~ Sticky Toffee Pudding ~






It may not look much like pudding, but this scrumptious cake is chock full of ooey-gooey-goodness.  Don't let the ingredients fool you... There may be dates in the sauce, but this cake tastes far from healthy or geriatric.  It's the sweet syrup soaked into the warm cake that takes it to the next level.  This dessert has become a Marla's Morsels' fan favorite! 

~ Pavlova ~




Although a New Zealand originated dessert, this sweet delight is gaining popularity.  Essentially, they consist of a super sweet baked meringue shell and filled with pastry cream and fresh fruit.  The pavlova pictured here are filled with a tangy Passion Fruit pastry cream that counters the sweetness of the meringue.

~ Creme Brulee ~


Rich and creamy Creme Brulee meets tangy blackberries in this divine creation.  This incredibly smooth baked custard hits the spot on any occasion.  They can be made in a variety of flavors, but my favorite is still the traditional vanilla.

~ Rainbow Brights Cake ~


Cakes are coming into a new trend with simple decorations and an eye catching pattern once cut.  The rainbow cake layers are insanely popular for kids' parties.  
This is a white cake with vanilla ganache mixed into the batter making it ultra moist.  It has a lemon buttercream frosting, but I can make most any flavor.  Hmm.....Maybe orange next time!


~ Choco~Cream Parfaits ~


Having a fancy dinner party and don't know what to serve for dessert?  Let these tasty treats help.  These are filled with layers and layers of triple dark chocolate cake and icing with whipped cream between.  Then, they're topped off with chocolate cookie bits to give it some crunch.  The sweetest way to end your evening.

~ Strawberry Shortcake ~




Nothing beats a fresh Strawberry shortcake in the summer time!  Now that the weather's finally warming up, it's time to order one for your next party!  This cake has 2 layers of shortcake with a Strawberry & Moscato wine reduction sauce in between.  It's drenched in the freshest homemade whipped cream and strawberry fans.  Delish!

~ Cookies 'n' Cream Mini Bundts ~



These little bundt cakes are super tasty!  They're a simple chocolate cake with a cookies 'n' cream filling.  Fresh whipped cream and brownie brittle garnish these babies.  Mm~Mm~Good!

~ Buche de Noel ~
(aka Yule Log)




Yule logs are very popular for the Christmas season.  This one, in particular, is a triple chocolate version.  It consists of a dark chocolate genoise cake, filled with a dark chocolate ganache and coated in a dark chocolate buttercream.  It is so moist and delicious, but I believe my favorite are the baked vanilla meringue mushrooms that garnish the cake. 

This cake has become such a huge hit for some that they've begun ordering it for all special occasions!  In fact, the photos below show another Buche de Noel that I made for them to celebrate Valentine's day...






~ Game Day Cupcakes ~




My husband's birthday is often near Super Bowl weekend.  Since he is an avid Seahawks 12th Man, we've been able to celebrate both at the same time over the last couple of years.  The cupcakes are an easy way to express both celebrations.  
Seahawks Cupcakes: Game Day Done Right!
     Moist Cupcakes in a variety of flavors with creamy buttercream icing.

~ Star~Berry Cake ~

I made this cake in celebration of my own birthday as it normally falls near the Memorial Day weekend.  It was so scrumptious and was the perfect end to a BBQ with friends.  The Star~Berry Cake: Perfect for Military Functions and 4th of July celebrations.  Feeds 20!  I made a simple moist white cake with buttercream frosting and fresh fruit to garnish.


~ Monster High Cake ~





This was a really fun cake that I made for a daughter of a great friend.  We had so much fun creating the idea together and were really happy with the results.  I just hope Daphne and her Mom loved it as much as I did!  It can sometimes be difficult creating a cake to be an exact replica of another.  This is a Monster High Cake ~ White (pink) & Chocolate Zebra Swirl Cake with a creamy, delicious buttercream frosting.
