The second one isn't that hard I find... Nd6 does the trick (and then either Nf7+ or Nf5+ followed by Qh4#). Black could try something fishy to try to prevent Qh4#, such as Qxg2+, but that doesn't solve much (and probably just delays mate anyway).

The first one, I couldn't find much of a win, except for simplifications that leave white up an exchange: 1.Bf5 Rxd1+ 2.Kxd1 Bxf5 3.Qc7 Bxc2+ 4.Kc1 Ba4+ 5.Qxc7 Bxc7 6.Rd6 and White wins a piece and is up and exchange. On 4.Kc1, White could try Kd2, but that's just asking for trouble with Nc4+ and some Q checks to follow... that's pretty bad.

Did I miss something?

1. Bf5 seems to be the best move, but what are you playing after 1...Bxf5 ?

Qc7 probably... it'll eventually transpose into the line that I wrote, as long as Black plays Rxd1+ at some point (which is necessary so that Bxc3 comes with check).
