Pink Velvet Roulade. A little over two weeks ago, tornadoes wreaked havoc in Alabama and the surrounding states. I feel very fortunate that the damage we suffered here in East Tennessee was mild comparatively. We'll be getting a new roof and vinyl siding, but many people in Alabama lost everything they owned, and worse. Maybe you've heard of the devastation? A photographer friend captured it perfectly here. That evening, after the storm was over, we emerged from our designated safe-place to find our yard completely covered with soft-ball sized hail.
Wow. Since then, I find myself gravitating toward creature comforts, or better said - things to soothe jangled nerves. ...and I bake, of course. I'll bet you didn't know that cake rolls are my favorite thing to make, ever. I almost hesitate to call this roulade "pink velvet" even though it has everything that a velvet cake is supposed to have, specifically, buttermilk and vinegar.

Celebration Cake (Yellow Layer Cake with Milk Chocolate Ganache) When it comes to yellow cake, fluffy and moist are where it's at in my book. But sometimes I just can't deal with all the crumbs that break off the second I apply frosting. Especially in planning my first ever multiple-tiered cake, I knew I'd need a yellow cake endowed with a touch more strength and structure than my current go-to.
I get enough baking anxiety without adding collapsing cake tiers to the not-so-little list of horrors! Luckily my favorite white cake recipe had a yellow cake (egg yolk) variation built right in! Yellow Cake with Milk Chocolate Ganache and Covered in Fondant Surrounding each cake layer was a generous coating of milk chocolate ganache (I used Trader Joe's Pound Plus bars, which are just $5 for 17.6 oz. and taste seriously amazing).

Hello kitty ice cream cake. Since my last couple blog entries were Hello Kitty related, I wanted to also show you the "hello kitty" cakes I've been making. I made this ice-cream cake for my best friend Sue's birthday back in March. It was a chocolate cake with homemade coffee-oreo ice cream - my favorite combination! Before that, I had made this one for my friend Hsing last October.
It was a chocolate cake also with homemade mint oreo ice cream. And I also made this mini 6-inch ice-cream cake for my friend Diana last February. It was a chocolate cake again, but I can't remember what ice-cream flavor I made. I think next I'm going to make something "hello kitty" for my daughter's first birthday, in December.

Apple Coffee Layer Cake | Cake, Batter, and Bowl. I’ve often wondered why I’ve never seen a layered coffee cake. It just seems like stacking coffee cakes on top of each other would make the presentation so much more festive! I recently couldn’t help but try out this idea when I was baking a birthday treat for us to enjoy during one of our weekly morning lab meetings.

, so there was a layer of apples at the bottom of a 9-inch round pan and batter on top. Then when I flipped the pan over, the apples were nicely baked into the top of the cake.

It is even served in high-end restaurants and is suitable for all occasions.
