Cheesecake Bites

I love cheesecake, but you know that they are not that lovable at all once you have finished a slice of it. Right? I love the softness, and the crust. I am not sure whether the cheesecakes I have tasted are perfect, or baked right. Anyway, I do not know how to prepare one. I am just always satisfied looking at people preparing for me and just eat afterwards. :D

Here is one that I have found online, Tumblr specifically. I got the website and good that we have the recipe.Thanks to Saratso.

Blackberry Cheesecake Bites

Just one bite

And I'd like to prepare this too. If you want the recipe, you can click the link above of Saratso or visit our Recipe page.

Fruits on Cake

Just yesterday, we posted about fruits on ice creams. Today I was tempted to post about fruits on cake with what I have found from flickr. This:

I don't know with you if you have seen cakes like these before, but my goodness. I'd be full probably even just with a slice or two.

Anyone ever tasted this cake before? Please tell us your cravings for this.

Excited for Halloween?

I am not that excited for Halloween. If you have read my previous post about cakes and cupcakes inspired by Halloween, I am just jealous of the western because they get to celebrate Halloween party and prepare cakes, cupcakes and pumpkin ice cream. In this case, I am just left to wonder and daydream and of course, just let me crave for these mouth watering cakes in pictures.

Cupcakes with bats on top. I don't what is this really called aside from cupcake.

Probably the one above is a carrot cupcake and with pumpkin icing or whatever and then with frosting. I am not really sure with this but I find it cool for Halloween.

Now this is a real Halloween Cupcake. I mean the one before this is real, but this one is a perfect spooky thing.

I find the frosting so cute. Plus the eyes they have, it adds more perfection to it. Chocolate cupcake and vanilla icing. PERFECT.

How about you, what makes you excited for Halloween?

Desserts

Julie and me in an ice cream parlor last year

I miss ice cream and dessert parlors. Last year, we often go to this local ice cream parlor 'Nothing but Desserts'. You will not like the prices, it's kind of expensive. But you will absolutely love what they serve. We love the gelato. The flavors aren't ordinary and the cakes too.

With the cakes and pastries in 'Nothing but Desserts'

All that was displayed in the parlor is just mouth watering. I have been craving for sweets this past few weeks. And if you have noticed, I have not posted anything since the last two weeks. I am busy with my new client for article writing too.

Pastries VS Cakes and Cupcakes

Are you a fan of pastries or tarts? If you are, can you give a little idea on what you like about it? How about with tarts?

Pastry, as defined from Wikipedia, is the name given to various baked products. So does it include cupcakes and cakes? The ingredients include flour, sugar, milk, eggs, butter/shortening, and more. Sounds like making a cake or cupcake too. One thing to take note and differs pastries from cakes and cupcakes is there size. Cupcakes, as from its name is a small cake in a cup. Cakes are big or in medium size of course. There are also various sizes and definitions of pastry.

Pastries sold in France. I got this from http://gobackpacking.com, its a travel blog.

Sweet tarts with few toppings of miniature slices of fruits.

 Sometimes I even have misconceptions with tarts and cupcakes. The photo below are tarts and I feel stupid sometimes for calling them cupcakes, when they are not served in cups. lol

Tarts, or referred to as Choux pastry. Light pastry and filled with cream or topped with chocolate.

Cupcakes, I have no problem determining them. As long as they are prepared in an aluminum cups or thin foil, I know its a cupcake.

Cupcakes. These mini cakes were inspired from the creators farm, probably. Look a the cow, ducks and the pig. Lovely.

Campfire Cupcakes, I got this from tumblr. A fellow blogger allowed me to share few of her creations and this one is just the first. You can visit her page @ Cinnamon Streusel.

Now this is deserves to be called Cupcakes. lol.

 The last photo, I do not know who created it. I've first seen it from Tumblr and I was surprised. For the recipes of tarts and cupcakes, visit our recipes section.

Apple Products Inspired Cakes

Bad news today sweet cravers. Apple's big boss, Steve Jobs passed away. He suffered from cancer for few years already and today, his life just ended. He must not be forgotten for he was a great inventor and tech enthusiast. Remember the Apple Macintosh? Thanks to him for the technology we are enjoying today.

Now as I was browsing with other cakes and ice creams blog, I found an interesting post. Something relevant to Steve Jobs, cupcakes that were designed just like the Apple products, iPhone and iPad. If you'd like to see, visit Cupcakes take the Cake.

Here are other photos that I also found from flickr. Very unusual. Very unique. Very cool.

iPad birthday cake

I got this from this link. It was John's birthday, not related to me, and the cake was made by http://www.jane-asher.co.uk/. Look at these two:

The purple one is an iPod while beside it is an iPad. There were two separate birthdays for two people. Cool and Cute. Check it in here.

This is from Little House Cakes in flickr. It is an iPad on top of the iPad box placed above the MacBook box.

I wonder how they can do something like this. They are magnificent. I can't describe them in one adjective alone, but they are artistic, creative and lovely. How about you, what made you remember Steve Jobs works?

Rose Cupcakes for Teachers Day

Have you ever seen something like this before? I believe not yet, unless you are used to baking cakes and cupcakes. I have seen unusual cupcakes but this one is heaven. Today is World Teachers Day and have you already think of anything to give as a gift for your teachers? Nowadays, stuffs are increasing in prices and it can be costly to buy a special gift for all of them. Here in cakes and ice creams, we can help you in looking for an idea. Try out this creatively designed cupcakes. They call this rose cupcakes in tumblr, so I will be calling it the same thing.

Rose Cupcake. 4 roses on top of one cupcake, amazing isn't it?

 One cupcake or two cupcakes for each of your teacher is enough for them to feel they are important to you. Besides, the fact that you remember him or her is enough for them.

Frosting in these cupcakes were designed just like with roses.

You might think you are already late, but teachers would always accept late than never. Go ahead, look for cupcake or cake stores near your area or check this link from bbc good food for instructions and procedures on how to create one of these. Enjoy and crave.

Banana Chocolate Cake

Banana Chocolate Cake

Surely you can't see any banana from this photo. But this cake is like a regular banana cake. The only difference of this one is covered with chocolate frosting for a birthday.

Barber Shop Cake

Barber Shop Cake

So cool, so unusual. I found this from reblogging a post from a fellow Tumblr blogger. I figured out it was cool to be shared with you in here. The colors are really the colors that you can normally see when visiting a barber shop.

Pink Ruffles Cake

Pink Ruffles Cake

 I love the colors because it is so feminine. Most of the ruffles cake I find from Tumblr are pink in color or something with the shade of pink. I found another site for you to check more about ruffles cake, Aubrey Manning of How Sweet Treats. Aubrey also featured the Sweetapolita site about ruffles cake.

Brownies with Vanilla Ice Cream

Brownies with Vanilla Ice Cream

Silly me, I really do not remember at all where i got this. It has been long. For anyone out there who knows the owner of this, please leave me a message so we can ask him/her what is this really called.

Cupcakes, Black and White

Cupcakes, Black and White

This is interesting. I seldom see cupcakes designed beautifully and creatively. Look at the glitters and the gem like topped on them, it does not look like edible or cupcakes.

Chocolate Cake with Whipped Frosting

Chocolate Cake with Whipped Frosting

So lovely. This is a simple type of cake. If you make a layered chocolate cake, just prepare a whipped frosting [for this one it's Vanilla] and top it with sprinkled or M&M.

Polka Dots Cake

Polka Dots Cake

When I first saw this, I know it is cool. The Polka dots design could probably be eaten or maybe not. I am not sure though, coz as you can see these pictures are not mine. If you could search more online about these designs, there are more edible cake designs. There are also glitters that can be eaten nowadays. If you want to find out how to have that polka dots, try visiting this link.

Wedding Cake

Wedding Cake

I just laugh before I uploaded this photo. I named it 'Lavender Cake', when there is nothing on the cake that makes it lavender aside from that few leaves topped on the cake. This is actually a wedding cake. A simple wedding cake that was frosted with white icing. I got this from Tumblr.

Leche Flan

Leche Flan

If you are going to ask me of the famous desert I know since I was a kid, it would be this. Not a big fan of Leche Flan, but its softness and how it melts in my mouth makes it very interesting to prepare especially for small gatherings. I used to prepare this when I was in college. It was exciting because I was not that knowledgeable to cook. [Imagine you are already in college and you do not know how to cook, sounds stupid.]

Peanut Butter Cheesecake

Peanut Butter Cheesecake

I am a cheesecake buff. Any desert as long as its cheesecake, count me in. I have tried mango cheese cake, red velvet cheesecake, but not this one yet. If you can tell me where I can taste a cake like this, I would appreciate that.

Lemon Truffle Cake

Lemon Truffle Cake

This lemon truffle cake is simple yet tasty. The blog, where I got this photo, received praises and positive feed backs for its taste and for the simplicity of the recipe. Unlucky you, I forgot the link. ;P

Rainbow Cake

Rainbow Cake

For me, Rainbow Cake is heaven. Especially when the bread is soft and the colors are just bright, you will definitely ask for another slice of it.

Green Icing Cake

Green Icing Cake

It is seldom I get to see a cake with unusual color of icing. And green is definitely one of the rare colors I see.
