Twilight Cake

I've been making cakes here and there for my kids, parents, siblings, etc and recently had a friend to ask me to take on a paid cake for her daughter's birthday. I know what kind of abilities I have even though I don't have much practice or anything and jumped at the chance to do this cake because I immediately though, "I can do that!" It was so fun to do and I was pretty pleased with the outcome. The birthday girl loved it. Everyone else seemed impressed. Plus it tasted great. WIN! That totally made my day. I figured I would try to take all the book covers and fit them on the cake somehow.  A few things I tried ended up not working. I was using trial and error with a few things also. You gotta learn somehow! Ended up making the inside of the cake red velvet which added even more to the vibe of the cake :)


Pizza Wraps

This recipe was quick, cheap, kid friendly and TASTY! I took a package of crescent rolls, pepperoni, mozzarella shredded cheese and pizza sauce and made our own "pizza wraps". We rolled the pepperoni and cheese up in the crescent rolls. It was kind of hard to fit a lot so it got a little messy. Jakobi and I had a ton of fun making them though. We popped them into the oven to bake at the temp that was on the package for the crescent rolls and just watched them to see when they were done. I believe it was around 10 minutes. And to keep the mess to a minimum we just heated the pizza sauce separately and dipped the wraps!
