The Red-velvet Cheesecake



The ultimate dessert combination, Red-velvet and cheesecake without the biscuit base.

I must say at this moment, it tastes out of this world, SIMPLY AMAZING!!!!!
Words are just not enough to describe what I felt when I tasted this cake, all I have to say is you need to TRY IT OUT YOURSELF!!!!!




















Warning: Never underestimate with what you see on the outside

True beauty is always on the inside


The colour contrast is simply beautiful, just imagine this sitting right in front of you. There's no "fronting" for this one LOL!!!!! A friend who came over last night, just couldn't resist despite all her strict diet rules, I love you sweets (She's always available to give a verdict and REX too LOL!!!)

The perfect dessert slice
Serving Suggestion: Spice this up with some fresh strawberries, whipped cream and some melted chocolate to be extra naughty, you will not be saving any calories here I must warn you!!!!! In the near future, expect to see a sugar free range for the health challenged and weight watchers. You can eat your cake and have too !!! (WATCH THIS SPACE)


Start placing orders
Going for the third bite 












So why not treat yourself or that special someone to something unique and nice, give them something with that WOW!!!! factor. I am so sure this will end many arguments and save many relationships. WINK  WINK!!!

This is available for individual consumption or for your events, in sizes 6 to 14 inches, for further enquiries you can reach me via email at sprinklesandcocktails@gmail.com. 48 hours notice period is required, unfortunately I am booked up this weekend for the independence day celebration ( Look out for our Oct 1st celebration cakes).

Expect to see more versions of this, Rich chocolate cake cheesecake, Dulche de leche cake cheesecake and so much more!!!!!



Do have a lovely weekend and I look forward to hearing from you all
Love always

Vintage Rose Red-velvet Cake


Hi everyone, hope you are having a lovely day today.

I got busy baking a birthday cake for a friend in London, to deliver to her mum here in Nigeria ( YES!!! we take orders from people in the diaspora to be delivered to their loved ones in Lagos)

This red-velvet cake is 8 inches wide, layered and covered in a fluffy cream cheese frosting, decorated in vintage style, with red roses and red & white lace ribbon.

The roses give a very strong contrast
All boxed up :)





















RED VELVET 101
A little history about red-velvet cakes. This is a southern american style buttermilk based chocolate cake, that originally got its reddish hue from the reaction between natural cocoa powder and the acidic ingredient found in buttermilk. However, today the reddish colour of the red-velvet cake is derived from red food colouring and this could be translated into other recipes, whoopie pies, pancakes, cheesecakes and so much more. Red-velvet cakes are usually frosted with cream cheese frosting for that added flavour, YUM YUM !!!!

What you derive from eating a red-velvet cake is a delicious and subtle flavoured cake; that's not quite chocolate and at the same time not quite vanilla!!!!

Redvelvet coated with crumbs and nuts
Sometimes I treat myself to something nice :)

Can't wait to try this, indulging in two desserts at once, just how naughty can one get!!!! LOL



Have a beautiful day!!!!
Love always

WELCOME

A very warm welcome to my blog!!!



I am truly excited about this, because I seem to be backward technology wise :(

Sprinkles and cocktails is a cake and dessert catering company. We provide fruits, cakes, cupcakes, cookies, brownies and so much more, for your daily consumption and events. We create bespoke displays tailored to your events and requirements.

I will bring you up to speed with my journey so far as a cake baker. 
As a creative spirit, I decided to go into cakes "especially cupcakes" because they are just the  cutest little things and all it takes is a combination of flour, sugar and everything nice and you turn out with something truly beautiful. My passion for desserts came along the way by demand and I am still developing my skills and building my dessert range. 

I enjoy the kitchen a lot so occasionally you might find that I digress a little from the norm, because I am constantly experimenting. I will be happy to provide you with some of my recipes whenever I can.

My Very First Time :)
They don't look so pretty but I love the playful colours. I will have an attempt at a modern day version these. Lol

Not to bore you anymore, but I really look forward to having you here. Feel free to throw questions at me, you can also reach me on sprinklesandcocktails@gmail.com for orders and enquiries.

Thank you!!!!
