My sister has done it again! She has created another EXTREMELY cute and impressive cake! I think this one is definitely my favorite. She used fondant for the soap, bubbles, and towel, and she used pirouette cookies for the outside of the tub. I wish she lived closer to me so she could make all the cakes for my special events during the year. 
These cupcakes are so rich you don't really need frosting. The banana, chocolate, and toffee flavors blend perfectly in this cupcake treat. I used the Heath toffee bits, and added more than called for in the original recipe. You can never have too much chocolate and toffee! I used a yellow cake mix this time, but I am going to use a banana cake mix next time for an even stronger banana flavor.
I had half a bag of Cool Mint Oreos left from making the Chocolate Grasshopper Pie, so I decided to make another minty treat. I chopped up 12 of the Cool Mint Oreos and mixed them into some Devil's Food Cake Mix prepared according the directions. After a little mixing, pouring, baking and cooling.....The result was some yummy chocolate cupcakes with surprise pockets of mint chocolate cookies. So are you an Oreo fan? Do you like the original flavor or some of their fun flavor creations? 
While Zesty if off in Jamaica, I filled in with a guest post on ZestyCook. Head on over and check out these Peanut Butter and Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies. While you are there, check out some of his delicious recipes including A Chunk of Chocolate Chip Muffins, Easy Whole Wheat Bread with Molasses, and Savory BBQ Turkey Burgers.
I haven't shared any of my sister's awesome cake creations lately, and I decided it was time. Her cake business Hugs, Kisses, and Cakes is quite busy right now with baby shower cake requests. She recently had a request for an ultrasound to adorn the top of a cake. Is this a new trend? I have never heard of this idea before! Guess what? She did it. My sister created an edible image of the ultrasound and here is her cake creation!
This is a delicious and easy to make pie for the mint lovers out there! The recipe called for pistachio pudding, which confused me a little, but it definitely gives the pie a nice minty green color. You don't taste the pistachio flavor at all. Chunks of cool mint Oreos are scattered throughout the fluffy pie filling and add just enough mint flavor and crunch. I bet this would taste good if made with Girl Scout Thin Mints. I will have to try that next time. If frozen, this pie tastes like a Mint Chocolate Cookie Ice Cream Pie. Enjoy!
Melt chocolate as directed on package; drizzle over pie.
Refrigerate 2 hours or freeze until firm. If frozen, remove pie from freezer about 10 min. before serving; let stand at room temperature to soften slightly. Store leftovers in refrigerator or freezer.
