Holden’s Birthday Cake

August 30, 2013 by jodiebakes

Whew, it has been a busy week and a half. We went to Chicago for a family vacation and then I had a cake order to fill. Therefore, today’s post will not be about a BAKED treat but about a birthday cake. Our elementary school music teacher, Katie Welty, wanted me to make my carrot cake for her son Holden’s 3rd birthday, but decorated for a train. She sent me a couple of links of ideas of train cakes and […]

Root Beer Bundt Cake

August 6, 2013 by jodiebakes

The frosting did not turn out perfectly, but it sure was yummy. We are in need of some cake in this house. Not a fussy double or triple layered cake with many components, but an easy no brainer of a cake that won’t have me in the kitchen for hours making, baking, frosting, and finishing off. Leafing through BAKED New Frontiers in Baking I found our soon to be treat. The Root Beer Bundt Cake is on page 87. During […]

Hummingbird Cake

April 15, 2013 by jodiebakes

When asked have you ever had hummingbird cake?? Most people will say no, what is it?? The most distinguishable ingredients that make this layered cake amazing are ripe bananas, crushed pineapple, pecans, cinnamon, and a slathering of cream cheese frosting. One of the first recipes was originally published in a 1978 issue of Southern Living and was submitted by a Mrs. L. H. Wiggins of of North Carolina. It is my favorite cake of all time, I will even order […]

Karen’s Mocha Cake

December 10, 2012 by jodiebakes

This Mocha Cake was my first sale at JodieBakes. My friend Karen wanted a mocha flavored cake for her father-in-law’s birthday. I use a mocha cake for the German Chocolate Cake that I make so that is what I used for the cake part of this beauty. I researched until I found a swiss mocha buttercream that seemed interesting and delicious to cover the cake and fill in between the layers. I had never made a swiss buttercream on the […]

Sprinkle Cake

October 21, 2012 by jodiebakes

I have to thank my friend Jenifer Meinke for this recipe. She found the idea for this cake on Pinterest and requested that I make it for her birthday and then forgot all about it. I surprised her with this Sprinkle Cake and she absolutely loved it! She liked it so much that she told all of the children at her party that there was booze in the frosting. The children said that they would just scrape the frosting off […]

Susan’s Carrot Cake

October 1, 2012 by jodiebakes

This carrot cake has been in my husband’s family for quite some time. A few years ago I was I was fortunate enough to have this recipe passed onto me. My mother-in-law Susan used to make this cake for her birthday every year, now I make it for her and usually on Easter also. I can honestly say that it is my favorite carrot cake ever (and I have tried many different carrot cakes) . The cake itself is very […]
