Dark Chocolate Molten Lava Cake

You know those wonderfully delicious chocolate cake dessert that you can get at places like Applebee's or Chili's? Well, that's what I made for dessert tonight. I made them in my really cute flower-mini-bundt-pan. *shown below* I forgot to get a picture of the actual cakes before they were snarfed down by myself and brothers and sister-in-law. But they were indeed delish. Dark chocolate cake with a gooey-melted ganache filling that oozes out when you cut into it. Served with creamy vanilla ice cream and drizzled with more sticky-rich-delicious ganache. Here's a picture of the pan I used, makes super cute cakes.

Valentine's Day Cupcakes


These are probably some of my favorite cupcakes. This was my first time making a cake from scratch. and I must say, they turned out fabulously! They are White cake with a chocolate ganache frosting. There are also a few that have just a simple white glaze on them with festive sprinkles. I finished frosting them all, using up all of the ganache and realized I still had another pan full of mini cupcakes. all is well though, cause it added a nice variety to the cupcakes. here they are!
