Checkered Flag Rice Treats

These where a super fun little expirement I tried

for a birthday party I thought they turned out pretty cute 

just gotta remember to keep hubby away from decorating the 

baked goods and in the kitchen making drinks *grin* 

Fourth Cake

this is the cake I made for the Fourth of July

 blueberries and strawberries yum

 Red white and blue inside and out

 little miss wanted in on the decorating fun so

I gave her her own cake to decorate

 I think she did a good job

she was so proud she wanted to take her cake to

Papa's too

Rainbow cake

sorry these posts are a little allove the place while I am catching up to today, here is the rainbow cake I made for a Saint Patricks Day party we had this year...

This cake was a lot of fun to make and really

it was more time consuming then it was difficult

it basically involved dying each layer as batter then slowly

building the cake it was yummy too



 

Hooloovoo

and since this blog is called rum and cake perhaps its time to add a drink or two...

 

This drink is one of hubbys favorites to drink and to make it's called a

Hooloovoo which is a hyperintelligent shade of the

colour blue from HitchHiker's Guide to the Galaxy

 

The recipe is:

 

1 part blue curacao

2 parts vodka

3 parts lemonade

shaken and poured over ice.

 

 

Cinco de Mayo

Cinco de Mayo we were invited to a friends party

so I decided I just had to try these Piniata Cookies

I saw on Tablespoon.com

 

 Simple sugar cookie colored and layered to look like a

piniata

Then filled with mini M&M's

They where so good and so much fun to make

The Things We Do

    The first post!  I am never quite sure what to put in here but I supposed we could start with a little background:
    I am a stay at home mom of two and have always loved to cook and create, but as of late I have found a great deal of fun in baking; I love to make birthday cakes, cookies, crisps and cobblers, but my most favorite thing as of late to make is cake pops.
    My husband is an engineer, and while that may have stunted his creativity, he has always loved to mix drinks.  Recently, we’ve been having friends over regularly, which gives him the opportunity to tend bar.  He’s been taking advantage of having regular testers to try new recipes and do a little experimenting.
    We’ve really been enjoying the creation and experimentation and thought that it would be fun be able to share some of our creations with everyone.
