Fancy Ube Cake

A family friend called the other day and asked if I had time to make a cake for his friend.  He said he had been singing my praises and his friend wanted a cake!  He was lucky because the day before, a holiday was announced!  A holiday meant I had an extra day!  Perfect for baking!

And because I had a little more time, I gussied the cake a bit more than usual - fancy!

And off it goes...

Minion Cupcakes!

Minions are the rage these days... blame it on the recently released Minion movie!  Even McDonald's is into it - their happy meal features a minion toy!

So here's our "contribution" -

They are really just our signature chocolate cupcakes with cream cheese frosting and topped with minion toppers!
