To Bake List:

So, I am a pretty big fan of makings lists when there are things to do.  Baking isn't really a To Do list for me, but lately, I have about a million recipes I'd like to try to make and find myself reading other blogs and Epicurious for inspiration so here, sort of in order, also sort of by season, is my current To Bake List:

Rainbow Sprinkle Cake!
French Macarons (seriously, the cutest little things I have ever seen)
Mint Whipped Cream
Black-Bottom Peanut Butter Mousse Pie
Smores Cupcakes
Chocolate Stout Cake
Banana-Chocolate Chip Cakes with Peanut Butter Frosting
Peanut Butter Cheesecake with Caramelized Banana Topping
Peppermint Meringues
Pink Lemonade Cupcakes with Buttercream Frosting (meant to make these this summer)
Pomegranate Sheet Cake with Lime Glaze
Chocolate Caramel Pretzel Cupcakes
Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cupcakes
An Ombre Cake (except I am awful at making cakes)
Vanilla-Bean Coconut Cupcakes with Fluffy Coconut Frosting

Some of these items I haven't made because I am afraid to try them (Peppermint Meringues and French Macarons) and some of them I haven't made because I don't know if anyone else would like them (Coconut Cupcakes with Coconut Frosting) and I don't want to be left to eat and entire cake/batch of cupcakes alone. And some items I want to make for others because I don't like the flavors (Banana-Chocolate Chip Cakes with Peanut Butter Frosting, Peanut Butter Cheesecake with Caramelized Banana Topping, Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cupcakes).  My husband has a love of flavor combinations that I do not really enjoy (i.e. banana and pumpkin).
