Special-Diet Desserts

9/4/2019

0 Comments

 
When Milli first began crafting gluten-free and vegan cupcakes she was a skeptic. She couldn't imagine how these desserts could achieve even a tenth of the deliciousness of her regular treats. But if you know Milli, you know that she doesn't quit, so when faced the challenge of making GF/V cupcakes and cakes taste great, she went to work to make it happen. Cap'n. 😉

In the beginning there was only GF chocolate. Then came vanilla. Today Milli makes GF Cookies 'n Cream, Red Velvet, Dr. Pepper, Confetti, Lemon and more. The shop has GF cupcakes daily.

Earlier this year Milli perfected her vegan cupcakes and now has a tastier and more varied collection. There are vegan vanilla most days. Other flavors are available when Milli bakes for special orders. 

And guess what she's working on these days ... KETO!!! 

Would you like to learn to make delicious special-diet cupcakes? If you do, you've come to the right place. Milli's teaching a Special-Diet Cupcakes course in 2020!! Her GF/V customers are always asking how she does it. Well, she's gonna share. 

The course meets for 2.5 hours one Monday a month February 2020 to May 2020. All supplies included:
  • Month 1: Gluten Free 
  • Month 2: Vegan
  • Month 3: Regular
  • Month 4: Keto
If you're interested, don't delay. The cost is $197 per person for the whole course or $60 per individual module. Limited spots available. Registration closes 12.31.2019. Email Zari at sweetgrits@zoho.com to register or with any questions.

Parties are scheduled in advance and include two (2) cupcakes, frosting and the decorations of choice for groups of four or more.

Did you know we serve food? We do! We're Cupcakes Bakery & Deli, after all. 

We'd love for you to come in for lunch and enjoy a sandwich before dessert. I enjoy food that's the size of my head so we make delicious sandwiches that take up a whole plate. For the daintier eaters, our sands are big enough for two. 

Hot or cold, our sandwiches are made to order and to delight.
In addition to making sandwiches daily, we have delectable BBQ Chicken Thigh and/or Pork Riblet platters. We want to be sure you're fully fed - meal and dessert.

Beef Brisket is available periodically. 

Picture
We have Soul Food options and great sides. 🤤

We serve up collard greens, cornbread, Mac & Cheese and red beans and rice. Oh, and potato salad. Milli makes everything in the shop ... it's truly homemade.

If those sides don't suit your fancy, we have jojos, fries and onion rings (call for availability).

Picture
Picture
And last, but certainly not least ... you can get fried catfish, breaded and seasoned in house. 🤤🤤🤤​

The catfish goes fast so please call ahead to order.

Here's some really great news:

You can order on Door Dash, UberEats or Grub Hub!

Black Forest Cherry Cake

4/10/2019

0 Comments

 
We had the opportunity to make Katie's birthday cake this year. Her husband called in yesterday and asked if we made Black Forest Cherry (BFC). Guess what ... we do! 

Milli can make just about anything; even if it's not a regular cake flavor. And cakes are made by special order only so patrons can make requests from quite an extensive menu.  
Picture
Picture
One of the delights of our BFC cake are the dark chocolate chips that are baked into the cake. I don't quite know how it happens, but they melt and mesh perfectly for taste when the cake is complete and being enjoyed. I suppose it's just chocolate doing what it's made to do - make you feel in love, loved and lovely!

Black Forest Cherry is one of our most-popular special request flavors. We make our BFC with cherries inside and on top with buyer's choice of whipped cream, butter cream or cream cheese frosting. Katie's cake has whipped cream.

​We made BFC with butter cream cupcakes with gold liners for a 50th anniversary party not too long ago. They were a big hit.

Above left shows the filling and on the right is the cake after the top layer has been placed.

Below left is the crumble being added. The right was a practice run for  writing on the cake board because I haven't done it in a while. I know how to do a decent portion of what my mom does, but I only do it when necessary. I generally prefer doing things such as posting her delicious creations on this blog.

Almost finished.

At last ... handing it over to another satisfied customer. This was his first time at our shop so we gave him a sample of the cake from the cut ends. He said we may be seeing more of him in the future than we expected. That's what we love to hear!
Picture
Remember us when you need a dessert that tastes spectacular for an event or get together. We'd love to provide the icing on the cake ... or cupcakes!

Let's eat!

Business Logo Cupcakes

3/13/2019

September 2018

We love making logo cupcakes!

Some of the Eastern WA Sprint retail stores - Columbia Ctr. Dr., Kennewick, Yakima Valley Hwy, Sunnyside and Alder St., Walla Walla - have contracted us to make the desserts for their Customer Appreciation Days. And let me tell ya' ... they know how to throw a good party. 

At Christmas, the Kennewick store partnered with a local radio station and gave away toys. They invited us to hang out and brought in a photo booth, too. 

December 2018

This month the Sunnyside store offered free face painting in addition to our delicious cupcakes.

If your business is looking for logo treats, call us! We offer a discount for large orders and can deliver, too. We also put logos on sugar cookies for those with a larger budget. Cookies can be individually wrapped for grab and go service for your customers and marketing contacts.

March 2019

Logo desserts are great for school and sporting events, graduations, birthdays, retirement — or just about any type of gathering you can plan. Give Milli a call for a quote or email her at busybaker@msn.com. Look through our gallery and posts for examples of sweet treats we've done before; and don't forget our Facebook page which has 1000s of cake, cupcake and cookie pics from over the years. 

Think sweet!

Hey, sweeties!

They say when life give you lemons, make lemonade. Well, lemonade is good but if you're a baker ... you make a cake!

A delicious and lightly flavored lemon cake with lemon and cream cheese filling, topped with snow white buttercream icing and lemon drizzle. Yum!

Do you see those big blocks of butter over there?! Yes, sweeties, this cake is homemade, handmade and full fat. Just like in the good old days before frozen and grocery desserts were everywhere. Haha!

I don't know about you, but that's the way, uh-huh, uh-huh, I like it.

I always say food/eating is a love language. Technically it's Acts of Service, but I know for sure Milli loves preparing delicious eats for and feeding others. And she put a lotta love into this one. I'm a witness.

We make cakes by special order only so if you're in need of a homemade, handmade dessert for an upcoming event, please give us a call at 302-0364 or email for a quote to busybaker@msn.com.

Sweet Potato Cupcakes

Hey, sweeties 😀

Did you know Milli makes the most-delectable Sweet Potato cupcakes in the world?! Well ... she does, and they're so amazing they've become one of our bestsellers. So you know what that means, right? These tasty treats are no longer a specialty cupcake, they're a regular flavor. 

We had a special order for a dozen a few weeks ago, and that was what tipped the scale in their favor. When they consistently sell out AND are ordered by the dozen to guarantee a customer gets as many as they want ... we realized we'd better keep them on hand.
Picture
Picture
Look at those plump, moist cupcakes. And the freshly made sweet potato filling peeking out. I went to the grocery store and bought the sweet potatoes that made it. Ha! Bet you thought I was gonna say I made it. Nope. I have more patience for eating than I do for baking so I only bake when absolutely necessary. I decorate regularly, but when it comes to waiting for and paying attention to an oven timer ... let's just say I'm highly distractable.

The dozen above went out to the order, and another half dozen went out to a special friend of mine. She inboxed me when she saw that we would have these on hand the next day, and asked for six to be set aside. She was at the shop waiting when I arrived. 😂

As she ate one she said that may have been THE BEST cupcake she'd ever eaten. And I'll just note that she and her mother are pretty spectacular bakers themselves. We don't take that accolade lightly.

Regular cupcakes are $3/ea and $30 for a dozen. Now through 10/6/18 I'm offering one dozen Sweet Potato cupcakes for $27. Order must be prepaid and requested at least 24 hours in advance. Might be a good idea to order for Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's now. Email Milli at busybaker@msn.com with SWEET POTATO SPECIAL in the subject line or call 302-0364. Delivery charges extra.

​Let's eat!
