The Summer of Never-ending Weddings....
This summer/fall we have a ton of weddings and celebrations coming up. I'm so happy to be able to share such momentous occasions with the people I love most.
To start us off...this past weekend, dear friends; Dan and Maria were married at the Chester County Historical Society. As a gift to them, I prepared a sampling of my goodies to be displayed at the rehearsal dinner. I tied in the theme of "love birds" as well as the vibrant colors of orange and magenta into these signature desserts.
Desserts included; Cupcakes (Snickers and chocolate Strawberry flavored) Chocolate and Buttercream Whoopie Pies, and My Signature "Cake Push Pops" in various flavors.
Cake Push Pops in Vanilla/Peanut Butter, Chocolate/Peanut Butter, Traditional Vanilla/Vanilla, and Chocolate/Vanilla
Mini and Regular sized Whoopie Pies (Chocolate Cake with Vanilla Fluff Buttercream)
Congrats to the new Mr. and Mrs. O'Connor. May your lives be filled with love and "Sweet" moments, all the days of your lives!

Wine and Sports
Recently I did two orders for 30th birthday parties; one was a wine themed party, and another was a Philadelphia sports themed party.
Cupcakes are the easiest thing for adult birthday parties.They basically serve themselves. With tons of flavors to choose from, your guests are sure to be satisfied. I always do my best to represent the theme/decor of each event and make the cupcakes the "hit of the party".

CertainLEE an Exciting Week!
Last week I was honored to make a birthday cake for a special young boy Jaxon. Not only is Jaxon one of the coolest 10 year olds I've met, but he happens to be the son of Philadelphia Phillies Pitcher Cliff Lee.
10 years old is a Big Birthday, so why not have the Coolest birthday cake to commemorate the occasion. Jaxon wanted non-other than our beloved Phanatic to celebrate in style. (Not to mention, the Phanatic was just name the #1 Mascot in all of Sports! )
Jaxon is a huge Phillies fan and who could blame him, his dad does a great job of keeping our beloved Phillies ontop! We delivered to the ballpark where Jaxon was surprised with his cake (he didn't know he was getting a Phanatic cake, but was very hopeful) along with a few of his envious buddies.
The Lee's are a very down to earth and friendly family. It was a true pleasure to work with them and I was honored to help create a wonderful memory for Jaxon!
Happy 10th Birthday Jaxon
Go PHILLIES!

Tuesday Tips 4/26
So I ordered a few new tools. Once they come in I'll update how they work.
Here's what I'm trying out this month:
This Baking rack insert will give me more room in my oven for cake/cookies.
For $20 I thought why not!
I also got this Cooling Rack, another $20 for more counter space.
I'm also trying out some New extracts and oils I just got. Including new Madagascar Vanilla Bean Paste.
Sorry For the Lack of Posts the last two weeks. I was swamped with orders then went on vacation in the Wonderful town of Boston.
While there, I did a little researching.....
We visited Sweet Cupcakery and their cupcakes were fabulous! (My favorite was Red Velvet, while Nick fell in love with the place, the cheesecake cupcake and the counter girl!)
Have a Great Rest of the week.....It's a very exciting one for me, check back soon to see why!

Tuesday Tips! 4/5/11
Due to a 4 Hour Power outage, my Tuesday Tip is a little late.
Here's a few helpful tip for baking.
First, I use Flower Nails upside down in my baking pans as a baking core. This will ensure that your cake comes out evenly baked and takes a little less longer to bake. Wilton sells a baking core for $8 and it's a piece of CRAP, not to mention it leaves about a 2" hole in the middle of your cake. Save your money!
These Nails are about $1-$1.50 depending on size, you can get them at any supply store (Michaels, Joann...etc). I recently picked up a four pack of Aetco Heating Nails for $5.
For Cakes 10" or larger nails should be used. I use them in all my cakes, especially in my deeper 3" pans. Here's a picture of what it looks like in the pan:
Don't forget to spray your pan and the nail with quality baking spray before adding batter. I've experimented and quality counts, so I typically use either PAM Baking Spray or Baker's Joy.
They are both great and definitely worth it. I used a few other brands and wound up with a pile of crumbled cake with half of it stuck inside the pan. It is VERY Frustrating!
Thank goodness my co-workers and friends enjoy my cake scraps!
Happy Tuesday Wednesday!
