Making the Most of Another Snow Day

As of today, we have had our 10th snow day. Three of them since Tuesday. To make the most of it, we decided to spend some time in the kitchen. Just like our last snow day. We continued to work on different cupcakes to add to our repertoire. We tried to make six different varieties, all of which were delicious, I must say!!

Up first: CHERRY CHOCOLATE CHIP

This is a chocolate cake, with chocolate chips and cherry chunks in the mix. It is topped with a cherry buttercream, and, of course, a cherry on top!

Next: ORANGE CHOCOLATE WITH GANACHE
This doesn't look like much from the picture, but it is a chocolate cake with chocolate chunks, along with orange liqueur. The ganache also has a hint of orange in it.

Next: PINA COLADA
 

Thinking of summer!! This variety is a vanilla cake flavored with rum and pineapple juice. It is topped with a pineapple frosting, with shredded coconut, pineapple chunks, and a cherry.

Next: WATERMELON SPRITZER
 

This is a watermelon cake with a 7-Up frosting. Simple, but delicious!

Next: CRANBERRY LIME
 
This cupcake is a cranberry-lime flavored cake, topped with a cranberry rum buttercream.

And last, but not least, STRAWBERRY DAIQUIRI









This cupcake has a strawberry banana mix, with a strawberry rum flavored filling. The frosting is also rum flavored.

It was a fun snow day, to say the least! Two of the best ways to spend a few snowy days!! Now it's back to reality and back to school. On a good note, it's Friday, on the bad note, another storm is on the way. We shall see what happens!!
