Gearing Up for Spring!

The winter has been a much-needed break, time to recoup and redesign. I'm looking forward to being back at the Market this year with a little experience under my belt. Any flavor requests?

ohmygoshisthisreallyhappening!?!?!?!?

For the potential half*caked customer who may still be reading this, first my apologies. I've been taking the winter off to test new recipes and rejuvenate and will be back to backing and posting soon.

But the big news? half*caked may be opening up a store front! We're working on possibly maybe fingers crossed if we can work out the details having a counter open at a boutique here in town. Cross your fingers, too!! I'll update as soon as we have an update!

November Delivery!

Our November delivery will take place this Friday, 11/20/09. We'll offer four flavors: vanilla*vanilla, chocolate raspberry, cookies and creme and one of my favorites, a coconut and custard cupcake. The coconut and custard is in honor of an old family recipe. My paternal great-grandmother, Nannie, used to make a coconut cake and a boiled custard. The proper way to eat the two was to cover a slice of cake with the creamy custard and let it soak in for a few minutes. It was amazing and after she was no longer able to make the custard, my mother took it on because it was such an important tradition. Now, I make the cake and she makes the custard and I'm learning the process! This cupcake will be Nannie's coconut cake soaked with a little boiled custard-- you may need a fork for this one!

As always, cupcakes are $2 each and the delivery fee is $3. Free delivery when you purchase 2 dozen or more. We can also deliver single cartons of Horizon organic milk if you'd like for $1.75 each.

Orders should be emailed to me by Thursday at 10:00am. You may pay cash on Friday or use your Paypal account. Paypal payments must be made by noon on Thursday.

Happy Monday!

Bueller?

Anyone out there? Anyone checking this little ol' baking blog? Just wondering. If you're there, here are a few pictures whilst I ignore my evening chores and procrastinate a little more while watching L&O.SVU. Tra la, tra la!

Do I miss it?

Over the summer, I baked all day on Thursdays and Fridays. It got a little easier with Maggie's help, but until the second weekend in September, I had two whole days that were consumed with flour and butter and sugar and whatnot. I'm enjoying the "time off," and it's giving me a chance to reflect and try out some new ideas. I've recently discovered IronCupcake and am flirting with the idea of joining in the competition (although this month's challenge may be out of my range (wink, wink)-- it's "Music"). I'm contemplating on flavors for this months delivery. Obviously, we'll do a pumpkin (but with a cream cheese frosting or a chocolate frosting?), and maybe a raspberry in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness (going for pink). Any ideas or flavors you'd like to see? Caramel Dipped Apple Cider was very popular, so we may offer that flavor again. Just need a chocolate based and we'll be set!
