Hot pepper & cheese stuffed burgers

I have never made stuffed burgers let alone a normal burger!

 I seen how to make stuffed burgers on Diners, drive ins, & dives and thought I'd give it a try!

Heres how I did it.
First I mixed the hamburger with some spices, bread crumbs, and a egg.
To stuff the burgers I used a cookie cutter to keep the shape of the burger, I pressed down some hamburger then on top of that put some hot peppers and chesse then finished it off with another little layer of hamburger.

I just fried them in a frying pan, but they would be just as good done on the BBQ.

I also toasted the buns with a little garlic butter on them.

 Heres what the burgers looked like:

Let me tell you these were delicious!

 Hope you give them a try too ! :)

Jessica's 18th birthday 'penis' cake

This was a very fun and interesting cake to work on.

My little sister asked me to help her make a birthday cake for her best friend.. this wasn't exactly what I was thinking lol

 This was my first cake that I actually carved into a shape, much easier than I thought!

 First we stacked and filled the cake, then we carved out the shape. Next step was to crumb coat the whole cake, then put the final layer of icing over top.
After the cake was covered we put it onto a cake board then piped the boarder around and did some extra add ons my sister thought would be funny.

 All in all it was a fun cake to do and good quality time with my little sister (:


 Just for laughs, heres what the final cake looked like:
Looks pretty cool eh!
 
Happy 18th Birthday Jessica!

Cake Balls

This was my first time making these but they are really simple and fun to do!

 Alls you do is pick your fave kind of cake along with your fave icing.
Then you bake the cake as directed, let it cool in pan for about 5 minutes but you want to crumble it into a large bowl while its still warm.
Next your gunna mix in your icing, be carefull tho you dont want to add to much icing as it will make them mushy.
* If your mix is to soft stick it in the fridge for a few minutes.
Roll them into balls and put in the freezer to get hard.
Melt your chocolates and get ready to decorate! (This is the fun part!)

 Heres what mine looked like :
You can decorate them with any toppings youd like to!
 
Have fun and enjoy! :)

BBQ Chicken kabobs

To switch things up a bit I decided to make some kabobs and BBQ them.
YUMMMMMMY!!

I didnt really use any recipes to make them I just winged it haha

 So heres what I did!

I started by cutting up my chicken breasts into bit size pieces, then cut up some onions, yellow and red bell peppers in chunks.

 Next I put them all on the skewers alternatly, put them on a plate to set, added some salt and pepper then put them on the bbq.

 As they cook brush them with your fave bbq sauce and flip frequently.
They take about 15-20 minutes to cook through.

 Heres what mine looked like:
Looks good eh? They are!

 Have a try and enjoy! :)
