World Famous Gretcherinos

Yep we can sure have some fun in the bakery every so often!

And the invention of the Gretcherino shows you just how much delicious fun can be had!

What are some of your inventions that ended up on the “most wanted list”?!

Well let me tell you the Gretcherino was invented in about 3 seconds as I made the Metropolitan Cupcakes, I was thinking about what kind of dessert would be my signature dessert?

And this is what I came up with: My newest recipe for Vegan Vanilla Cake (yes I have several! LOL) it is baked into a Donut Mold because I LOVE DONUTS!

Filled with Fudge Icing because of course there has to be chocolate somewhere in there and that icing is hands down the best recipe ever!

Coffee sugar glaze for just the right hint of coffee flavor, because well, if you have been with me for years you know coffee and chocolate is my all time favorite combo!

So this is sort of like a “donut-y, cake-y, cupcake-y thingy”which is exactly how it would be explained by an irate customer who SWEARS you must know what she is talking about!

Let’s keep having fun with this idea so hit me up on my facebook page to share with me your signature creation!

But first be sure to try this recipe for the World Famous Gretcherino!

I have to say, I am delicious! LOL
