BAB's Baking

When the request is, “Could you do a classic yellow cake but with double chocolate frosting, like frosting as thick as the cake layers?” The answer is, “GURL, I got you!” One death by chocolate fudge buttercream coming up. 🤤 Thank you for your order Mrs. Paula!

Today’s birthday bake is sponsored by the letters PB&C. It’s a peanut butter cake, topped with Reese’s peanut butter buttercream, chocolate fudge buttercream for the writing, then edged with a chocolate ganache drip and chopped Reese’s cups. Have mercy, that’s a lot of peanut butter and chocolate! Thank you Stephanie for letting me be part of Sadie’s bday celebration! How is she 19?!?!?

Moist fudgy homemade chocolate cake topped with homemade chocolate buttercream and crushed chocolate chips. 🤤 I really, really wanted to slice this one. 😅Hope your mom liked it Emily! Thank you for your order.

Another first for this weekend. This is an 8” three layer almond cake with almond buttercream camouflage. Emily, thank you for your order and letting me be part of your celebration. Happy birthday to your hubs. 🥳

Last cheesecake of the week is for a birthday bake. New York style Cheesecake topped with a homemade milk chocolate ganache, crushed peanut butter sandwich cookies, and homemade whipped cream.

Why make regular Rice Krispy treats when you can make fancy ones? Cookies and Cream Krispy treats topped with chopped chocolate and extra marshmallow cream. Headed to a sweet group of 5th graders tomorrow. 🥰

Our oldest son got married today! I did a cheesecake bar for their wedding and I’m so thankful I had the chance to do this for them. New York style cheesecakes topped with chocolate dipped strawberries with choice of toppings. I did three homemade sauces caramel, chocolate ganache, and strawberry along with Reese’s peanut butter cups, Oreos, and mini m&m’s.

Bakes are at a minimum this week for some R&R, but when a friend needs you, you get it done.

This is one of my favorite cakes. It’s hard to beat a homemade 💯 percent from scratch classic yellow butter cake with chocolate fudge frosting. Nothing like serving up a slice of nostalgia.

Friday afternoon and evening were all about the birthday bakes!

Absolutely love how this smear cake turned out. So much fun learning new tricks and this totally fed my love of Abstract Art.

The joy is in the learning and more importantly, knowing you get to be part of someone’s happy memories.

Thank you Stephanie for letting me make Bella’s “Nothing cutesy,” birthday bake! Love you!!!

PS. Thanks to my hubs for finding me some black frosting in Ruston on his lunch break Friday. It, unfortunately, is not homemade. It would have been if my black cocoa powder wasn’t stuck on a boat somewhere. 😢

Friday afternoon and evening were all about the birthday bakes!

13x19” vanilla cake, brushed with vanilla simple syrup, and topped with vanilla buttercream. This can feed 30-45 peeps depending on how large you cut your portions.

It has a crumb coat of bakery style American buttercream and is decorated with all butter American buttercream.

Better than all that, it’s for one of my dearest friends. Thank you Alyx for letting me be part of Jaxon’s bday celebration! Love you the mostest.

Happy 1st birthday JK! Had so much fun making your birthday smash cake. Thank you Lauren for giving me the chance to learn something new and be part of such a special event.

The second bake of the day is a sweet potato pound cake topped with a sweet molasses glaze and crushed cinnamon sugar pecans

She’s a beaut! 💯 percent from scratch Italian Cream. 3 decadent layers of cake, cream cheese frosting, toasted coconut and toasted pecans headed out the door this morning.

Birthday Bakes are forever my favorite. Happy Birthday to sweet Charleigh! She wanted a sprinkle cake and she got it. Vanilla rainbow sprinkle cake topped with vanilla buttercream and more sprinkles because you can never have too many sprinkles. Thank you Shelby for your order!

Any of you beautiful people need some sweets for tomorrow?

I have some homemade lemon bars and some strawberry white chocolate cookies available.

The lemon bars are a homemade shortbread base with a luscious sweet tart lemon curd made with freshly squeezed lemon juice.

These homemade cookies are a chewy cookie lover’s dream packed with dried strawberries, white chocolate chips, and chopped white chocolate.

Limited quantities available. 😊

Loved having the chance to make treats for a wedding party’s goodie bags. Wishing Parker & Michael all the happiness.

A new year of small groups calls for testing out new recipes. Tonight’s test bake is a White Texas sheet cake topped with a powdered sugar icing and macerated mixed berries.

When Saturday starts with kitchen demo for new oven installation and a cake delivery for a favorite former firstie family, you know it’s going to be a good day. Thank you Crystal Stansell Osbon for you order! Hope Chris has a happy birthday and enjoys his cake.

Also, I have got to make one of these for something where I’m going to get a slice. All the chocolate deliciousness. 🤤
