Christmas Cupcakes!

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!



It's not too late to order your birthday/Christmas cupcakes and cakes for your upcoming get-togethers. Jesus is the reason for the season. Make a cake or order one and make it your family's holiday tradition to sing "Happy Birthday" to our Lord and Savior! Merry Christmas to everyone. May your day be filled with Christ's joy and love!

Two-Tiered Success!

For my most recent cake, I had the wonderful, exciting pleasure of creating a two-tiered cake for Thanksgiving. Like the other 36-serving cake, this tower of all-natural ingredients is enough for those big holiday parties.







This strawberry cake with vanilla and chocolate buttercream frosting featured a combed design on the sides and small shells around the edges. If you would like to have a tiered cake like this for your holiday party, contact me at vincepoff@ymail.com or 612-590-1070. It is $42 for this 36-serving cake. (More for gluten-free, vegan, or other specialty options.)



Children are a blessing from the Lord. Psalm 127:3

What baby shower is complete without a wonderful, all-natural cake to celebrate new life?! This particular cake was also strawberry with vanilla buttercream (definitely a crowd favorite!).


For your next baby shower, don't serve a new mom cake loaded with trans fats, bleached sugar and flour, and artificial ingredients! Give her (and your guests) the healthier option they deserve.

A Customer's Great Idea... (and a new flavor!)

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 vincepoff@ymail.com to place an order.

Chocolate Cake Strikes Again

The all-natural chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream was once again the star of the party. This nine-serving cake had people astounded that so much flavor could come from something that is free of artificial ingredients. No one would especially believe that it also contained whole wheat flour and organic sugar. Call or e-mail me to astound the guests at your next party with an all-natural cake from Nothing Fake Cakes!

Thank You Cake

After losing their home to a fire earlier this year, my grandparents hosted a "thank you" party in honor of all those who helped them out. For the party, I made a 36-serving chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream frosting. The party was lots of fun and the cake recieved rave reviews.
