Still need a few last minute Christmas goodies? Yummy Stuff is stocked full of Christmas treats- yummy stocking stuffers, host(ess) gifts and Christmas desserts galore!

To all of our customers: Thanks for making this year our best yet! Have a wonderful holiday season! See you in 2011!

Cupcake of the month!

I don't know if you have noticed, but we are knee deep in the Christmas season... I do believe that Parkdale may permanently smell like gingerbread from all the cookie baking we have been doing. Our oven has been doing double duty for weeks!

Because it's been nothing but gingerbread, gingerbread, gingerbread for the last few weeks we thought we would surprise you with something different- enter this month's feature flavour... Pomegranate cupcake! A cupcake made with real pomegranate (including the seeds!), topped with a cinnamon cream cheese frosting and sprinkled with fresh pomegranate seeds! Yummy!

Don't fret- for all you gingerbread lovers we are also featuring our ever popular gingerbread cupcake with chocolate buttercream frosting on it.

We are also featuring lots of awesome treats in the shop this month for Christmas (see below for our Christmas menu).

Alright- it's the beginning of the month which means you probably came here to read about our feature cupcake. I have never met anyone who doesn't care for chocolate- I will take it any way I can get it: dark, white, milk, nutty, fruity, salty or spicy, I love it all! There is a flavor combo that I am particularly fond of : MOCHA!

Yup... you guessed it- this month's feature cupcake is a mocha cupcake with mocha buttercream frosting, topped with a chocolate covered coffee bean! Yum! This month's cupcake will satisfy all of your cravings at once!

Cupcake of the month!

Whoa! Septembers S'mores cupcake of the month was a huge hit- tons of people poured into the shop to try it... and most of them came back for seconds and thirds!

But, September is over... which means that it's time for a new cupcake of the month! Last October we featured a really great cupcake that we have been receiving requests for ever since. We are happy to report that due to popular demand we are featuring it again this year! It's a Sweet Potato cupcake with orange cream cheese buttercream topped with pecan praline. So yummy!

We are also excited to bring back another flavour favourite from last year- pumpkin cupcakes with cream cheese buttercream. Yummy and oh-so-seasonal!

Cupcake of the month!

September is already here! That means it's time for a new cupcake of the month!

September is about savoring the last few days of summer- it's time to enjoy one last swim in the lake and a few more ice cream cones. Bathing suits and sandals will soon be swapped for cozy sweaters and winter boots. Time to have a few last summer bonfires... roast some marshmallows and eat a few more s'mores.

Wait!!! No need to go out and buy all the fixin's for s'mores- just come to yummy stuff and pick up our cupcake of the month: graham cracker base, chocolate cupcake with chocolate filling and a burnt marshmallow topping! I suggest picking up at least 2 for everyone... they are that yummy!

A great back-to-school treat!

Ahhh... school lunches: peanut butter and jam sandwich, crisp red apple, celery sticks and cookies: this has been the classic lunch since...well...sliced bread!

How about celebrating the new school year with a sandwich cake? Delicious vanilla flavoured pound cake with a peanut butter/milk chocolate and raspberry jam filling...Mmmm... yummy!

Don't be fooled by the pictures: that's a full sized cake plate, this is no ordinary sized sandwich. This clever treat serves 10-12 and costs $25.00. Please call us at least 48 hours in advance if you would like to order!

Yummy Stuff Offering Gluten Free Treats!

One of the most popular requests we get at yummy stuff is for gluten free treats. Until now we've had to turn our gluten free customers away... baking is a tricky business and doing so without traditional ingredients is even trickier! We are happy to report that (after a few test batches) we now have gluten free cupcakes and cakes! Perfectly moist, spongy cake with our oh so popular buttercream... we promise, you won't miss the gluten!

We can make gluten free cakes and cupcakes in the following flavors: chocolate, vanilla, raspberry and lemon. If you would like to order some gluten free treats, please call us at the shop (416)531-9732 or, email us at info@yummystuff.com.

Cupcake of the month!

This month, Yummy Stuff is celebrating a great fruit! The Mango!

Mango's are great- you can put 'em in or on almost anything and they taste good: throw one in a smoothie, make a couple into a chutney, puree one and throw it in a sauce for a fruity kick! Now, the mango becomes a cupcake!

This month, our bakers have outdone themselves with a yummy mango cupcake, topped with a mango buttercream frosting and a lime curd filling. A perfect balance of sweet with a hint of tart filling! Yummy... Enough said!

Fathers Day Treats!

Do you have the best dad ever? I do. It seems as though Dads are pre-programmed with a unique set of skills and can, on any day, be one (or all) of the following: fixer of all things broken, professional landscaper, BBQ-er extraordinaire, champion beer drinker, plumber, personal finance adviser and comedian. Let's all give our Dads a big hug and spend some time with him this weekend.

We have you covered this Fathers Day: swing by the shop and pick up something yummy to show your Dad how much you care. How about some cookies in the shapes of his favorite things? Maybe your Dad likes cake? Maybe he fancies pie? Or, maybe he is a golfer- why not pick him up a chocolate cupcake with "golf green" frosting and a golf ball topper he can use for his next tee time?

Time to treat Dad. The weather in Toronto is supposed be beautiful this weekend. I'm thinking a BBQ (burgers of course!) with potato salad, coleslaw, cold beers and lots of yummy stuff!

Cupcake of the month!

Wow! June already? The month of May sped by us- we spent a lot of time making some really beautiful custom cakes for many happy customers!

This month's cupcake is a real treat: orange and poppyseed, another winning flavour combo. It's the perfect treat to begin our transition into summer: light, spongy and delicate. Also perfect for snacking while strolling along Queen west- come by the shop and pick one up! Yum!

In other news... are pastry case has been home to some pretty great treats in the last few weeks. Nothing beats the extra-special treats we had this weekend: open faced strawberry pie made with... local Ontario strawberries! Summer bounty is here! Stay tuned for lots of yummy updates!

Sushi for Dessert!

Take a look at this fun cake we made a few weeks ago!
A customer came to us with several ideas and pictures of what she wanted and this is our interpretation- an entirely edible (even the chopsticks) cake!

This cake is a great example of what yummy stuff can do for you. Do you have a great and unique idea that you don't see featured on our website or blog? Give us a quick email or phone call and we can work together to make you a great cake!

If you are interested in having your own sushi cake, please take note that we need a minimum of 7 days notice. This particular cake costs $6.00/ serving and can be made to feed a crowd of any size!
