one huge sandwhich cookie?"

Michael sure loved my whoopsie! 

So the next time around I added a tad bit more mix to give it fluff and the giant whoopsie cookie cake was created! 

It has been his once a year birhday cake ever since!

Frozen Birthday

I had such a fun time creating a Frozen themed birthday cake for a friend of mine! 


Being pressed for time I had to keep it simple with an iced cake.
 I only used a tiny bit of fondant for the snowflakes. 
 I think it turned out great though! 






Finished cake at the party: 








Notes for next time: I need to practice my icing penmanship. I was going for a thick snow look, which turned out good, but I do wish I would have had the next smaller size icing tip.
