 Everybody loves sugar cookies. They're a perfect treat for corporate events and customer appreciations. Last month we made these for Columbia Electric Supply in Pasco. A few years ago we made these for WSU Tri-Cities and have since had orders for Cougar grads and fans.  With your logo, name, photo or something we design for you, sugar cookies are delicious option for all your sweet needs. We'd love to brighten up your dessert - or dining room - table with our sugar cookies.
Give Milli a call or email busybaker@msn.com for quotes. Large orders need to be placed and paid for at least seven [7] days in advance. View more of our sugar cookies on the gallery page of this site.

 I went on a Cupcake Adventure yesterday. It was supes fun. 😊 I chose our Fourth of July Flash cupcake for my evening dessert. Since I hadn't eaten dinner when I got it, I had to distract myself so I didn't indulge before the proper time. So ... I took the delicious-smelling treat with me on my route home and Instagram was the perfect journal. ^Z  Here's an invitation for you.
When you buy our cupcakes to go, take some pics of them around town and: 1. Tag us on Instagram @cupcakesdeli AND 2. Use the hashtags #cupcakesdeli AND #cupcakesaroundtown AND #sweets AND 3. Follow us on IG! Then, we'll enter you into a drawing to win a 4-pack of cupcakes!! Yum! [This giveaway is ongoing so you can participate any time 😀. Participation indicates consent for the use of your #cupcakesdeli photos being used by Cupcakes Bakery & Deli LLC, Tri-Cities, WA.] See you out in these cupcake streets! 🤣 
We love love and we love weddings!!
Here's The Armstrong Wedding from January 27, 2018, held at Tucannon Cellars, 40504 Demoss Rd., Benton City. Simple and elegant, we were honored to have been a part of their special day. We catered the eats and made the sweets. Yes, folks ... we can do both so keep us in mind for upcoming events. Just send Milli and email to @busybaker@msn.com for a quote. Cheers to love and congratulations to The Armstrongs!! ❤️  This is slow-cooked pork butt. Hehehe ... that makes me laugh. Wish you could smell it. Yasss, it's going down at Cupcakes Bakery & Deli this week! I guess summer has everyone wanting BBQ so we're giving you what you want. There's also beef brisket cooking right now, too. 😀 We're serving up pulled pork sandwiches, rice and beans, potato salad, cole slaw, mac & cheese, collard greens, black-eyed peas ... all that. The brisket is one of the choices on the soul food platter. Check out our Uber Eats menu for details. And don't forget the cupcakes. We've got Boston Cream, Red Velvet, Just Plain Vanilla, Double Chocolate - which can be turned into Triple Chocolate by adding chocolate sprinkles and syrup - and Dr. Pepper (one of my personal faves). Does any of this sound tasty to you? Just curious.  CUSTOMER QUESTION: Do you freeze your cakes?
ANSWER: No, we do not freeze our cakes or cupcakes. First of all, we make cakes only by special order, and therefore, have no need of freezing them. They're made a day or two before pickup or delivery depending on size and difficulty, cooled and then placed in the fridge for ease of decorating. They're then placed in the fridge again upon completion of decoration because fresh food requires it. Second, being that are cakes are only made on special order, we don't have a standard/regular cake that we make and need to stockpile. This is also why cake orders must be prepaid and phoned in at least seven (7) days in advance. Third, freezing cakes/cupcakes diminishes moisture and flavor, and there's just no good reason for doing that. Our cupcakes are made fresh and have a 3-day shelf life decorated and about twice that if kept refrigerated not decorated. When you come into the shop and see cupcakes marked reduced, they're at the end of their shelf life - still great, but not today's. Frozen cupcakes and cakes, have most likely been trucked in from the company's regional facility within three days of baking, and then placed in the local market's freezer until scheduled to be thawed, decorated and placed out for sale. They're fine, diminished in moisture and flavor (or filled with preservatives), but not what you want for a once-in-a-lifetime occasion hoped to be remembered forever. And keep in mind ... these fresh, special order cakes and cupcakes cost more than frozen products because they're made just for you, one of kind and of a different quality. If you have a question you'd like answered on the blog, please submit it with 'QUESTION' in the subject line and email to busybaker@msn.com. You may also request estimates and place orders there as well. Sweet eating! This week was all hands on deck (that means my - Zari's - hands, too) again to fill several special orders.

 Aren't these beautiful?! It's not quite Spring, but these lovely Lavender Lemonade Cupcakes will make you think otherwise. Right now - in January! - we have these delightful beauties for your taste sensation. A patron ordered these specialty cupcakes for a wedding taster, loved them, ordered them for the wedding and some to take home in the meantime. Well ... you know about baker's dozens and whatnot so we have some extra hanging around for you to love, too. As a specialty cupcake, we don't always have Lavender Lemonade (better come in and get these last ones soon), but we'd love to have them for you in two days for any prepaid order.

 Generally the day before New Year’s Eve in the kitchen pots are clanging and pans are banging in preparation of The Good Luck Feast, and dishes that represent Southern tradition are on my New Year’s Day menu. Many of the recipes have been passed down from generation to generation. Over the years variations have been tried and the rivalry between family members to show off their own culinary expertise has brought some very interesting results. The soul food that shared centers around a love of food and family, memories of those gone before us and a rich cultural heritage. There are some staples of the New Year’s feast that a down-home cook must always include to guarantee a year of prosperity and much-deserved accolades.
Whether you believe in “peas for pennies, greens for dollars or bread for gold,” as good luck in the new year or not, these dishes are sure to afford you some mighty good eating. Wishing You and Yours A Blessed (prosperous) 2018! Milli Black-Eyed Peas 12oz package dry black-eyed peas 2-3 meaty ham hocks ½ c red bell pepper diced ½ c green bell pepper diced ¾ c onion diced 1 stalk celery chopped 2 cloves garlic crushed 2 tsps. Turmeric ½ tsp cayenne pepper Salt & pepper to taste Cover beans in water and soak overnight. Drain and sort. In a dutch oven saute vegetables with spices, add ham hocks, cover with water. Cook meat ½ hour add beans cook until meat is tender. Check beans occasionally you may need to add more hot water. Approximately 2 ½ to 3 hours. May be cooked in a crockpot overnight. You may use frozen beans. Cook meat thoroughly before adding beans. Tip: when cooking beans & greens add ½ to 1 tsp baking soda to the boiling pot. It'll foam for a few minutes releasing gases that can cause discomfort to sensitive digestive systems. 😊   Christmas cookies are a must during this season and we bake dozens of them at Cupcakes Bakery & Deli. These delicious and festive sugar cookies are easy to make, but the decorating is more than a one-woman job.
We make decorated sugar cookies year round with designs or company logos. Place your orders seven (7) days in advance with prepayment to assure your order is filled when you need it. Email order inquiries to Milli at BusyBaker@msn.com and she'll get back to you within 24 hours. FYI: we can do most sugar cookie designs/logos on cupcakes. Gorgeous and melt-in-your-mouth tasty, you'll want to take credit for baking these sugar cookies yourself. And we won't tell. 😉 Sugar Cookies |
