Cooking Club theme 9/18/12 ~ Crazy Cakes!!!
Ok ladies. What awesome, fun, crazy cakes have you made??? Are you planning to make a spider shaped cake for Halloween? Have a recipe for an outrageously decadent version of death by chocolate? And this includes cupcakes!
Share those awesome, delicious, fattening (ok, and I guess if you have a lighter version we'll take it hehe), indulgent cakes or cupcakes. As the holidays approach (it's only 97 days til Christmas people!!!!) we could all use some new & delicious dessert ideas!!
Wife, mom, attorney, blogger, runner - trying to learn to love all the good things in life!!

I'm not great with cakes..... so cupcakes tend to be my thing ;-)

OMG... 97 days to Christmas means 103 days to my due date! Cr@p! I need to get my butt busy shopping and nesting...
Anyway, the best 2 cakes I've ever made:
Carrot cake with ginger cream cheese frosting:

Lemon cake with raspberry filling: (trying to get the actual recipe for this from a friend, but this recipe sounds close to what I remember making except we didn't do a lemon curd)

Tried to do a Mountain Dew cake (DH's favorite beverage) and it was good, but didn't really taste like Dew.

This Rhubarb Upside-Down Cake sounds amazing. Maybe someday I'll find time to bake again!
