Cupcake of the Month!

Ahhh... its here- in just a few weeks we will bit adieu to Spring and welcome the first official day of Summer. There is no better feeling than being right here- on the edge of the season: I say BRING IT ON! I'm ready for scorching sun, lazy afternoons and no socks until September (or October if were lucky)!

This months cupcake is an ode to one of our fav summer corner store treats- the Creamsicle! It tastes just like a summer treat should, the cake is super light and fluffy with a nice orange taste and the frosting is super creamy, orange y and delicious! Note** make sure you buy extra, because 1 is simply not enough!

Hello Summertime!!!

Cupcake of the Month!

People come from far and wide to buy yummy stuff's red velvet cupcake. It has become our signature flavor, with red velvet connoisseurs all over Toronto (and abroad) comparing it to the best of the best in Canada and the USA. To sum it up- it's flat out delish!

Which got us thinking.... perhaps we should shake this recipe up and see what happens. The results are yummy- white velvet is the new cupcake of the month! What did we top this tasty treat with? A lovely, light strawberry frosting! It's the perfect cupcake for the month of May- light and delicate with a punch of fruity flavor... what a perfect way to celebrate the arrival of Spring!

Cupcake of the Month!

Question... you know when you try something really yummy and you think to yourself "boy, that's delish! I wish someone would turn this yummy treat into a cupcake"? Yeah, we think that too...

That's why I am psyched to tell you about this month's cupcake- not only is it totally delicious, but it's a real twist on a classic, Canadian treat. Can you guess what it is?

Trivia: what famous no-bake bar, originated in the 1950's just south of Nanaimo B.C? If you answered the Nanaimo bar, you win! This month's feature cupcake is a Nanaimo bar cupcake- a chocolate coconut cupcake with a Nanaimo bar base and a vanilla custard frosting. This one just might be the cupcake that steals the spotlight!

Rock the Cradle Gala!

We were tickled pink when the St. Joe's health care foundation asked yummy stuff to donate 10 cakes to their annual "Rock the cradle" fundraiser! It was a great opportunity for us to be totally creative, every cake was totally different design-wise, but they all tied together color-wise. Take a look at the final product:

We are so happy with how the final product here looks, these cakes were given the best seat in the house at the Liberty Grand. Each cake was auctioned off in an effort to raise funds for St. Joe's new family birthing center and neo-natal intensive care unit. The event was very successful and over $425,000 was raised. Our cakes alone raised over $6,000!!! Read more about this great event here. In the meantime, please take a look at some of these great cake pics:

Cupcake of the Month... It's back!

Remember last year when your St. Patrick's day shindig was awesome? Do you remember why it was awesome? Because you ordered our cupcake of the month as your party treats. You were the talk of the town for weeks; and we basked in your fame. Have people already called you this year, begging to be invited to your annual St. Patrick's day bash? Do you know why? Because they have been dreaming about those cupcakes since last March 17th.

I am relieved to report that we have re-introduced the Guinness cupcake with a cream cheese Baileys frosting. So far, it's been sold out every day (don't worry... we have upped our production and will keep pumping these gems out as fast as we can!) It's good, tasting exactly how it should- dark, chocolaty cake topped with this dreamy, creamy, boozy frosting. It's almost as if they were made for one another... a match made in Irish heaven!

Hurry and order them before they are gone!

Cupcake of the Month!

Ahem... excuse the absence- so much for easing slowly and quietly into the new year- the phone is ringing off the hook, the shop is has been busy and we have been thinking about wedding cakes, Valentines day, custom orders and everything in between.... it really has been great! Now that we have a minute to catch our breath, let's talk cupcakes.

To make up for no posts, allow me to totally blow you away with this months feature cupcake- but first let me offer a warning: this cupcake is not for the faint of heart- it's decadent, chocolaty and filled with a delicious surprise. Chocolate cupcake with a passion fruit curd filling and topped with a velvety sour cream chocolate ganche. Yum! It's not often that posts about the monthly feature are made this late- this cupcake is definitely worth a trip down to the shop... hurry, you have less than 2 weeks left and these little treats are selling like hotcakes!

Cupcake of the Month!

Happy New Year! After a lovely extended holiday, we are back in the baking groove! I would like to take a minute to encourage you to break all your new years resolutions and come in for some treats... we are fully stocked everyday with super yummy goods. Resolutions-shmesolutions.

Speaking of breaking it off with resolutions... you might be interested to hear about the new cupcake of the month for January. This month, we are giving you your favourite comfort food in a cupcake. Think about your favourite sweet comfort food... now imagine if you could enjoy this in the form of a cupcake... meditate on this for a minute (try not to drool). If you thought about gooey, warm, hot-from-the-oven chocolate chip cookies- I have a surprise for you: our cupcake of the month is "milk and cookies"! A chocolate chip cookie dough cupcake (seriously... this cupcake has the softest texture with chunks of chocolate chip cookie dough baked right into it), topped with a dreamy-creamy vanilla frosting. But we are not stopping there- sitting on top of this gem is a tiny chocolate chip cookie.
This could be the cupcake to trump them all- please make a point of coming into the shop and trying one (or 4!) before the end of the month. Hey... maybe that could be your resolution!
