so, the world didn't come to an end.. we'll keep baking.

I am aware that it has been about 457 years since the last blog update. And, I'm terribly sorry for that. And - if there were more than 10 of you that actually read this thing, it might matter - but... yup.

So, we've been busy here at buttercream factory. The SugarWhore Cupcake of the Month club kicked off last month w/ May's delivery being Margarita Cupcakes! They were crazy-Cinco de Mayo goodness.. Lime cupcakes brushed with Tequila and Grand Marnier, Citrus Frosting and of course a salted/sugared rim. They were adorned w/ a little straw and slice of lime.. just 'cause. The husband (BABYCAKES' dishwasher) was inclined to eat them all, as he loves a good margarita.. but, I kept him at bay and all of my SugarWhore's got their deliveries.
 June's delivery is Raspberry Lemonade.. Meyer Lemon cupcakes w/ Raspberry Filling. Lemon Swiss-Meringue Buttercream all topped off w/ homemade Raspberry Sugar. Basically, if you haven't become a SugarWhore yet. You'll need to go ahead and do that now.

We are also working on an extra special project at the moment... A "new" confection. Well, I mean, not NEW -- it has existed for years.. but, we're putting our BABYCAKES spin on it.. and hoping that you all will fall in love with it just the same as we have.. more deets on that coming soon. Pinky swear.

OH! And, don't forget about our Dad's Day boxes... Chocolate Stout Cupcakes w/ Bourbon Buttercream OR Coffee Cupcakes w/ Fresh Whipped Cream and a homemade old fashioned doughnut on top. More info/pricing on the website - www.willhustleforcupcakes.com

So, I obviously haven't done the best job letting everyone know -- but, we make LOTS of other "sugar fixs" besides our Ethereal Cupcakes. We make cookies, tarts, cake pops, and the list goes on...

EVEN more important -- all of these things, cupcakes included are available as Vegan and/or Gluten Free!

Website should be updated at some point today as well...

Looking forward to seeing all my SugarWhore's the first weekend in June!

We are looking forward to spoiling our SugarWhores!

moving right along..

Goodbye Easter! BABYCAKES hopes that you ate too much sugar and enjoyed some relaxation with your family and friends. And, of course -- that you had great, homemade treats, not the same old, same old that had been laying around the shelves since January!!

Moving right along to Mother's Day.. Ladies and Gents. This is a very, very important holiday. Now.. it has nothing to do with the fact that I am a mother myself and throughly enjoy being spoiled. Nope, it's all about this simple fact. At some point in your life, you probably threw up, pooped on, screamed at, and generally made your Mother's life a tad bit difficult. Don't get me wrong -- more than likely, you have brought her great amounts of joy. HOWEVER, that whole changing your diapers (for years, mind you) and taking great care of you (again, for YEARS) means your Mama deserves something extra spesh! Combine the traditional sweets and flowers by sending her a BABYCAKES Mother's Day Box of Love.

A 1/2 Dozen Cupcakes (flavor/frosting of your choice -- what's Mom's fav??) topped with handmade fondant roses and hearts. Delivered to her door on Mother's Day! ($25)

Orders must be in by May 6th for Mother's Day Delivery.



Hippity Hoppity... Hippity Hoppity..

We are continuing our campaign against Chocolate Bunnies.

Did you know that 9 out of every 10 children would rather have a personalized Easter Basket from BABYCAKES than one of the store bought, pre-packaged, plastic things from the drug store? Well, it's true. At least, in BABYCAKES' circle of kids it is!

This is the deal -- you contact BABYCAKES and say, "I'd like to order two Easter Basket's, please! One for my son Colin and one for our daughter Kiera..." then, you let us know what day is best for delivery. What shows up at your door are two gorgeously packaged Easter Baskets. Your son's basket has a hand decorated tag hanging from the top that says COLIN and the same for your precious little princess, KIERA! Your son's vanilla bean cake pops are bright blue and of course your daughters are pretty pink! The baskets are chock full of sweetness.. hand decorated Easter egg and Baby chick sugar cookies, homemade marshmallow "Peeps" and it's all topped off with a flourless chocolate-rose cupcake. Now, you can't tell me you still want that white chocolate bunny from Cadbury that was made in January...

Don't disappoint your little chicks!

And, at $35/ea. and delivered to your door, you can't get a better hook up!

just say NO!

Get out your Faberge eggs and Jellybelly's -- Peter Cottontail is on his way! It's time to grab some sweets and spoil your littlest chicks! But, BABYCAKES would like to ask all of you to just say NO this year!

Just say NO to Chocolate Bunnies!

Yes, you heard me correctly. We are joining forces with PETC (People for the Ethical Treatment of Candy) to stand up to the mass production of those bug eyed, preservative filled, Cadbury bunnies! We want Nestle to know that what they give us year after year are stale, sad little rabbits that don't have nearly enough cocoa, cream, or decedance to satisfy our chocolate cravings! After all, Easter is all about the candy, right?

Show your support by purchasing an Easter Basket from BABYCAKES! Our baskets will be personalized with your child (or adult's) name and delivered right to the door of your choosing! They will be filled with pretty pink cake pops for girls and bright blue cake pops for boys, hand decorated Easter egg/baby Chick sugar cookies (from my partner in crime Cristin Terrill!), homemade marshmallow "peeps" (shown above these fluffy little guys are waiting to be dipped in yellow sugar!) and of course a chocolate-rose cupcake. $35/per basket

Place your order here! Orders should be placed by April 17th if you'd like delivery the day before Easter (Saturday April 23rd). As always, we thank you for your business and supporting us as we stand up against the homogenization of the American palate! 

We also appreciate your indulgence in our sarcasim. Cheers! 

Barrett/MacDonald Wedding Cake/Cupcakes

just a few shots of our first wedding cake...

spring is in the air!

The cake pops were a HUGE hit at Friday night's event for The Reading Connection. I'd say of the two flavors, Mint Chocolate was queen. Our Lemon Meringue cookies went over equally as well, and altho people are immediately skeptical when they hear things like apple/cheddar and chocolate/black lava sea salt -- they are always thrilled when they find out just how well these combinations compliment each other. Carla Hall (from Top Chef, for those that live under a rock) attended the event and read her rendition of Green Eggs and Ham, adorable! PS: she had on gorgeous shoes, which of course, made me love her even more! All in all, I'd say we killed it.

Back at the Bat-Cave, the website has been updated.... new photos, seasonal cupcake flavors and the "other petite confections" page is up and running.

Next up -- our black and white wedding cake and 200ish cupcakes for Saturday's wedding. Looking forward to the photographs of the finished product! It should be a gorgeous display of sugar.

Don't forget, if you order a dozen cupcakes in the month of April, you'll get a free box of "petite confections" with your order!
