Oreo cheesecake inside a cake

The theme for this month’s Daring Bakers challenge was surprise cakes! You know, when you cut into a cake and it has something unexpected on the inside, whether it’s a zebra pattern, a heart shape or a whole pecan pie. The shapes and patterns cakes, a la Surprise-inside cakes, are gorgeous. But I had already made this gingerbread loaf, and also a zebra cake, albeit ages ago.

Chocolate Wacky Cake

Hi guys! Had you ever heard of wacky cake? It’s also known as crazy or depression cake, and the wacky thing about it is that it’s made without eggs, milk or butter.

Game of Thrones Cake

My boyfriend celebrated his birthday this weekend (25 already! We’re getting so old lol) and he wanted a decorated cake. I don’t do a lot of fondant/gumpaste, but I thought it would be a nice opportunity to work on my skills. We’re both Game of Thrones fans so the design came to me pretty easily. Unfortunately, he’s team Lannister… While I’m a Targaryen for the Iron Throne girl.
