I saw these totally retro, devilishly chocolate, homemade Twinkies on Simple Math Bakery’s site last week (check Jeanne’s site out…much better photos there my friends).

I am not confused. It is not fall here nor most likely where you are either which is especially apparent if you are under five feet of snow.

Aunt Bette’s Dangerous German Chocolate Cake
Posted in Cakes, Celebration Cakes, Chocolate, tagged German Chocolate Cake on November 14, 2011 | 26 Comments »
Aunt Bette is my husband’s aunt, and as far as my dad is concerned, her German Chocolate cake is the best dowry any dad could ask for. It is actually airy and spongy, with the best ooey, gooey coconut and pecan topping. If that’s not enough, it also has a luxurious chocolate butter cream frosting [...]

Hi All, this is a re-post from last September, but it’s so fall-ish, so spicy and apple-y, I just HAD to play it again. Just like an old favorite movie you could watch 100 times, this cake is THAT kind of cake… How could something NOT CHOCOLATE be this delicious? It has taken absolutely every [...]
