New Year Brings New Brides

Happy New Year and congratulations to all of the new brides and grooms out there. We would like to welcome you to the upcoming Bridal Shows that we will be partaking in for the next few months!



We would like to know what you want your dream wedding cake to look like, and to talk to you about your upcoming plans. We'll have themed wedding cakes on display, and many pictures of cakes we have created for our clients. Just as important, we want you to sample our cakes, and to know that what's under the icing is a fresh, moist, delicious cake, that will have your guests coming back for seconds. We are changing people's minds that "no one eats the wedding cake!"



Our plan, this year, is to WOW you, with the themed wedding cakes and favors, and the new, delectable favors that we offer, such as flavored Cakeballs, merging cake, buttercream, and chocolate, rolled into balls, and dipped in chocolate, then drizzled with your choice of colored chocolate to match your wedding colors. We also are introducing Truffle-T-Cakes, tea cake cookies enrobed by chocolate ganache, and a chocolate shell. Stop by our booth at one of these Bridal Shows, let us know that you heard about our cakeballs and Truffle-T-Cakes, and we'll give you a special surprise!!

Cake Balls!


I have learned of a new trend in the wedding and bakery industry, and have decided to join in the fun. Cake balls are scrumptious, decadent morsels of cake, buttercream, and chocolate, all mixed together, rolled into balls, and dipped in chocolate. They can be large 2 1/2 " diameter sized balls placed on a tiered cupcake stand, for a wedding cake display, or small 1 1/2" diameter sized balls that can be served as part of a miniature pastry display, or given as wedding favors, presented in 2" square boxes, to your guests! What's really wonderful is that it's a new form of going "green"; utilizing "cake scraps", a by-product of leveling off wedding cake layers. Instead of throwing perfectly good extra cake away, I can make a tasty, moist, decadent chocolate dipped morsel, in unlimited choices of flavors.

Chocolate Fountain at a Sweet 16 Birthday




We had the opportunity to provide the cake and a chocolate fountain at a sweet 16 birthday party, last night, serving 300 guests! It was quite an event, and experience. Dancing is a lot different than when I was that age, and that was only 5 years ago. LOL. My daughter, Taylor, who is also 16 and the "star" of our YouTube Video, "STOREBOUGHT!!!?", enjoyed helping us with our table upkeep, as well as observing such a large "shindig"

Firefly Night Cake Challenge


Thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to be a little creative at a cake challenge, at the Firefly Night, held at the University of Connecticut Alumni Center, in Storrs, CT. It was a cocktail event, benefitting the Channel 3 Kids Camp, put on in conjunction with ESTOccasions. Wish I could have stayed to see the other challenge entrants.
