Mint Cookies N Cream Cake

Tessa Huff — Tue, 28 Jul 2015 11:00:35 +0000

Our contributor, Tessa Huff, is sharing a new cake recipe today... Cookies ’n Cream anything is pretty hard to resist. From ice cream to cheesecake, it is definitely one of my weaknesses. Not only do I look forward to the hidden bites of cookie chunks, there is just something so childlike and playful about a dessert laced with cookies. Nothing is more playful than a layer cake, so why not stuff one with cookies too?! Add in a simple twist, like mint, and top it with gorgeous, drippy chocolate glaze, and you just can’t help but smile!

DIY: Shamrocks & Lucky Clovers Cake

Our contributor, Miso of Miso Bakes, is here with a new tutorial for St. Patrick's Day …

As many of you know, four-leaf clovers symbolize luck. However, did you know three-leaf clovers (shamrocks) symbolize happiness? Many years ago, I stumbled upon a quote pertaining to the two clovers that read something like this, "People step on happiness to find luck." So true.

For St. Patrick's Day this year, I created a cake that represented both happiness and luck! I made shamrocks and four-leaf clovers out of sugarpaste and used them, as well as crumbled cake scraps, to decorate a cake. Liking the rustic feel of the cake, I decided not to clean and smooth the top edges of the cake.

Tomorrow is St. Patrick's Day, so I thought we'd squeeze in one last treat today! All decked out in green coffee mugs and topped with glimmering shamrocks, these cupcakes are a big drink of Irish fun! Chocolate cake is baked right in the mug and then topped with layers of whiskey-infused ganache and espresso buttercream. Chocolate drizzle and a glittering candy shamrock finish the look! Grab your apron because we're whipping up some Irish Coffee Cupakes!
