I love how this cake turned out! The middle was my favorite part!

You’ve got a friend who’s three!

It’s hard to believe, but Daniel turned three! I was glad to escape from another Cars party–this year we celebrated Toy Story style!

Any Toy Story 3 fan would love this Garbage Cake…from the scene in the movie when all the toys were trying to escape the dump!

I am still not taking orders, but am holding out hope of re-opening in the fall when Daniel starts pre-school!

Sugar and spice and everything nice…

Our little girl is here! Delilah Belle arrived on June 6th, weighing 8lbs. 12oz. She was 21 inches long. We adore our newest addition, but are still adjusting to life with two. Because I am as committed to the quality of my desserts as I am the quality of time spent with my family, I am taking on a small load of projects on a first-come, first-booked basis, and will most likely not be booking any custom carved cakes, or large projects yet.

Got Peeps?

It is that time of the year PEEPle! You know who you are. If your favorite photo on my website is the one below, wait no longer–I am taking pre-orders for my spectacular Peeps cakes! Because of the time it takes to make these cakes, the fact that I am very pregnant, and that most orders will all be for Easter Sunday, I can only take 8 orders, and I need one week of notice. The cakes are $65, and come garnished with real peeps and jelly beans in Easter grass. If you are interested, please email me, the spots will fill up quickly!

ONE sold, seven left!!!

For the person who has everything. For the person who loves cupcakes. for the person who loves a little surprise every month. Introducing…

The Sugar Bean’s Cupcake-of-the-Month Club!

An idea born from a woman who could never quite find the right gift for her husband, but knew he loved my cupcakes! As a member of C.O.T.M.C, you will receive one dozen cupcakes around the third week of every month! The cost is $20/month ($240 for the year). I will email you every month on the 15th to set up the best delivery date for you, then deliver a sweet surprise flavor (requests welcome) to you!

Price is based upon close-range deliveries, and may be adjusted depending on the delivery location.

Peace, love & frosting!

I was thrilled when a good client contacted me about a groovy birthday cake for her daughter’s 11th birthday. She gave me a link to the party supply store, and told me to go for it! The cake turned out great. Where you might not be able to see the relief of the peace sign in the top of the cake, you CAN see that the birthday girl was very pleased with her cake! We also did matching favor bags with tye-dye frosted sugar cookies, and custom tags–it was psychedelic!

Wedding snow flurries with a 100% chance of a happy ending!

My cousin Courtney & Mark were married on February 27th in Incline. Their winter-wonderland wedding came complete with snow flurries–it was magical! Court wanted a full service desert bar featuring all my sweet treats, as well as a cheesecake bar, where you could choose between fresh toppings of lemon curd, strawberry sauce, fudge sauce, or the Groom’s favorite, Snicker’s cheesecake! It was just beautiful.

Two years…gone like Lightning!

Our baby turned 2 this month–I guess he’s not a baby anymore, but a little boy! We celebrated with, what else? CARS! My whole family is in love with the mini whoopie pies for kids. They are adorable, colorful, and MUCH easier for kiddos to wrap their hands around! I have made whoopie pies for four little birthdays this month, and all have come back with rave reviews on how tasty they are, and easy for kids to eat! It’s also easy to personalize to your theme, as you can see from Daniel’s below!

Baby on the brain!

UPDATE: It’s a girl! Baby Delilah is due June 4th!

Well, it’s official–we’ve got another bun, or should I say cupcake, in the oven! With our 20 week ultra-sound next week, I have baby on the brain, so I thought I would post these adorable baby shower cupcakes I did!

It’s the most wonderful time of the year…

…but if you’re like the rest of us, you probably feel like there’s not quite enough time in each day, and you can’t seem to get all the thing you want to done. Let the Sugar Bean take over in the cookie department for you! My Christmas cookies are festive and delicious, and can be wrapped up with a personal card and delivered to that special someone: your boss, secretary, hairdresser, special clients, your child’s doctor who is always there when you need them? These are all the people I often think, “I would love to do something nice for them this year…” Then time runs out. Your mailman? The garbage men? With me at your fingertips, the answer is: Check. Check!!!

With flavors like chewy chocolate gingerbread, festive frosted sugar cookies, classic chocolate chip, lemon blossoms, oatmeal trail mix, sinckerdoodles, lemon poppy seed hearts…your gift will not be kicked to the side of the table with the other fruit baskets that have been picked over once and cast aside! I’ve never heard a client say, you know, “there were just too many, we couldn’t eat them all!”

Going to a cookie party? Let me take the work out of it for you, I will even put my cookies on your plate if you want! The cookie box also makes the perfect hostess gift!

Prices vary, but a box of three dozen assorted cookies, wrapped with a handmade card, and delivered* is $35

*Delivery prices may vary depending on location, and the number of orders you make!

So be in good cheer! Make your list; check it twice and email, or call me 762-8202 and get your holiday gifts going!

Happy Holidays,

Michon
