Almond Italian Meringue Buttercream

Introducing a new flavor: Almond Meringue Buttercream!

This sumptuous but airy flavor comes with toasted sliced almonds, which adds a fun textural difference.

Also available: Chocolate Almond Italian Meringue Buttercream (my new favorite!).

Introducing the Cupcake Trio!

Good news for people who want cupcakes, but can't possibly get through a dozen - you can order the Cupcake Trio!

Choose one cake flavor and up to three frosting flavors, and your cupcake trio is on its way!

It's the perfect amount of cake for a few people to share, and it's a great way to taste a few different frosting flavors!

$5 for 3 cupcakes (includes packaging)

For an extra-special treat, ask for gift-wrapping for an additional $2 (Tiffany blue shown, but other colors available).
It's the perfect birthday gift!

Vanilla Bean Cupcakes with Italian Meringue Buttercream

It's very rare that I step back from my work and think, "That looks good enough to eat." (I'm my worst critic, though.)

But after finishing these, I did step back and think, "That looks good enough to EAT."

A beautiful yellow butter cake is spiked with real vanilla bean then perfectly portioned into 24 delicious cupcakes. The frosting can be flavored just about any way you like; these beauties have Chocolate Italian Meringue Buttercream and Raspberry Italian Meringue Buttercream. The cherry on top in this case is a perfectly plump fresh raspberry or homemade dark chocolate shards.

As always, every cupcake is scratch made using real butter, cane sugar, and the finest of ingredients, including fresh berries and Ghirardelli chocolate.

These incredible beauties are $15 for a dozen: one dozen cupcakes come in a smaller white box and two dozen come in a large white box with a "window" on top (pictured above).

Pretty Packaging

All cakes (including cupcakes and cheesecakes) come with a white box. Mini cheesecakes also come with a white box but they are smaller.

If you want to dress it up for yourself or for a gift to someone else, I can wrap it with ribbon and a bow (in any color).

$2

Special Order: Easter Cupcakes

This was a lot of fun, and a bit of a challenge.

How do you make Chocolate Dream cupcakes look "Easter-y"?

Answer: put them in a cute Easter basket and add yellow and pink sanding sugar to dress them up.

It doesn't hurt when they taste heavenly.

This presentation can be adapted to different holidays and celebrations.

$15 for 1 dozen cupcakes + packaging

Crème Brûlée Mini Cheesecakes

I really don't think these need any words.

$5 for 1 dozen

Please note: Since making this batch of crème brûlée cheesecakes, I've toyed with the type of sugar I use for caramelizing. I have now perfected it, and the topping is perfectly gorgeously caramelized brown now. :)

Extreme Chocolate Miniature Cheesecakes

These are beautiful. They really are gorgeous. These pretty miniature cheesecakes are mixed with melted dark chocolate for maximum flavor and a smooth filling.

These beauties are topped with your choice of chocolate shards or a rich dark chocolate ganache.

My favorite is the pretty presentation: a dozen cheesecakes in a pretty little white box.
