St. Patty's Day Cake

I was asked to bring a green cake to a green potluck party that was being held in the MIT Provost's staff office on St. Patrick's Day. This is just a simple white cake with a whole lotta green food coloring, frosted with a white chocolate cream cheese icing, and pressed with coconut on the sides.

Raspberry Chocolate Cake

This four layer chocolate cake with chocolate raspberry frosting and cookie crumb coating was prepared for my wonderful boss Amanda's birthday.

Note: The bag of alphabet tile chocolate cookies only had 2 A's, so I had to substitute an upside down V for the middle one. :)

So Many Cupcakes

Rachel and I made these cupcakes for a dinner party with coworkers. On top are chocolate almond cupcakes with fluffy coconut frosting, and below are lemon raspberry cupcakes (with raspberry jam hidden in the middle!) They are sitting pretty on the fabulous cupcake rack that Rachel bought me for Christmas last year (along with the wrappers and silicone bears which don't happen to appear in this picture). Next order of business: full on cupcake party with at least twice as many kinds of cupcakes!
