2012

BABYCAKES will be bringing in 2012 with a crazy special for all of our SugarWhores...

For every dozen cupcakes that you order in the month of January - you'll get a half dozen FREE.
I'll be posting more here, on the website, Facebook, Twitter, etc. about this as we head towards New Years, so keep your eyes peeled.

Happy Holidays!

Happy National Cupcake Day!

and, I'll say it again...
Happy National Cupcake Day!

I know, I know... it was yesterday - but, I feel like it's still Friday, so we'll go with it.

In honor of said holiday (we should all take the day off from now on) we're going in inundate you with pictures from the last few weeks.
It's been crazy busy around here, hence the lack of postings (and sleep) so - here are a few of the fruits of BABYCAKES labor, so to speak...


Peppermint Hot Chocolate


these were for a holiday event that House Boutique in La Plata hosted.


also for House Boutique, in La Plata


last one from House Boutique

if you haven't seen our "present boxes" yet - here they are.. individually boxed cupcakes, the boxes and ribbon are, of course, custom to your event and filled with some love for our SugarWhores.. perfect as a favor for a bridal shower, wedding, etc.

white chocolate butterflies and froggies for a lucky little princess's first birthday

don't you just want to kiss him (as you bite his cute little froggy head off)?

because every princess needs a crown -- these topped perfectly pink cupcakes and cake pops

just some of the 1,500+ cake pops that were delivered over the last few weeks...

bling, bling


the only thing better than sparkle, is sparkle that you can eat :)

So -- there you have it, just a few of the things that have kept me so busy! I hope that everyone is enjoying the holidays and their BABYCAKES! I'm looking forward to the New Year and what it will bring for this little business, my family and of course my SugarWhores.

Happy Halloween.. wait, it's Christmas?

I woke up this morning, looked at the calendar and proceeded to freak the hell out. It's November? Does this always happen the day after Halloween? Apparently so. Do I always have a melt-down when I realize that it's time for the sugary onslaught of Thanksgiving, Christmas and the other 400 celebrations that take place over the next few months. Now that I own my own pastry business, you're damn right I do... 
This last month has been a crazy one and here we are now in full holiday swing! But, I love it. It's really my favorite time of year. I swear. Bring on the holiday cheer. My favorite accessory other than buttercream is after all sparkle.




I hope that you all had a boo-tiful Halloween and that your candy isn't gone already! If it is, just steal some from your kids. They won't notice and think of it as protecting them from another cavity.


An army of spiders were eaten here at buttercream central and they were delish!


And, we turned out a few hundred spooky cake pops which were equally tasty!


Now. Moving on to the holiday's ahead.. You can check out the Holiday flavors here. Our Holiday box will be available in cupcakes OR cake pops. The sooner that your orders come in for Thanksgiving, the better... we'll be accepting orders between now and the 18th of Nov. (for Thanksgiving that is) and we'll be delivering through the Wednesday before (Nov. 23rd).
We'll be accepting Christmas orders until Dec. 20th and we'll be delivering through the 23rd of Dec.
As usual - any questions or orders can be placed via. the website or directly to my e-mail, babycakesSKJ@gmail.com

we're not dead! just busy! here's our hodge podge catch up!

I know, it's been weeks... however, it's been weeks of cake pops, cupcakes, wedding cakes, cookies, tarts and more for BABYCAKES! We've been up to our ears in buttercream.

The Civista Wine Tasting was a huge success! They raised over $100,000 for our local hospital and I'm pretty sure that BABYCAKES were a huge hit. We're received several orders from those that sampled our confections, set up a few wedding tastings and of course - the yum!'s and mmmmm!'s were a pretty good indicator. Did I mention it was a really good time, also? If you didn't attend this year.. make it a must for next year's to do list. Between the food, the wine, the music and the silent auction - you're guaranteed to enjoy yourself.

This was my view for the evening...


And, yes - it was difficult NOT to eat our samples.

Our booth was pretty cute, if I do say so myself..



I refilled that tower several times, and we were still empty by 7:30! Almost 1,000 confections disappeared!



We've got lots going on over the next months - including a tea/spa party for little girls and their mama's at the gorgeous Victorian Candle Bed and Breakfast in Hollywood, MD! There will be cupcakes, mani/pedi's and lots of awesome girlie vendors - more about that as soon as I get the details. I do know that it's November 5th from 12-4, so mark your calendars.. I'll post a link to tickets ASAP! 

We're also in the works of sponsoring a Bone Marrow Registration drive. It's come to our attention recently just how many people NEED bone marrow transplants... did you know that even if you sign up to be apart of the registry - your chances for being a match are only 1 in 546? It's quite difficult to find a match for everyone - and it could be that person's only chance of survival. If you're willing to join the Bone Marrow Registry, please do.. I will post more info about the drive when I get it. So far, it looks like it will be a good time on top of you doing a really good thing... think, cocktails and cupcakes!

And, finally - Holiday flavors will be announced this week! Sooooo - keep your eyes peeled. We'll be running specials for pre-orders via Facebook and who knows what else we'll throw out there.
