It’s been too hot this summer for cakes and cookies so I made more truffles. They’re Jackson Pollock-esque because I was lazy and didn’t want to use the airbrush. The black and white ones are a vanilla ganache with cocoa nibs. The red and yellow ones are a raspberry lemonade truffle

Strawberry vanilla jam round two. It was really good so I had to make more

This was made to stave off boredom from being forced to stay inside with the smoke haze outside. It's a strawberries and cream cake made with a white cake, homemade strawberry vanilla jam (Wegmeyers strawberries and homemade vanilla paste), and a vanilla mascarpone buttercream. Wegmeyer Farms

I wanted these to rainbow something either as a gradient or each brick be a different color. Then I remembered what happens when I airbrush that much and decided against living in a cocoa butter cloud for hours. These are root beer float truffles made with an organic root beer syrup and they are perfect for summer

This is my contribution for Mother's Day. A tiramisu truffle because coffee is an absolute must and a passion fruit daiquiri because rum is also required

I had mini chocolate cake layers left over from an experiment, so I doused them in Bailey's and iced it in a Bailey's Swiss meringue buttercream. The end result is a mini (4" cake) for St. Patrick's Day

Sunrise and sunset truffles. The sunrise truffles are a dark chocolate raspberry ganache and the sunset are a passion fruit white chocolate ganache. These started out as Valentine's day truffles, but then I realized that this was a lot more fun

S'mores brownies are my newest experiment. These are definitely a work in progress but I love how they are turning out so far. It's a graham cracker base, bourbon brownie middle, and a homemade marshmallow on top

Yet another ADHD idea, a chocolate mousse cake. This is iteration #2 which still needs work but is a lot better than the first try. The layers from the bottom up are a bourbon brownie base, semi-sweet chocolate mousse, and a white chocolate mousse

I would love to say I had this idea for awhile, but no it came from an ADHD "wave" (aka my meds wearing off at night). This is probably one of my favorite things I have created, it's a tiramisu cake. White cake soaked in coffee simple syrup, dark milk mocha ganache, and a vanilla bean mascarpone Swiss meringue buttercream
