Hypothetically Speaking...

| 10 Comments

Deflation-1960-Two-women--003.jpgNow...I know we talked about old favorites that you'd like to see in an imaginary book and I thank everyone for the inspirational ideas (some we actually already make but they haven't made it on the official menu yet!). The thing about it is, that I'd also like to ask you hypothetically again for some requests. What if I were to hypothetically write a "how-to" book about opening a small business. Any burning questions you'd like answered? Advice you'd like to hear? Hairstyles advise that will land you the job?

Again, I'm just asking.

doughnuts.jpgWell, hello everyone! I know it's sort of shocking to hear from me because I've fallen off the blog wagon lately but I am seriously back! I've got a lot to share, but I'll break it up into daily posts so I don't blog you down with too much information.

Ok! So, if I was speaking hypothetically about working on a new cookbook that would recreate old, classic desserts and I asked you what you would hypothetically wish would be in that hypothetical book, what would you say? Is there any cake, cookie, pie, teacake, brownie, mish or mash that you've been dying to experience?

Just askin...

This made us tear up

Just wanted to share a touching note from customer:

stop me if you heard this before..................

I don't know where to start....I visited your bakery yesterday and got a box of 6 cupcakes and a piece of corn loaf to take home to my wife (we live all the way in Branchburg NJ). Getting a cupcake with frosting home on my 2 hour and change commute was not easy, but to do so for my wife, never a problem. The reason, I love her more than life itself! The issue of course for me is always her happiness, and for us food is one source of happiness. I happen to be an excellent cook yet I am no pastry chef by any means. That is where you came in.

First off your staff (a red headed woman) was a pleasure to deal with and she was very understanding as I explained my wife could not have soy, egg, dairy, casein, nut and gluten. She was very knowledgeable and just downright pleasant to talk to. She was critical in helping me make the "food safe" decisions I needed to make,,,,basically, which delicious cupcakes to buy and how to get them home still looking pretty!

Next stop home; I am a big fan of surprises, so after I cooked dinner I told her to close her eyes and then I sprung the cupcakes on her. With grand expectations (as my wife knows me all to well) she opened her eyes and it looked like she got her first x-mass gift. She knew I was doing research on your bakery and she basically tore into the box. After her first bite I knew they were as good as they looked (confirmed by me 30 minutes later when I had my first).

So long story short; THANK YOU......Thank you so much for baking such delicious goods that my wife now can enjoy such a simple pleasure in life again. Thank you, thank you, thank you!...... I plan on visiting you very often from now on. God Bless You....Paul and Dina Biscione, Branchburg NJ

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

Best Weekend Ever

| 1 Comment

Remember that Malibu Barbie Cupcake special I was telling you all about on Friday in honor of gay pride weekend? That cupcake that everyone kept asking us to bring back? Well, we got so pumped for gay pride we went full out making all these signs and stuff. Chelley even spent, like, 2 hours making a big old rainbow number on butcher paper. But in the end we only sold 4 or something. But you know what? We still had the gayest day ever and we owe it all to the high spirit that was coursing through the city. Thank you for a spectacular weekend!!! IMG_0239.JPG

And bonus: if you tell us you heard about the special from our blog and we think you're showing enough spirit we'll totally give you a buy-one-get-one-free deal. Love y'all!

I totally screamed with excitement when I saw this photo that Maritza from North Carolina emailed us. She made the Sweet Paradise cake adorned with Hello Kitty toppers. I don't know about anyone else, but if I were her daughter I would have hugged this cake. Yay Maritza!! sweet paradise1.jpg

Do you have photos of recipes you've made from the BabyCakes cookbook? We'd love to see them! Email us your photos and we'll post them on our blog!
