That looks like a whole lot of bunnies!

No doubt Ruth made only a few, turned her back for a second, and they multiplied greatly.

You need this mold for that to happen.

You ARE evil!!!!

Ruth's lovely bunnies are the offspring of those.

Ruth – your bunnies are adorable and the flavors sound wonderful. I especially love the little ones that are ‘cuddling’!

The other day I made this silly little cake:

I made it for a work birthday, that I had forgotten about until the night before and I needed to get ready for the NOLA trip. It’s a weird, but still pretty good, cake that my mother makes – it’s a cake mix that you put the frosting into. Everyone at work ADORED it. I bring in a homemade, from scratch carrot cake and they say – “that’s so good”, but I bring in a cake mix cake with canned frosting stirred in and they lose their minds . I did tart it up with some really good melted chocolate, dulche de leche and toasted pecans.

[Darienne]

Looks excellently tarted up to me.

Kerry, please say you know a source for that mold.

[Kerry Beal]

Kerry, please say you know a source for that mold.

The mold is Chocolate World - looks like Tomric has it listed. It doesn't seem to be available at Chocolat-chocolat, but sometimes if you phone them they might have a mold that isn't listed anymore - worth a call.

WOW, a Deutsche Toyota

A Mixed Berry Tiramisu...There is something about making your own ladyfingers as opposed to buying them...

Also, brownies filled with milk chocolate ganache and topped with caramel and pink sea salt....

Hi Chocolot,

Your bunnies look great! I'm curious, how many molds do you have of those

bunnies? When I first starting making shaped chocolates and ordering

molds I only bought one mold per shape when I should have bought multple

molds of the same shape......

[Chocolot]

Each mold has 12 impressions. I started out with 6 but added 4 more this year. You can never have too many molds!!

Good old baked cup custards from the Betty Crocker cookbook. I'd forgotten how good and simple these are!

I made a low-fat apple cake for a friend who's at home recovering from recent surgery. Lots of apple, coated with a sugar-cinnamon mixture...

just before it went in the oven, with more of the sugar-cinnamon sprinkled on top...

just after it came out, with a lovely cracked top...

and out of the pan...

I'm very tempted to bake another one so I can show how beautiful it is sliced, too.

I made this today, however it is not low fat. Butter instead of margarine, real cream cheese instead of no fat. I also added more vanilla & cinnamon. Steve's rule, whenever these two ingredients appear in the same recipe, add more for better taste. Also for the cinnamon/sugar mix I used brown sugar instead of white.

It tastes really, really good. We have did not let it cool before tasting it, only because we were making sure I did not ruin it, ah yea, that's the ticket...LOL so It crumbled a bit.

Its as stone cold winning recipe. Thank you for bringing it to out attention.

Also, I had some peach & pineapple pieces in the fridge, I washed the syrup of, dried well and inserted into the mix.

I'm glad you tried it and enjoyed it! And yeah, I never use margarine (blech), so I guess I kinda lied when I said "low-fat". Heh.

Here are some Easter eggs I've been playing with. Well, they're actually spheres because I have more sphere moulds. Mainly based on ideas from Wybauw's decor book.

[Kerry Beal]

Very nice!

[Darienne]

Very nice!

Ditto .

[emmalish]

Ooooh, pretty! And very unique. What fillings are you using?

[DeliciouslyLekker]

Apple Pie

[emmalish]

I made cranberry bran muffins the other day. I try to keep a steady supply of these guys in my freezer. They're great with peanut butter for breakfast.

[RichardJones]

Thanks for the comments. The spheres aren't filled - they're enormous, c.15cm round. Here are a few close-ups I found which show the detail better - still taken on my phone, though.

And here's a little hen in time for Easter. She's sitting in a dark nest on a milk base.
