New Blog!

       Finally! A blog for our cupcake business! Let me start by saying that I've never had a blog before, so bare with me.  I figure a good place to start is a question that I have to remind myself of every now and again;  "Why did we want to make cupcakes in the first place anyway?" Well, to put it simply, it started with Halloween. Imagine your at work and they're having a baking contest for Halloween. What are you going to make? Something easy, "cute", and  could use a box cake mix. Cupcakes! That's becoming popular right? It's fool proof. Unless you're like me and are extremely messy. I don't mean, "Whoops, I spilled a little milk. I'll just wipe it up.", I mean, 3 days later I can still see cake mix on the ceiling and I'm not sure how it happened. Either way, how would we decorate it to make it look Halloween-y? In the end, we came up with a chocolate cupcake with a vanilla frosting and dyed it pink. Then we squiggled lines on top to make it look like brains...we thought it was clever.

They're certainly...something. They didn't taste awful nor did they taste awesome. Following this little experiment we started making cupcakes for little gatherings, pretty much any excuse to mess around with cupcakes to experiment with flavors and making our own batter because lets face it, boxed cake mix has its time and place (like when you're extremely lazy and vanilla or chocolate will suffice), but having your own perfected recipe makes you feel like you should have your own food network show, but then you realize you're way to weird and awkward to be in front of a camera. Months later, we have our own business started up and have made many dozens of cupcakes with favorite recipes and unique cupcakes that people actually want buy, so that's good enough for me. :) So, what better way to show our progress and share ideas than a blog? Expect a new post once a week with new recipes and hopefully more ideas that inspire you to start something yourselves or just be like me, who reads food blogs and watches the food network and never actually makes any of it.

Contact information is on the right ==> and we look foward to providing cupcakes for your next special event or a day where you just want a cupcake.
