Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas, Cake Nation! We've spent the morning decking the halls here at the shop.


You can leave presents. Just sayin'.


We also wanted to let you all know we just posted our holiday menu on the side over there. See that yummy goodness?! The Gingerbread is one of my favorites - because it's my recipe. Not that that sways me or anything. 

Also, we've got some holiday hours we thought you should know. We're closed on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day in addition to our usual, Monday the 26th.  So, you'll need to grab your cupcakes and cakes before then. The 23rd we'll be open our usual hours.

Now, to end on something sweet, here are our Christmas 4 packs for this year. They are 1 Peppermint Stick, 1 Gingerbread, 1 Egg Nog, and 1 Cranberry Carrot Cake. All this sweetness for $8. 



Don't forget - check your list twice and call those cupcakes in ahead of time. We can have them boxed and waiting on you! 

Merry Christmas!

Garden Baby Shower Cake


This cake was for one of our most loyal customers. They'd just found out they were having another baby - a little girl. We were lucky enough to be the only other ones besides them to know the gender. So, this cake isn't really a shower cake, but a gender reveal cake of sorts. This, Cake Nation, is why I love doing what I do. Congrats Beecrofts!

Confetti birthday Cake


We're addicted to pinterest at the shop. I swear if we have a few minutes, we're pinning. Literally hundreds of pins a day. Well, this was one of those pins. So, when we have customers come in and tell us that we can pick a theme, we go straight to our pinterest boards. This was one of those cakes. I think it turned out fabulous!

Congrats and much love to you two, Wade & Mary.
