Just can't get enough..

Of these!
I first got the idea from the fabulous Louise of 'Cake Journal' (see cake inspirations over there on the right side...). But since the first batch I've made 4 or 5 variations of them (chocolate cake/vanilla icing, yellow cake/chocolate icing, funfetti cake/rainbow chip icing so many flavors to try!). They are a bit of work and require a bit of planning ahead, but they are SO worth it! This variation is red velvet cake with cream cheese icing dipped in milk chocolate.

I think my next variation will be orange supreme cake with vanilla icing dipped in white chocolate.

Mmmm. I made those last year. I did red velvet in white chocolate, but I think milk chocolate would taste yummier. Good Work!

THANKS! I am going to spend my Sunday making these for the 8-12 yrs activity.

Cake Journal lady's are way fancy--this might be good for a baby shower (Camille's perhaps).

What's your fav combo for flavors? I am thinking a white cake but what icing do I use? I love white cake with chocolate but that would destroy the white color. Suggestions?

Mmmmmm...these look delicious.

And thank you for the suggestions for Hawaii. It is so helpful to hear from people who have actually been. Every time I see a picture of the Hawaii temple I think of your beautiful wedding photos and flowers. Your wedding must have been incredible!

I wrote down all of the places you mentioned and may email you with more questions when it gets closer. I'm so glad you mentioned the Turtle Bay Resort. I was actually looking at that exact hotel to stay during the last four days of our trip.
