Prince William's Groom"s Cake...

Everyone has Royal Wedding fever these days so I decided to check out as much about the 'Royal' treats as I could.  The cake is as hush hush as the wedding gown, however, the baker and the flavor of  Prince William's Groom's cake has been revealed. 

It is really a large cookie rather than a cake.  And does not have to be baked at all.  It is a refrigerator cookie, very chocolaty and very crisp.  I think we will make it tomorrow.

Really love Bakugan? We can do almost anything on your cupcakes.

Spring is here...sort of

If the thermometer where you live has you confused as to whether it is truly spring, you are not alone.  In many parts of the country this has been the coldest spring in history.  That means planting crops has been delayed and in some instances fruit trees and vines may have sustained damage. What does this mean to our loyal cupcake aficionados?  We have seen price increases across the board on supplies.  We are doing everything to maintain our pricing and still bring you our delicious, mouth watering confections.  What can you do to help?  Buy, buy, buy.  It is no secret that the larger the quantities of commodities that we buy the better the pricing.  So thank you all for your continued support.  And remember that the sun is always shining in our bright yellow shop!

A wee bit of the Irish...

Happy St. Patrick's Day Everyone!  As a child I attended St. Patrick's Catholic School so I can relate to this day with a bit of nostalgia.  Everything is coming up green and my bakery was no exception.  We concocted every kind of green cupcake you can imagine and even threw in a few green roses.  In the deli my cook made white chili, but she drew the line when I suggested a "wee bit of the green" be added to the pot.  Oh well maybe next year. 

What fun..

There is nothing I enjoy more than watching the faces of my customers when they really are enjoying their cupcakes.  What is it about cupcakes that makes the world a little bit more...well right!

I am in create mode now.  I can hardly wait to get in to my kitchen and play with a new combination of flavors.  I am centered around chocolate right now.  I found some terrific raspberries at the local Yokes Food Market and they became the centerpiece (literally) of a rich dark chocolate cake filled with raspberries and topped with white chocolate ganache.  Oh my!!!!

The challenge is to provide my little indulgences and keep my costs down.  Butter, sugar and flour have risen in price more than 7% in the last few weeks.  But for now all is well and I can create.
