Bananas Foster Cake


This decadent cake begins with banana cake brushed with a Grand Marnier glaze. Its filled with a vanilla bean buttercream and garnished with feathery brown sugar. The amber "27" is made with a caramelized sugar that dries shiny and hard.

Cupcakes!



The first is a Peanut Butter Brownie Cupcake. I substitiuted the regular chocolate cake for a rich, moist brownie base. The peanut butter buttercream is light and fluffy, topped with a Reese's Pieces wedge.

Second, is a classic Red Velvet Cupcake with cream cheese icing and garnished with sprinkles.
