Creative Cakes from My Cheerful Kitchen!

It has been an awesome start to the year and I am so glad to share the different theme cake orders that I have got recently. I should thank each and everyone who has given me the opportunity to try out such different and creative themes!

The Royal Beauty:
My most favorite cake till date. A special cake for an engagement function.
Two-tier cake with alternative layers of chocolate and vanilla cakes, filled and frosted with vanilla buttercream and topped with handmade peacock using fondant

Eggless Tutti-Fruiti Biscuits (Karachi Bakery Style)


Karachi bakery at Hyderabad is known for its signature rich fruit & nut butter biscuits, that melt in your mouth. These biscuits are divinely delicious and very addictive too. My colleagues who visit Hyderabad, make sure to get these to office and they'd get over in a jiffy.
When I came across this recipe in Fondbites, Bake Along group, I bookmarked them and was so tempted to try them at home. I had time this weekend and tried these goodies. And the result------- No one can believe that these are homemade! The biscuit just melted in my mouth and everyone at home loved it.
The best compliment was when dad asked me "Who got them from Hyderabad?"

Warning: Try hard to control yourself or be prepared to work out hard ;-)

Surprise hearts inside chocolate cake - For the love of baking!


I did this cake as a part of Fondbites - Bake Along group in facebook. 
With Valentine's day round the corner, I wanted to try something special and when this recipe came along my way, I immediately tried it!!
The original recipe used eggs. I have tried an eggless version and wanted a dash of pink in my cake, hence made cute vanilla-strawberry marble hearts for the surprise center. It is a double process of baking but not difficult at all. Try it out and surprise your near and dear ones, in this season of Love!
With this method, we can vary the flavor combinations according to our choice. A chocolate cake with red-velvet heart, Chocolate cake with vanilla heart or vice-versa and sky is limit for the combinations!!
Wishing you all a very sweet and lovable Valentine's Day!
