My weekends are starting to get booked for November and December, so planning ahead is key! Hope to hear from you.

Cupcake flavor of the Month

This weekend people hosting dinner parties around town in Cadillac, MI were able to experience a little taste of Michigan fall with the September Cupcake Flavor of the Month! Must have been all the rainy gloomy weather that gets us in the mood for spicy winter flavors. The first and foremost important ingredient are freshly picked Michigan apples from the local farmers market. The apples are sliced and chopped in small bits and added to the cake batter along with some cinnamon. The result is an old fashion type spice cake that is moist and fluffy with bits of cooked apples in every bite. The cakes are then frosted with a generous swirl of butter cream frosting, then creamy caramel is drizzled on top of the butter cream blending all the flavors of the apples, cinnamon, butter cream and caramel. They apsolutley melt in your mouth! Call me if you would like to try some- this one will only be available through the end of September.

Caramel Apple Cupcake

After living in Miami, Florida last year, I realized I hadn't experienced a Michigan fall in two years! There are lots of fresh veggies and tropical fruit in Florida all year long, but nothing like going to your local farmer's market and harvesting yourself a bushel of fresh picked Michigan apples. Today, my kids made caramel apples for dessert. Remember the old fashion kind? Where you peal the wax paper off the perfectly shaped piece of sticky carmel and use the wooden stick provided in the kit to poke your fresh apple? There is something about the changing seasons that can inspire us all. Look forward to an Apple Spice Cake with Butter Cream Caramel Frosting Cupcake tomorrow! It is the September Cupcake Flavor of the month!

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!

Chocolate or Lemon?

Chocolate or Lemon? That was the question of the day at the annual Cadillac Art Fair Taste of Cadillac Dessert Tent Friday and Saturday. The Love Inc. pies were a big competition, but still, everyone loves a cupcake! What we didn't sell, our church members devoured at coffee hour this morning. Every cupcake was eaten and enjoyed by all!

300 Cupcakes on the way to Taste of Cadillac

After spending most of the day in the kitchen, we have baked and frosted all 300 of our cupcakes for the Taste of Cadillac this afternoon and evening.

A Cupcake Party in Cadillac, Michigan

Today was a true test that both the young and the old love a cupcake! This afternoon, I did a Cupcake Party for a local chapter of the Red Hat Society in Cadillac, Michigan. I presented a cupcake baking demonstration of the all time classic Red Velvet Cupcake. While the cupcakes were in the oven, I whipped up a fresh batch of buttercream frosting, but added some very vibrant purple food coloring for the cupcakes. The red hatters, 4 at a time, took a try with a pastry bag and a 1M tip frosting their cupcakes and topping them with some red sprinkles. We all had a great time and the cupcakes were beautiful and yummy too!

Cupcakes at Kenwood Park in Cadillac, Michigan

Yesterday, we did our first test batch of our July cupcake of the month, our Chocolate Cherry Cola Cupcake with Butter Cream Frosting. Made with fresh Michigan cherries, these delightful treats are simply outstanding. These cupcakes are very light and fluffy with a hint of cherry and coco. Today, we made some Chocolate Cherry Cola Cupcakes to share at the Kenwood Park group play date in Cadillac, Michigan. My guess is mommies and kids alike will really enjoy our July cupcake of the month.

Michigan Sweet Cherry Cupcakes in Cadillac, MI

Megan's Cupcakes is recovering from our weekend of house guests and making almost 20 dozen cupcakes for various 4th of July events around Cadillac, MI! I never even got around to baking the new chocolate cherry cola cupcake flavor of the month for July, because everyone keeps raving about the Strawberry cupcakes! One bite of the strawberry cupcake and the next thing I know my phone is ringing for more! My son, is using our new cherry pitter to pit some fresh Michigan Sweet Cherries so I can make a test batch this week of some cherry cupcakes! Remember to indulge yourself. Have a cupcake! Bridget

70th Birthday Party Cupcakes in Cadillac, MI

We had a chance to restock today for our birthday cupcakes we are baking this weekend. We are baking cupcakes for a 70th birthday celebration. We are making three flavors of our birthday cupcakes. They are chocolate chocolate chip cupcake with fudge frosting for our chocolate lovers. The carrot cake cupcake with cream cheese frosting for those who want that old fashion taste in a cupcake. Last, for the weight watcher conscious, the angel food cake cupcake with key lime coconut.

July's cupcake flavor of the month is chocolate cherry cola cupcake, so I am on the look out for some fresh michigan cherries. I purchased a new cherry pitter kitchen gadget at Blackberry Rose in downtown Cadillac, MI so I am ready to go. I think our 4th of July house guests will be sampling these or maybe I'll just use more of the strawberry puree from the fresh Michigan strawberries my kids picked last weekend and make our wonderful strawberry cupcake with strawberry butter cream. They taste just like summer! Happy 4th of July cupcake lovers!

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.

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.

Please visit our website at www.meganscupcakes.com or e-mail me at meganscupcakes@gmail.com.

Megan's Cupcakes
