Ready to bake cupcakes again this weekend

We are putting together our shopping list for our weekend cupcake baking demonstration at Blackberry Rose www.blackberryrose.com at 109 N. Mitchell St. in downtown Cadillac, MI. It was nice to have a few days off after our big wedding cupcake order this past weekend. As the month of June comes to an end, we are planning to switch from June's strawberry butter cream cupcake to July's cupcake of the month -- our Chocolate Cherry Cola with Butter Cream Frosting.

We look forward to seeing you on Saturday at Blackberry Rose.

Best wishes,

A Wonderful Wedding Cupcake Weekend

Well, we did it, we baked and delivered 300 wedding cupcakes this past weekend in Cadillac, Michigan. We also had some birthday party cupcakes as well (Happy Birthday J.P.). For both sets of cupcakes, we used our chocolate chocolate chip with chocolate fudge frosting and our June cupcake of the month our strawberry with strawberry butter cream frosting.

For more information about our wedding cupcakes, please visit our website at http://www.meganscupcakes.com or call my cell at 248-765-6957. On a side note, we are happy it is finally drying out up here in Cadillac, Michigan. We had several inches of rain and both Lake Cadillac and Mitchell were over the banks. It looks like the lake is starting to go down.

Wedding Cupcakes, Lots of stuff to buy...

We have completed our shopping for our wedding cupcake project this weekend. When you are baking for a big event like a wedding, you need lots of stuff. We have 40 sticks of butter, 20 cups of flour, 26 cups of granulated sugar, 40 eggs, 40 cups of powdered sugar, and 6 cups of fresh Michigan strawberry puree ready to go. The best purchase I ever made for the business is my Cuisinart professional mixer. This mixer has a bigger mixing bowl and 20% more power than the Kitchen Aid (and costs $100's less). I bought the mixer at Blackberry Rose, http://www.blackberryrose.com, in downtown Cadillac, Michigan. Without this power tool to make wedding cupcakes, we would be in trouble.

If you have questions about wedding cupcakes, please visit our website at www.meganscupcakes.com or call my cell at 248-515-2265.

Wedding cupcakes are on the way

After spending hours in writing out grocery lists, we are ready for our first big cupcake wedding! As with any small business, you learn things along the way. Like, how many cans of paint does it take to paint a wedding cupcake tree stand? The short answer is three. I can spare you the details of driving to down each time I ran out of paint. In addition to baking wedding cupcakes, we are also making birthday cupcakes for our good friends son's birthday.

We have always believed that cupcakes are a delightful treat for any occasion.

New Kitchen?

Well, we had a great weekend. We are thinking about new kitchen space for Megan's Cupcakes in Cadillac, MI. One of the hardest parts of starting a baking business is to have access to a professional kitchen before you are able to open your own store. We have found one. But, we really want to have our own. Please visit our website at www.meganscupcakes.com or e-mail me at meganscupcakes@gmail.com.
