Well she found a recipe she wanted me to try, It took 5 hours from making the crust to cooling the cupcakes. It was worth the 5 hours! It's one of my favourite cupcake flavours! Although I don't really like Cheesecake these cupcakes sure changed my mind on Cheesecake! Try them,Trust me they are yummy!

All you need for the bacon part is: 4 strips of bacon,sugar! 

Best bacon you will ever try! Trust me on this one.

Cake Pops for Easter

My friend came over and we wanted to make Cake Pops for Easter! We had a plan to make Easter chickens that look like Bakerella's. That didn't work. We never had the proper sprinkles to make it look like a chiken. But we just had Easter sprinkles so we rolled the Cake pop in that and it still looked nice!
The recipe for the Cake pops are right here

This is what it looks when you bite into it

My friend and I just did weird faces on them!

Colourful!

Fondant Cake

This is accomplishment I wanted to do before spring break ends. I never made a cake with Fondant before I just don't really make cakes. Yeah I will make a cake here and there from the box like I did today. I make cupcakes and cake pops not cakes.. But now I am going to start making cakes because I showed myself that yes I can make a great cake with not tons of detail. Here is pictures of the cake!
