Celebration Cake

In honor of friends' birthdays, farewells, and graduation, I made this cake to celebrate! Chocolate and raspberry flavored.

Dr. Seuss Cake

I entered a literary cake contest with my friend at school. We decided to make a Dr. Seuss cake! The books included in the cake are The Cat in the Hat; Green Eggs and Ham; One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish; and Oh, the Places You'll Go. The cake flavor was a pink lemonade with white chocolate mousse filling and a lemon zest Swiss buttercream.

Mojito Contest

My teammate and I won the class mojito contest by making a pineapple basil mojito! We put a spin on the classic cocktail by using basil instead of mint, sugar, lime juice, pineapple juice, and Malibu Rum.
