Cakes and Biscottis

I've been doing a good amount of baking in the past few weeks. My mother's birthday came along, so I made her a raspberry cake with lemon frosting. The recipe made alot of batter, so I made some cupcakes after I made the layers.

She really liked the look of the gluten free cake I made, so I recreated it with the lemon buttercream icing and fresh flowers. 

I also put fresh flowers on the cupcakes, and I love the way they turned out!

This week I started back at the bakery for the school year. In the spirit and mood of baking,  I came home after work and decided to make some biscottis. I made almond-cranberry biscottis and had alot of fun doing it! I haven't made them since school, and I forgot how easy they can be! My boss's birthday is today, so I wrapped some up to bring to her as a little treat.

School is going well so far, my classes have all started well and I'm settling back in the flow of things. I made Ben David some muffin mix to take back to work with him, so next time I'll post some pictures of that.
