spooky cake pops

My friend Amy and I decided to make some spooky cake pops for Halloween. I wanted to try a new cake recipe so I figured this was a good opportunity (I’ll post that recipe soon!). We crumbled up the yellow cake, added some cream cheese frosting and shaped some candy corns, square monster heads and […]

maybe one day…

I walk past this store front every time I go from work to the Daily Grind weekday mornings. It would be the PERFECT spot for Kara’s Cakery. Fell’s Point doesn’t have a stand-out cupcake/cake shop. I’m secretly hoping I get a call one day from someone with more money than they know what to do […]

NEW WEBSITE WOOHOO!!

Well not quite yet, but I am so close! I’m still working out a few details and I have some pages to finish, but I’m so excited I figured I’d push it through. Once I finish, it will be back on my domain, so when you type in www.karascakery.com, it will show up instead of the […]

cake balls: success!

This weekend, my friend Nan had a girly get together so I obviously brought some sweets (see the latest post). I had a few cupcakes and frosting left over, so I decided to give cake balling another try. I included multicolor wafers in my last Bake It Pretty order. They are great for small batches […]

halloween treats

I always love this time of year because you can decorate cupcakes and cakes with all kinds of spooky treats like spiders, rats etc. And spider webs are so easy to make! You just ice your cake/cupcakes with chocolate icing, pipe on a few circles (inside each other) and then run a knife from the […]

october is breast cancer awareness month

I came across these cupcakes by Wildflower Bread Company (via twitpic) in Arizona and loved the idea! As you may or may not know, I’m a Zeta Tau Alpha Alum and our philanthropy is Breast Cancer Awareness and Education. Needless to say, I am very passionate about the cause and spent several hours raising money […]

how to make cake balls

Despite the fact that this weekend was my and Brandon’s anniversary, he allowed me to spend all day in the kitchen yesterday experimenting with a cakeball recipe and using my new mixer. Which… by the way… I adore. I documented my first try at cake balls and I was fairly happy with the result! Below is […]

funfetti is so fun

Someone suggested I post recipes on my blog. So in lieu of today being my Friday (yes.. I have a four day weekend) and it being a holiday weekend, here is a recipe for Funfetti Cupcakes! Perhaps you could use red, white and blue jimmies to make them Labor Day cupcakes! I haven’t tried this recipe […]

cake balls!

No.. they aren’t truffles, nor are they chocolate covered cherries. They are the newest fad in cake making. Tiny, chocolate or candy covered bite-sized cake pieces! I’ve known about these little desserts for awhile, but never thought anything of them. Turns out, the cupcake fad is deteriorating as quickly as it started and cake balls […]
