The young women in our ward had a talent show with a cake auction to raise money for camp. I made two cakes which turned out to be a lot of work and a big mess but it was yummy and fun :)
The first cake I made was a zebra cake found here:
I changed it a little because some people said the cake had no taste. I just used a white cake mix and then divided into two bowls and added dark cocoa powder to one. Then I followed the directions for how to make the zebra stripes. On the website they didn't frost the cake but I used a homemade dark chocolate frosting between layers and a homemade vanilla buttercream for the top and then used a combo to decorate it. It's not perfect looking but from the pieces I trimmed and the leftover frosting, it was yummy! I want to make another one soon so I can slice into it and see the stripes.
The other cake I made was from here:
I have made these cupcakes several times and they are delicious! So for the auction I made a cake instead of the cupcakes. It's a heavy cake and you need milk to go with it but it's one of my favorite cupcake recipes. Peanut butter and chocolate go together so well!

Those look so yummy. And professional! I'm going to have to make those cupcakes for our anniversary. Eric's been bugging me to find a good peanut butter cupcake recipe. Those look perfect
