January is a great month for me to organize, re-group, and begin planning my new year! All spring, summer, and fall, here at Megan's Cupcakes we are busy baking wedding cupcakes and have custom designed cupcake displays for each individual bride and groom's special day. But when January comes, I get to be the bride again and put together my own custom display for my Bridal shows. I'll be choosing what I think will be fun and classy way to serve up wedding cupcakes and choosing my favorite flavors for taste testing at the shows! One of my fall brides actually inspired me this year and I will be going with a vintage classic theme that I am sure you will love. I hope to see you there!
Please join me this January at two Bridal Shows I will be attending! This is a great time for wedding planning. Not only will you be able to visit with the local wedding vendors, but you can taste test Megan's Cupcakes and check out all the display ideas for weddings and showers! I look forward to meeting you!

Mid-season shut down!
Mid-Season Shut down!
In order to better serve you, our cupcake kitchen will be experiencing a temporary shut down from Saturday, October 15th to Friday, November 18th. We have decided that being between wedding season and the holiday season is the perfect time to undergo some improvements. This will mean that my usual PBS deliveries on Monday Wednesdays, and Fridays will be on hold until Monday, November 21st. I am still available for chatting, emailing, and planning future events during this time so please feel free to contact me! Please don't worry as I'll be back in time to bake for you during the holiday season! In the meantime, enjoy the beautiful fall weather we are having!

Off she goes!
If you have had the opportunity in the past year to visit me in the cupcake kitchen, have seen me at a wedding show, or caught a glimpse of our cupcakes being set up for an event, then you probably would have met our Assistant Baker, Rochelle Wert. If you have had the opportunity to enjoy one of our cupcakes over the last year, then chances are they were mixed, baked, and or frosted by Rochelle. We really should have kept track of the exact number of cupcakes she may have actually frosted, it must be in the thousands!
Rochelle joined me in the kitchen last fall as a Wexford Missaukee Intermediate School District Career Tech Center student "intern". As a Senior in High School she spent half of her school day in the Culinary and Marketing program. I really just thought I needed someone to work beside me washing dishes, but she quickly moved from an "intern" role to my Assistant Baker and my right hand gal. By the end of this summer she was able to take a lead in the kitchen so I could spend more time doing some of the behind the scene operations and preparations for our larger events. In the back of my mind I thought if I got another call from Cupcake Wars and actually made it on the show, I could do it now! But only if Rochelle was by my side!
When I first met Rochelle, her dream after graduation was to be accepted and attend Culinary School where she could specialize in pastry. Next week her dream is coming true! Rochelle will be heading to Rhode Island where she will be attending Culinary School at Johnson and Whales University, which boasts some famous alumni such as the likes of Emeril Laggasse.
I am going to miss having her in the kitchen, but I can't wait to be able to hear about her adventures in the world of culinary! Please join me in wishing Rochelle the best of luck, safe travels, and Congratulations on her new adventure!

Celebrating Summer in Michigan with Megan's Cupcakes
Happy Summer! We are in full swing catering many events from weddings to birthdays to back yard barbecues. In addition to baking cupcakes, we have been busy updating our website and would love for you to check out our new and improved site! If you are interested in following us on a daily basis, watching for new flavors, and seeing photos of our latest work, please check us out on facebook. We are very excited to be near the 500 fan mark!
For July and August we will be celebrating summer in Michigan! Please join us on Saturday, July 30th from 11am-2pm in downtown Cadillac for Sidewalk Sales. Megan's Cupcakes will be setting up shop between Platinum Noir Salon and Atomic Closet. We will have Michigan Black Sweet Cherry Butter Cream Frosting Shots free to sample, and our new cupcake flavor, Cherrilicious! This is a Black Sweet Cherry Cupcake topped with Cherry Butter cream garnished with a cherry on top! We'll have cupcakes for sale by the individual or in 6 packs. While you are sampling your Cherry Buttercream, Megan's cousin, Emma, will be face painting. Have a cupcake painted on your cheek for $1.00. The proceeds from face painting will go to benefit Project Christmas!
Our August flavor of the month is another Michigan favorite, Blueberrilicious! This is our Blueberry Cupcake topped with Blueberry Butter Cream. We use Michigan blueberries that are locally grown, puree them to put inside the cupcake batter and in the butter cream. When it's all baked and frosted, we garnish the cupcake with a little blueberry on top! Not only are they a beautiful shade of blue, but they taste great too! You will love them!
On a side note, my cupcake kitchen will be closed from Monday, August 8th to Thursday, August 11th so I can enjoy some of the beauty Michigan has to offer with my family! We will be turning the ovens back on Friday, August 12th!

The Team, The Team, The Team
Former University of Michigan Football Coach and Athletic Director Bo Schembechler has a famous recording that was taken prior to the 1984 Washington vs Michigan football game where he talks about the importance of "The Team." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOmQJhHfGf8&feature=related
This weekend was crazy busy for Megan's Cupcakes. While I am not a crazy University of Michigan fan like our friends the Meyers, without my team, I never could have pulled it off today. Thank you to everyone who was part the Megan's Cupcakes team!

Megan's Cupcakes and Google Analytics
We launch our redesigned website a few weeks ago. Last Friday, my husband the internet marketing guru, installed Google Analytics to track the visitors on Meganscupcakes.com. Google Analytics is a free website measurement application offered by Google.
We are seeing some pretty interesting results. We have had visitors from 6 different countries including Canada, UK and Brazil. We have seen visitors from 19 different states -- and that is just in the first week. Just think what we will see in the future. It truly is a World Wide Web

Interested in winning a dozen free cupcakes? I am looking for the perfect photo of one of my brides and groom in front of their cupcake tree. If you happen to attend a Northern Michigan wedding featuring Megan's Cupcakes, I'd love to have a photo! Simply get the bride and grooms permission (as well as the photographers if this applies) and email me the photo for me to use in my marketing efforts. Please also email me your contact information and I'll be sure to reward you with a free dozen cupcakes!
Happy Summer!
