Chai Tea Roll Cake By Building Buttercream 10/14/12 22:30 I seem to base a lot of my baking projects off of beverages don't I?

Almond & Raspberry Cattails Cake By Building Buttercream 07/25/12 05:44 My dad really likes cattails. I also like them (although not nearly as much as he does).

Walnut Carrot Cake By Building Buttercream 11/14/12 06:42 I've always disliked carrot cake. In my experience, it is often too dense, the frosting is usually too sweet, and it almost always commits what I consider to be a major cake felony - it contains chunks of nuts and carrots right in the cake, which messes...

First Post: Chocolate Raspberry Birthday Cake By Building Buttercream 03/12/12 00:14 My first blog post! I realized a while ago that I'd become something of a baking nerd.

Pecan Macarons By Building Buttercream 01/13/13 20:38 These macarons are the tasty result of a fortuitous mistake and a hungry husband.
