Anniversary Cake

Good Morning Everyone,

Just wanted to show the outcome of the cake we did for A customer's anniversary. I thought it was ok.

Missing in Action

Hello Everyone,

I know we have been missing in action. We have been busy with projects and trying new things. We now take orders for basic cakes in any flavor listed. I have posted pics of some of the cakes we have done so far. Although we mainly specialize in making just cupcakes our customers have been requesting cakes so we thought we would deliver them. We are also working on a big project right now in finding a home so please keep your fingers crossed. We have a cake to make next week for a Wedding Anniversary. I will post pics once it's done. We Hope everyone have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Georgetown Cupcakes

Timi and I went to take a sweet trip to Georgetown cupcake. We had bought four of their cupcakes, Redvelvet, Vanilla2, Chocolate2 and Coconut. My favorite was the Chocolate2, it taste just like a hostess cake. My least favorite was the coconut, it just had too much coconut on it. I noticed that they make their vanilla cupcake with cream cheese frosting, not bad. I will post pics soon. Have a great day!

Cupcakes are popping up all over

Okay, I went to Giant yesterday where I live and saw cupcakes in the bakery area. Not the regular cupcakes that you just pick up and go but the gourmet kind. I was shocked. They also have them in some safeways. I was shy to take pics but I will get it next time.

Hunting for sweets

Lemon and Vanilla w/ bailey's irish cream

This is the Red Velvet, it got a little messed up in the box..

Last week we took a little field trip to Fancy Cakes in Bethesda. I wanted to visit the competition and get a feel of a bakery. We decided to try three of their cupcakes, I had their gourmet lemon w/ lemon buttercream, and Timi got the vanilla bailey's irish cream w/ bailey's irish cream frosting and we also got their red velvet cupcake what taste like cream cheese frosting. The best one was the red velvet. here are pics of the cupcakes we had from Fancy Cakes by Leslie.

Vanilla & Chocolate Cupcakes with Swiss Chocolate Buttercream

Good Morning,

Here are the pics of the cupcakes I did for my Godson's cookout. His Mom hid them from everyone, They were that good!!! :)

Mini Cupcakes Instead

Hello Everyone,

I have decided to do mini cupcakes instead of regular cupcakes, that way everyone will be able to taste more than one. We did a survey on the cupcakes we already made to get feedback on the product we were putting out and we received excellent feedback. It gives us a chance to see what people look for when purchasing cupcakes, how much they are willing to spend and what they thought about the taste just incase we need to go back and make improvements. I will put the survey out to you guys to get your feedback. I would love to hear from you.

oh, I have not forgotten to post pics of the cupcakes I did for my Godson's cookout. I will post them shortly. Talk to you soon!

Vanilla and chocolate with swiss chocolate buttercream frosting

Okay, so I made cupcakes for My Godson's pre-K graduation cookout and they turned out great. I got a good review, it was said the cupcakes were the bomb! I am excited and ready to move on. So this week I will be making chocolate cherry and lemon. Wish me luck!

Red Velvet Cup Cake 2.0

 So   I took another crack at making this southern delicacy  with Mr. Josiah in tow of course  and low and behold  I forgot the the catalyst... baking powder!
it came out moist and delicious but thick  so I guess big ups to all the supermoms out there  who perfect everything  without making mistakes my heart goes out to you.

chocolate with swiss chocolate buttercream frosting

Okay, Yesterday I made triple chocolate, vanilla and yellow cupcakes with three types of frostings. Strawberry, Swiss chocolate buttercream and vanilla buttercream frostings. The swiss chocolate buttercream was not an easy job but it turned out great. I took them in to work today and they were a hit. Last week I made strawberry with strawberry icing and vanilla with vanilla buttercream. Everyone enjoyed those as well. I didn't take pics of the first two type of cupcakes I made but I will post pics of the cupcakes from this week.

Thank you for tunning in. I hope everyone had a good day!
