3. I think my favorite thing about making cakes is the journey. From vague idea to the exact "ah ha!" moment when I can envision the cake in my head is a truly magical process.  It can take days, hours, weeks or just moments. I sketch ideas on random pieces of paper, I see my hands press and pull gum paste into shapes as I go on my morning run, I dream of cake. Sometimes I'll think I have a concept completely solidified but I'll see something that catches my eye like an illustrated children's book or a funky bookend on Etsy and my mind is busy again.<br>

7. It's been a long time since I've made my little whales and it was so much fun! I forgot just how cute these little whales were. This time around I made them for <a href="http://dozenflours.com/2013/05/biplane-birthday.html" target="_blank">Konrad</a> who was celebrating his second birthday. His party theme this year was All Things In the Sea and the whales were a perfect fit. You might remember these little guys from a <a href="http://dozenflours.com/2009/03/whale-of-cupcake.html#.UgrKWKyE5B8" target="_blank">few years ago</a> when I first made them. It was then that I also invented my <a href="http://dozenflours.com/2009/03/sincere-strawberry-cupcakes" target="_blank">Sincere Strawberry Cupcakes</a> which I also made for Konrad. I topped all the  cupcakes with a very generous dollop of Vanilla Swiss Meringue Buttercream.<br>

10. Monsters have invaded my kitchen but don't worry, they don't bite. Instead you get to bite them!  Last year I was asked to make a <a href="http://dozenflours.com/2011/11/happy-bee-day.html">baby shower cake</a>, cupcakes and cake pops for Mikey's parents, eagerly anticipating Mikey's arrival. Now, a little over a year later , I was asked to help with another big event: Mikey's very first birthday.  It's such an honor!<br>

13. Doesn't it seem like pumpkin is everywhere? It's as though the clock strikes midnight on October first and all references to summer suddenly shift to pumpkin. Not only are pumpkins literally outside the door of every grocery store in town, they are downright trendy. There's a pumpkin flavored version of just about everything, including beer, Oreos, and even ravioli!

19. <span class="firstlet">O</span>ne seemingly normal February day, I received a friendly email and a cake order inquiry from Val, a fellow baker. While this does happen from time to time, this one was rather peculiar because Val was from England! A full 4800+ miles from me! Val explained that her son lived in Seattle and she wanted a surprise birthday cake for her daughter-in-law Abi. I was so excited, I couldn't write Val back fast enough to get more details. After a few emails back and forth, her cake order was finalized and I had my very first transatlantic order!<br>

I was immediately interested because baby shower cakes usually offer the most creative challenges and have thus become my favorite type of party cake to make. However when Shauna told me that she wanted something with "...flowers and butterflies in soft pinks and lavenders..." I was a little deflated. So much so that I actually tried to talk her out of it.<br>

40. Last Tuesday night I took a chance and responded to a "cake wanted" ad on Craigslist. Michelle was planning a surprise pig-themed party for her husband who was graduating from the Police Academy and was looking for someone to make a cake for the big event.<br>

42. Today is my birthday! And just like every birthday for the last six years, I made a dessert to share with my friends and family. I know it's odd and might even seem a little self-aggrandizing, but it's something I really look forward to doing every year.<br>

I learned to camp, row a river raft, and  a lot about myself. I even rowed a class 3 rapid! It was a lot of work being on the river, but the simplicity that came from letting go of modern life and truly relaxing made the experience just extraordinary. It didn&amp;#39;t hurt that the Canyon is just so incredibly beautiful either. There&amp;#39;s so many stories, so many things I want to tell you all about, but I&amp;#39;ll save that for another post when I have the photos organized and ready to share. Until then, let&amp;#39;s get to back to business, shall we? On to the cupcakes!&lt;br&gt;

47. I'm not usually a fan of the group dessert thing. I think birthdays and other big events are just too personal. I've always tried to make something special, catered specifically for the person for which I'm celebrating. However I bent this rule when I made this cake for two very lovely brides, Courtney and Amy. Both of these wonderful women work on my team and are getting married within a month of each other. (Congrats to Courtney who just tied the note in Italy a few weeks ago!!)<br>

53. One Christmas season many, many years ago, I was invited to bake cookies with my friend Adele and her family. It was an annual tradition for them, something I found to be completely foreign. The only things I recall my mother ever baking were a lackluster lemon meringue pies at Thanksgiving and drop-biscuits that were super dry and literally tasted the way Bisquick smells. My mom could cook like no body's business, but baking was never her forte.<br>

They were a birthday gift for one of the trainers at the gym with whom I've only had the opportunity to train with a handful of times. She's a hardcore athlete, a hell of a trainer, and is super cool to boot. Jesse, the trainer who told me it was her birthday, mentioned that she's really into t-shirts, namely making them for special events or for people she knows. After I made a few t-shirts, I decided to  make a few hoodies, which are both made out of fondant, just for fun.<br>

63. Boy last Friday was fun. What a rush! You would think with a week long binge of cake making madness, I'd run way from my kitchen crying at the sight of my mixer. I'll admit, I wasn't super excited about making cupcakes for Groundhogs Day, but it was worth all the "omg-those-are-the-cutest-things-ever!" comments!<br />
64. <br />
65. Because I was a bit tired from all the craziness of the week before, I decided to cut a few corners and base my cupcakes on a box mix. As shameful as that may be, I don't think there's anyone that could tell that these came from a box. They were so incredibly moist! I heard from a few of my coworkers that this cupcake was one of the best they've ever had.  <br />
66. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcxAAIpyvHt9-ncXWUv9Ebhje8k-vmvANZX5NntYr9tC5Mq-ppOPv7y82Y5rWQeGssA61IlTXjbqLU2mcLv-C3fQfHM7pB9P2WJw6JuHHQkziwEPBfFHen_ODj3sSnG10KeS12XbNRPbF3/s1600-h/group.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299512962181388626" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcxAAIpyvHt9-ncXWUv9Ebhje8k-vmvANZX5NntYr9tC5Mq-ppOPv7y82Y5rWQeGssA61IlTXjbqLU2mcLv-C3fQfHM7pB9P2WJw6JuHHQkziwEPBfFHen_ODj3sSnG10KeS12XbNRPbF3/s400/group.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 300px; margin: 10px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /></a><br />
67. <br />
68. The cupcake by itself was wonderful (I finally caved and had one), but when it was combined with the dulche de leche and the cream cheese buttercream, it evolved into something truly phenomenal.  <br />
69. <br />
70. So what makes these a "Blue Ribbon" cupcake? Well, that distinction comes from the little blue ribbon that appears on every container of Hellman's and Best Foods mayonnaise. I know the idea of using mayonnaise in a cake sounds a little revolting, but if you think about, it makes perfect sense. Mayonnaise is essentially eggs and oil (fat) which in some form or another is in just about every cake I've made. Please, though, I beg of you, if you decided to make this cupcake <span style="font-weight: bold;">do not use Miracle Whip or any other salad dressing</span> type of mayonnaise since those products are full of non-baking friendly ingredients like modified food starch, mustard flour, paprika, and dried garlic. If you're unsure, check the label. <br />

72. The dulche de leche layer is completely optional. I decided to use because I had a bit left over after making the Nacho Cheese Dispenser cake and couldn't bear to throw it away. It's important not to spread too much of it on top of the cupcakes, it's just there to add a subtle flavor and shouldn't overwhelm the little cake. <br />
73. <br />
74. When it came to the frosting, I wanted to add the tang of cream cheese to the mix but wanted to do something a little different. Personally, I'm not a fan of cream cheese frosting. Most recipes that I've had just taste like a slightly less thick, blob of cream cheese with a little sugar mixed in. I started tweaking the recipe just by creaming the cream cheese, shortening (for a little structural support), and butter together for several minutes, allowing plenty of time for the ingredients to mix together thoroughly and get proper aerated. This left me with the best of both frosting worlds -- a slightly thicker buttercream than I would normally make but that finishes with a tangy cream cheese flavor.   <br />

76. As for the little groundhogs, they are more time consuming to make than anything. Believe it or not, they are just Tootsie Rolls and chocolate chips. It takes a little practice to do it but after a few tries, I think you'll find it easy to make. You can find more details about <a href="http://dozenflours.com/2007/02/groundhog-day-celebration-cupcakes_02.html">how to make them here</a>. <br />

78. <span style="font-size: large;">Blue Ribbon Dulche de Leche Glazed Cinnamon Chocolate Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Buttercream</span><br />
79. <b>Yield: </b>Approximately 28-30 cupcakes<br />
80. <br />
81. To make these cupcakes you'll need one recipe of each of the following:<br />
82. <ul>
83. <li><a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=3348881315663830662#cake">Blue Ribbon Chocolate Cupcake</a></li>
84. <li><a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=3348881315663830662#duche">Dulche de Leche</a></li>
85. <li><a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=3348881315663830662#ccbc">Cream Cheese Buttercream</a></li>
86. </ul>
87. <br /></div>
88. Start with making the dulche de leche the day before or at least 4-6 hours before. It takes several hours to make this and for it to cool. Next, make the cupcakes and then the buttercream. After the cupcakes have completely cooled (and I mean waiting at least an hour or so), spread a thin layer of dulche de leche on top, trying not to spread it to close to the paper edge (you might find it easier to do it with the bottom of a teaspoon). When you're close to being ready to serving the cupcakes (maybe an hour before), frost them. For a easy decoration, I reserved a few cupcakes to break up into crumbs to decorate the tops.   <br />
89. <br />

91. <a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=3348881315663830662" name="cake"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Blue Ribbon Chocolate Cupcakes</span></a>  <br />
92. <br />
93. 1 box of chocolate cake mix with pudding (the one I used for this recipe was Betty Crocker's) Super Moist Triple Chocolate Fudge<br />
94. 1 teaspoon of cinnamon <br />
95. 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, try to break up any big clumps before adding it to the batter<br />
96. 1 cup of Hellman's or Best Foods mayonnaise <br />
97. 3 eggs at room temperature <br />
98. 3/4 cup of milk at room temperature <br />
99. 1 teaspoon of almond extract  <br />
100. <br />
101. Preheat oven to 350F. Place cupcake liners in a muffin pan and set aside.   <br />
102. Place the cake mix, cocoa, and cinnamon mix together with a whisk to combine the ingredients.  <br />
103. Add the mayonnaise, eggs, milk, and almond extract and mix on low speed for one minute. Scrape down the bowl and increase the speed to medium and mix for two minutes.   Fill the cupcake liners a little more than half way and bake in the center of the oven for 16-18 minutes and the center springs back when lightly pressed. Remove the cupcakes from the pan and let cool completely.  <br />
104. <br />

106. <br />
107. 1 can of sweetened condensed milk <br />
108. pinch of salt  <br />
109. <br />
110. Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 425F.  Pour condensed milk into pie plate and stir in a generous pinch of salt. Cover pie plate with foil and crimp foil tightly around rim. Put in a roasting pan, then add enough boiling-hot water to reach halfway up side of pie plate, making sure that foil is above water. Bake, refilling pan to halfway with water about every 40 minutes, until milk is thick and a deep golden caramel color, about 2 hours. Remove pie plate from water bath and transfer toffee to a bowl, then chill toffee, uncovered, until it is cold, about 1 hour.<br />

112. <a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=3348881315663830662" name="ccbc"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Cream Cheese Buttercream</span></a> <br />
113. <br />
114. 1 stick of unsalted butter, at room temperature<br />
115. 1 8oz brick of full-fat cream cheese (I prefer Philadelphia Brand)<br />
116. 1/2 cup shortening pinch of salt <br />
117. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract <br />
118. 1 teaspoon of vanilla bean paste (if you can't find this, add an additional teaspoon of vanilla extract) <br />
119. 1 pound + 1 cup of powdered/confectioner's sugar (powdered sugar, 10x) sifted <br />
120. 2-3 tablespoons very cold milk  <br />
121. <br />
122. Cream the butter, shortening, and salt until light yellow and creamy -- about 3 minutes. Add the vanilla extract and the bean paste and mix for another minute. Be sure to stop and scrape the bowl about half way through.   Add the sugar a cup or so at at time. When you first add the sugar, turn the mixer on the lowest speed. This will help to avoid most of the sugar being mixed right out of the bowl or you swallowing a cloud of powdered sugar. :-) When the sugar is absorbed, increase the speed to medium for a minute and repeat until you've gone through the entire pound of sugar. The frosting should be somewhat dry looking at this point. If it's not, add more sugar. You want it thick.   Once it's thick, add the milk one tablespoon at a time. Keep adding until the frosting is thick, but more creamy and less dry looking. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZtqIozwx0XH1aZ3qSAWjWSy-hzaOJfZg2R4lFYkR7xkY_6ZCHj5HGT81CGesijFsQXnFunZnoRSYoiDFu_ZTLj1Xc_MKg_WWE4AV3UjCEDEORX6xc1lVHCcWLg0w7_IO3jTXwx9Wwv7uY/s1600-h/mrgroundhog.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299512970234505250" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZtqIozwx0XH1aZ3qSAWjWSy-hzaOJfZg2R4lFYkR7xkY_6ZCHj5HGT81CGesijFsQXnFunZnoRSYoiDFu_ZTLj1Xc_MKg_WWE4AV3UjCEDEORX6xc1lVHCcWLg0w7_IO3jTXwx9Wwv7uY/s400/mrgroundhog.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 400px; margin: 10px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 389px;" /></a> </div>
