Cookies and Cream - chocolate or vanilla cake topped with cookies and cream buttercream
Create your own - I haven't listed everything I've done. But if its a cocktail, I can infuse it into cake and buttercream. If it's a candy bar, most likely I can make a ganache with it. Name your favorite flavor or spice and I will infuse it into a complimentary flavored cake or buttercream.
