Angel Food Cake with Berries and Cream


Take an angel food cake and cut of the top with a serrated knife. 
Then dig a tunnel in the bottom of the cake (hollow it out).
Then fill the space with whipped cream (I actually prefer cool whip), some fresh berries (your choice, but I definitely recommend strawberries and some fresh mint), the pieces of the cake that you took out and a little bit of flavored extract (your choice).
Then put the top back on and frost with the rest of the whipped cream/cool whip.
Decorate with the rest of the berries and refrigerate until serving.

White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake


I made this yesterday.  I love to make white chocolate cheesecake.  Usually I would put some raspberry sauce over the top too, (and I really like chocolate crust with it), but I used the ingredients that I had.

*Halloween Cake*

This is the cake I made for Halloween. Kate helped me decorate it with the sugar candies. What would be more appropriate for Halloween than a delicious Devil's Food Cake?!?! I added orange extract to the mix to give it a little special flavor. Then I used orange food coloring to make the frosting, and used the Betty Crocker Cupcake Icing to trim it.

*Lemon Coconut Cake*

I made this cake last night. It is so yummy! You can do it as homeade, or semi-homeade, as you like! I didn't have coconut (which I realized after I had started!), so I just decorated the top with sprinkles.

What you need:
-1 box lemon cake mix (or you can use yellow or white, and add lemon curd, lemon extract and other stuff to make it lemony) (or you could do it all from scratch!)
-3 eggs
-1/3 cup veg. oil
-1 and 1/4 cup water
-about 1 tsp. coconut extract
-the zest of 1 lemon
-lemon curd (optional)
-lemon extract (optional)
-frosting of your choice (I used plain white)
-coconut shreds for decoration

1. Preheat oven to 350
2. Mix cake mix, eggs, oil, water, coconut extract, and lemon zest (you could add lemon curd/lemon zest if you like, for extra flavor)
3. Pour into cake pan (I used a bundt cake pan) and bake according to directions
4. Let cool completely

5. You can make any kind of frosting/icing you want. To make it extra special, you can add either lemon or coconut extract to it for flavor. Frost cake.
6. Decorate with coconut shreds (or any other topping)
Enjoy!
