Cakes for the Summer!

Orange Creamsicle Cake made from scratch.  I tried looking for recipes online but I was disappointed to find that many recipes started off with a box of orange cake mix.  So I experimented a little with my own recipe and I was extremely happy with the end result.  It was a success!

Pina Colada cake made from scratch.  Took my own spin to this as well.  Found this awesome pina colada extract for the cake so that I didn't have to use rum.  I also added some coconut flakes to the cake batter.  I filled the cake with alternating layers of pina colada buttercream and pineapple filling. It was yummy!
