Summer is here!

It is summer at Megan's Cupcakes and we are in our busy season! We have turned the air conditioning on so our butter cream frosting maintains the perfect temperature. We have added another oven which helps speed the baking process up since we bake all of our cupcakes fresh the day we deliver. And last, Rochelle, is back for the summer following her first year of Culinary School! Welcome back to the kitchen Rochelle!! 

We would like to thank all of our Spring brides for entrusting us to make their wedding pretty and sweet.  Also, a big thanks to all the Mothers of graduating Seniors for letting us take the burden off their shoulders to do the baking for their graduation parties.  

Now its time for some fun summer events and flavors! June is Strawberry season in Michigan. Michigan strawberries are just starting to hit the markets. We use pureed Michigan berries in our Strawberry Cupcake and our Strawberry Butter Cream. They taste and smell just like summer! Then in July, our S'mores Cupcakes are back! These are a huge hit every summer and will remind you of summer camp and cook outs. We start with our graham cracker cupcake, fill it with marshmallow cream, frost it with a cooked fudge frosting, and then garnish with a mini toasted marshmallow. 

If you have not discovered it yet, we deliver fresh cupcakes to The PBS Marathon Station on the corner of S. Mitchell and Granite St. every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. You can purchase cupcakes individually from the doughnut case. 

In cooperation with the Independence Day festivities, we will be having a Cupcake Eating Contest on Friday, July 6th at 6:30 P.M. in the City Park in downtown Cadillac. You must register to be in the contest and only the first 10 to register will be allowed to participate. Registration forms are available and must be turned in at the Cadillac Area Visitors Bureau in downtown Cadillac.

Please join us for the 2012 Annual Festival of the Arts Taste of Cadillac food Fair on Friday, July 20th 4:00 P.M. to sell-out and Saturday, July 21st 11:00am to 4:00 P.M. You can find us in the Cadillac City Park by the Rotary Pavillion. Not only will we have individual cupcakes for sale, but we will also be individually toasting your mini marshmallows for you as well!

As always, we take orders by the dozen and will deliver to your home, work, event location, or even your camp ground.  Enjoy your summer and we look forward to baking for you and seeing you out and about in downtown Cadillac!

Best Wishes!
