Where have we been???

Hi All:  Just to update our wonderful customers....for the past year, my family has had some challenges in our personal life that have made it necessary to put the cupcake business on hold.  

Check back here from time to time for updates on when we'll be baking up a storm again.

Thank you so much for your continued interest and support of Babycakes Bake Shop!!

I can feel Spring on its way!!

I've been so excited for Spring and Easter and St. Patricks day. So I've started with some flower cupcakes. These were fun to make. They're vanilla with vanilla buttercream. The frosting is a little pink and a little white....with pink sugar for sprinkles!! Enjoy!!

These are some cupcakes from the Farmer's Market in February. The pink and white mix was an order from one of our customers. Thank you for your return business! She placed the order ahead of time and picked up the cupcakes at the farmer's market. The top picture is Red Velvet with Cream Cheese frosting. These have become a favorite of our regular customers. I first came across Red Velvet cake when I lived in Memphis, TN about 12 years ago. I worked with a lady named Miss Eleanor (everyone is Miss something in the South, I love it!) Anyway, Miss Eleanor gave me a couple of different great recipes. The Red Velvet is one of them...and it's a hit! The middle picture is just a little sample of the mini's we sell.

Red Velvet

These are so moist and decadent! The cream cheese frosting is the best on this heavenly cupcake. Red Velvet is a favorite in the South. It's a sweet cake with a hint of cocoa. This yummy cupcake with a glass of cold milk......what a lovely little indulgence.

Sweets for your sweet!

Valentine's Day is such a fun day to give something yummy to your special someone. We did red polka dots for this holiday. These were chocolate with vanilla buttercream and vanilla with vanilla buttercream. The chocolate/vanilla buttercream combo is my favorite! This particular box was a special order.

Peppermint Cupcakes

Here are some Christmas delights! Peppermint was a huge favorite in December. So popular that we kept it into January and the first week or two of February.
