Hooters Cake
I love this!! In my family there is a saying, "There's Always Hooters!"
It came from my bil and sil asking an older lady a good place to eat in town -- they were on vacation. This sweet little old lady -- much to her grandson's dismay -- replied, "There's Always Hooters!"
So anytime we are at a loss of where to eat out for dinner, it never fails that we hear that line.
Sugary Goodness did an amazing job on this Hooters Cake!!!

Oh, John Cena!
My nephew LOVES John Cena. LOVES!!
I mean who wouldn't?!? He's cute and strong. For those of you who have no idea who I am talking about -- WWE Wrestler.
So last year this nephew requested a John Cena, Superman, Spiderman and Batman Cake. Well, I drew a blank. I went the esay way and just bought toys and stuck 'em on a cake. He loved it!!
This year he requested it be all cake. So I did a search and found NOTHING under John Cena cake. NOTHING!
I ended up doing this, using a caricature I found of him and using the buttercream transfer method. Anyway, Gavyn loved it!! CAn't wait to next year!!
What a cute dragon!!!
Seven Cakes made this precious dragon!
You can see other photos of the cake in her photostream.

Chocolate Cookie Winner
I entered the cookie tasting portion in the 2008 That Takes the Cake show in Austin, Texas.
To my surprise, I placed first. It is not a very pretty cookie but the taste more than makes up for it.
To come up with the recipe, I combined a few recipes and tweaked it here or there. It is although very similar to one I tried from Martha Stewart.
If you happen to try this recipe and change something and feel it comes out better, I would love to know.
Sad to say, but in tasting the different tweaks I almost hit chocolate overload. I said almost!!
Here is the recipe I ended up with:
8 ounces semisweet or milk chocolate chips
3 Tablespoons unsalted butter
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
12 ounce semisweet or milk chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Melt butter and 8 ounces of the chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl. Slowly. Stirring every 20 seconds. In another bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt.
Mix together eggs, brown sugar and vanilla. Add melted chocolate. Mix in flour mixture. Stir in the rest of the chocolate chips.
Drop the dough on to baking sheet, leaving plenty of room for spread. Bake for 12 - 14 minutes, they will appear shiny. Do not bake less, they will be mushy. DO not bake more, they will be hard and icky.
Like I said it is very similar to a MS recipe, just a couple of tweaks.
