The Iron Cupcake: Basil winner goes tooo...

Mama Baker for garnering 25% of the total votes. Congratulations! Thank you to those that voted for my cupcakes. I didn't even get 1% of the votes, but i'm just glad I didn't get zero votes. Anyway, it was a fun experience, so i'm not complaining. I however, have learned of another cupcake competition, Cupcake Hero from Iheartcuppycakes. I will have to check that out. I don't know if i'm going to do the next Iron Cupcake Challenge, but if your interested, the secret ingredient for October is: CHEESE!

I haven't uploaded any new pictures yet from my camera. But I have some goodies i've made from last weekend. It was my 8th anniversary with my hubby last weekend and I let him pick out the menu... and it goes a little something like this.....
Filet mignon
Roasted corn
Creme Brulee

I also made Gourmet Mac & Cheese because I saw Throwdown with Bobby Flay a couple of months ago and since then i've always wanted to try it. We don't really eat Mac & Cheese that much but they made it look so good on tv. I had to try it. I will post those pics up soon.

But for now, some old baking projects i've done over the past year.

Bake sale goodies for the March of Dimes Fundraiser

Rocky road brownie, Chewy Dark Chocolate Macaroons, & Rocky road cluster

Mascarpone Cheesecake with Almond crust. Recipe from Giada of FoodNetwork.

Sour Cream Cheesecake. Recipe from Alton Brown of FoodNetwork.

Panda cupcakes & Alligator cake. It's from the book Hello! Cupcake

Homemade Icecream Sandwiches~ I didn't make the ice cream.

Mini Pecan and Cherry Pies. I got the idea from NotMartha.

A big cookie cake made with Devils Foodcake mix. I thought the pink M&M's added a nice "little" touch...=)

I saw these cute Cupcake lollipops and I had to make it. Thank you Bakerella!

Lastly, Dessert Sushi. My coworker made this using fruit leather, rice krispy treats, & various types of gummy candy. It tasted yummy. Thanks Cheryl R!
