Triple Berry Cupcakes

There is nothing better than summer than the tastes of summer. Strawberry season is way behind us, but my kids and I were able to squeeze in one more dog day summer activity, blueberry picking! We all probably ate as many blueberries as went in our bucket, but they were all little tiny bites of pure delight! Hence, our August cupcake flavor of the month, tripleberrilicous! If you liked the strawberry cupcake, you'll love our triple berry cupcake! It is the same white cake batter combined with a red raspberry, blackberry, and blueberry puree. The same puree makes up our new tripleberry buttercream! Join me this Saturday, August 30th @ Blackberry Rose, 109 N. Mitchell St., in downtown Cadillac between 10am-2pm for a free sample. If you just didn't get enough, after your sample, try a new frosting "shot" to succumb your sweet tooth. Then for $7.50 take home a six pack of cupcakes for your after dinner dessert! Hope to see you then, you won't be dissapointed!

Happy Birthday Cupcakes for Uncle Jack's 80th

One of the best parts of having your own baking business, is being able to share these delightful treats with special family members! Today, I attended my Great Uncle Jack's 80th Birthday Party and Feeheley Family Reunion with 6 dozen cupcakes in tow. I love it when my customers email me and tell me how their cupcakes went over at their event. This time, I got to attend the event and watch everyone enjoy lemon cake with lemon butter cream, carrot cake with cream cheese frosting, chocolate chocolate chip with fudge frosting, and angel food cake with key lime filling and coconut. It was great to see my long lost cousin, Kevin, to hear the great stories about Uncle Jack, and special thanks to Winston and Carrie for hosting!
