My latest order came out of one customer's great idea. This parent was concerned about birthday party invitations that would mean her son eating cake filled with artificial food colors, trans fats, and way too much sugar.
As many of you know, artificial food colors that are found in every single store-bought cake have been found to cause or increase hyperactive behavior in children. In fact, many other countries require foods containing these chemical ingredients to carry a warning label. No joke!
So in order to be prepared for upcoming parties, this client ordered a dozen cupcakes to freeze. Upon receiving a birthday party invitation, she will take one cupcake out of the freezer for her son to bring as his cake to the party. What a brilliant idea!
When you order cupcakes, they will come in a freezable plastic container. In order to freeze them properly, I recommend the following:
1. Once you receive them, remove them from the container and place them(open without any cover or plastic wrap) on a cookie sheet in the freezer until the frosting is frozen solid.
2. Remove and individually wrap each cupcake in plastic wrap.
3. Place all individually-wrapped cupcakes back in the plastic container they came in. Then put back in the freezer and use within 3 months.
And while we're on the subject of cupcakes, I'd like to announce the addition of new flavors to the choices: Pumpkin cakes (and cupcakes!) and cream cheese frosting!! This great combo is perfect for holiday parties! Call 612-590-1070 or email

One of our favorite family Christmas traditions is to make a cake and sing "Happy Birthday" to Jesus. This year, instead of a cake, I decided to make gingerbread cupcakes with ginger cream cheese frosting. My mom asked how I was going to write the words "Happy Birthday Jesus" on cupcakes and Voila!
