Strawberry season is one of my favorite times of the year. We have to wait a bit longer here in the Pacific Northwest but I am so ready, as the arrival of the strawberry marks the beginning of summer in my book. I decided to jump-start summer with these strawberry shortcake cupcakes.

Kids will love making this cake. It is quick, easy and results in a moist chocolate cake. I like to ice the cake with vanilla buttercream frosting but you can decorate your cake as desired.

To coordinate with the pirate-themed treasure chest birthday cake that I made for my niece's birthday party, I opted for a simple decoration of party swords and maraschino cherries. The cupcakes and cake squares looked great with the simple and striking combo of red, white and black.

This treasure chest cake is a birthday cake and piñata all in one. Kids love it...and all of the candy, too!

For my niece's birthday this past weekend, I made a soccer ball cake. The timing couldn't have been better because a soccer ball cake is also perfect to celebrate the FIFA World Cup! The decorative process is straightforward but it takes some time and patience.

This cake has a rich buttery vanilla flavor but when compared with many other cakes, it is surprisingly not that bad for you. It is moist and great for building theme cakes and when paired with buttercream frosting it's one of my family's all-time favorite cake/cake pop combos.

This pound cake is moist and has a rich vanilla flavor. Serve it plain or topped with a powdered sugar glaze. It is also excellent with chocolate fondue or strawberry shortcake!

These banana bars could be the best thing banana that I have ever eaten. They are not too sweet and have a delicate banana flavor. The cream cheese frosting adds a light creamy sweetness and definitely makes them a dessert. But we loved them without frosting, too.

This giant baseball made the perfect individual birthday cake for my son's 1st birthday party. My son dived into the whole cake so I made cupcakes for the guests, decorating them with baseballs and red sprinkles.

This chocolate cake is my "go-to" recipe for chocolate cupcakes and birthday cakes. In fact, I've pretty much stopped trying other chocolate cake recipes because this one is so good and everyone loves it!
