Buckeye Cake is Back!

This time last year I made this cake for a friends 49th birthday. Well, one year lady that same old fart is turning 50 and it wouldn't be complete without some peanut buttery, chocolatey goodness! I definitely made some improvements from last year and learned a great tip for the drizzle to look so cute. I was also told it tasted as good as it looked :o)

Baby Fever

I've had some friends deliver babies recently so I didn't need much more incentive to do a little baking. Tie dye onsies, hearts and airplanes for the mommy's and daddy's.

Buckeye in Cake Form

I made another cake :o) This was for a friend in our small group who was turning 49 this week. It came as a surprise, however his wife filled me in that he likes peanut butter and chocolate, which resulted in this bad boy! It was chocolate cake and peanut butter icing with chocolate ganache on top. I was told it tasted like one big buckeye, which sounds like a keeper recipe ;o) The chocolate ganache just dumped and spread on top seemed a bit much to me, so next time I think I'll do a little drizzle instead. I'm sure they'd be good as cupcakes too!
