New Year's Eve Flavors

Hi Everyone!

I know, I know... I've been super bad about posting our daily flavors. The last couple of days post-vacation have been a little overwhelming and I keep telling myself no one reads this little blog. No more excuses, here's what we have lined up for tomorrow, Thursday, December 31st (can you believe it's already here?):

  • Red Velvet
  • Dark Chocolate Bliss
  • Pumpkin Spice
  • PB Chocolate
  • Vanilla-Vanilla
  • Chocolate Whisper
  • Caramel Vanilla

We are seriously looking forward to being a part of a surprise tomorrow. I really do love it when our customers include us in their special moments.

Before I sign off, I want to take a moment to thank all of our customers for giving us an opportunity to do what we love. We started out baking for family and then friends and now we're getting requests from all over the country and even far away places like London, Turkey, Singapore and some other places I can't recall right this minute. It's been a year of many ups (new kitchen agreement, amazing corporate clients, new website, fun events, charitable contributions, super supplier) and a few downs (coffee shop closing, uncollected funds- what's a small biz to do, send them to collections???). All in all, it has been an extremely rewarding experience. I am thrilled about the New Year, there's so much to do and I can't wait! Have a wonderful New Year's!

It's just days before Christmas and I haven't done ANY Christmas shopping (gasp)! Here's my prepared speech "I have decided to be fiscally disciplined this year and will not handing out any presents." I'm not sure how that will work for my little nieces and nephews. If that fails, I hear CVS is open 24 hours on Christmas Day. Just kidding!

Holiday Cupcakes

We have been busy with holiday cupcake orders for our corporate clients and fun-loving, event-hosting customers. Here are a few of the cupcakes we've done. It was especially fun creating these custom toppers. Enjoy!

We'll be closing for a few days of R &R December 23-27. Our last day for deliveries before Christmas is December 22. We'll re-open refreshed and rejuvenated, ready to take your cupcake orders December 28th!

Bootstrap, yes... Bootleg, no

I'll explain the crazy title in a minute. Someone told our kindly driver that we were bootleg for not having a storefront and I thought this might be a good time to explain our business model. You see, we don't operate a storefront for a variety of reasons with the main reason being the cost of operating a brick and mortar. Keeping our operating costs low gives us room to play with the same high-end ingredients that designer cupcake stores use (Valrhona chocolate, Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla, real chocolate sprinkles and chocolate flakes from France, European stlye butter, pure extracts and spices, organic produce, etc).

Still, I understand that our delivery-only model is not ideal for everyone so I'll continue to look for other ways to get our cupcakes out there. I must say that we have experimented with markets, neighborhood coffee shops and those haven't worked as well as we would have liked. Speaking of which, I went to make a delivery to Tilt, where we had our cupcakes and was greeted with a sign saying that they had closed :(

Shoe Sale at Saks!







Okay, so this is totally not what this blog is about but I thought I'd be a good citizen and let any shoe lovers out there know that there is a rocking shoe sale going on at Saks Fifth Avenue today. I stopped by to check on some cupcakes we'd delivered earlier today. I wanted to make sure that they were happy with the delivery/service/cupcakes.
After taking care of that official business, I went about my business having noticed some big ol' red signs by the shoe racks. And what did they have? Totally awesome shoes! Within minutes, I started to play a justify game that I play in my head that involves the many reasons I have to have anything. Luckily enough, I unjustified myself out of the shoes in time to tell you about the sale.
And back to the reason for this blog. Here's what we baked for our customers today:
  • Vanilla-Vanilla
  • Caramel Vanilla
  • Banana Gregg
  • Dark Chocolate Bliss
  • Pumpkin Spice
  • Chocolate Whisper

Have a great weekend!

Wednesday's Flavors

Hi Everyone!

Here's our Baker's Choice for Wednesday, December 2nd:

  • Dark Chocolate Bliss
  • Caramel Vanilla
  • Banana Gregg
  • Pumpkin Spice
  • Vanilla-Vanilla
  • Honey Vanilla
  • Chocolate Whisper

I took a break earlier this afternoon and strolled through a holiday market here in town. I sooooo love markets but find it a little bit of a let down that they haven't quite caught on in Atlanta. The markets here are always so disappointingly empty (even on weekends). Do y'all not like markets? Seriously, those are the best finds anywhere. I always get the most unique pieces of jewelry and the coolest tchotchkes at neighborhood markets. Maybe it's just me, but I kinda think it's cool to meet the person who designed my earrings...

Here are some photos of our orders today. Enjoy!

Tuesday's Flavors

Hi Everyone!


Today's flavors are:

  • Honey Vanilla
  • Dark Chocolate Bliss
  • Pumpkin Spice
  • Vanilla-Vanilla
  • Caramel Vanilla
  • Chocolate Dream

Can you believe that December's already here? This is the last month in the year 2009 so we've got to make it count! My sister regularly sends me inspirational text messages and today's message got me thinking about the goals I had written down at the beginning of the year. I am thankful that I've been able to sign off on a few of the items on that list. However, there's still so much left to do. I'm taking advantage of this new month and making the remaining of those goals a reality. Let's do this!

Friday's Flavors

Happy Friday!

I was standing in line for coffee yesterday and the guys behind me kept talking about their Halloween costumes. Apparently, Michael Jackson's thriller outfit (the one with the red jacket) is going to be a huge hit this year. Last year, Sarah Palin was a huge hit at the Little Five Points festival. Sounds like there'll be some fun parties around town this weekend. While I won't be partaking in much of the festivities, I will be working behind the scenes to make it a little sweeter for some.

Here's a look at our Baker's Choice for today:

  • Caramel Vanilla

  • Dark Chocolate Bliss

  • Pumpkin Spice

  • Vanilla-Vanilla

  • PB Chocolate

  • Chocolate/Vanilla

  • Red Velvet

Speaking of Baker's Choice, we actually baked more than we needed so let us know if you have a last minute request. Enjoy and have a great day!

Thursday's Flavors

Hi Everyone!

Happy Thursday! It's been unseasonally warm here in Atlanta and while I'm okay with it, most frostings don't fare too well if left in direct sunlight for too long. So, if you have cupcakes in the car and are making a "quick stop", be sure to make it really quick as that heat could melt the frosting.

We've been busy with last minute cupcake orders. No complaints there. Here's what we baked today:

  • Chocolate Whisper
  • Dark Chocolate Bliss
  • Caramel Vanilla
  • Honey Vanilla
  • Pumpkin Spice
  • Red Velvet
  • Coco-Nut
  • Chocolate/Vanilla
  • Chocolate Dream

Oh by the way, we've been getting great feedback from our customers and it's been soooooooooo encouraging. One was from a customer in New York who ordered cupcakes for her best friend (personalized with her bestie's initials). She called us back to let us know that her friend called her in tears when she received the surprise. Apparently, she loved the presentation of the cupcakes as well as the sweet note her friend included with her gift. The second was from a customer who emailed to say even though she ordered four dozen minis for her loved one to share at the office, he still wouldn't give any away. The last one was from an office Halloween party. Apparently, our cupcakes were the hit of the party. Great feedback overall. Please keep them coming :-)

Finally, we are selecting the winner of our latest cupcake giveaway at 6pm today. For a chance to win, visit our facebook fan page and respond to the post.

This is turning out to be a loooooooong post. Blame it on the caffeine. Ciao!

Its a collection of short stories and that's about all I can handle these days. Short stories. Enjoy your weekend!

Cupcakes for a Cause week is here!

Hey y'all!
Two posts in one day - Woo HOO!

Okay, so I'm thrilled that Cupcakes for a Cause week is finally here. I've posted about it previously here. Lenox Cupcakes is one of over 200 bakeries nationwide participating in a campaign to raise funds for CancerCare for Kids. Throughout this week (from September 21-27), proceeds from the sale of every cupcake will be donated to this cause. Please join us in making this campaign a success.

I am particularly thankful for the work that CancerCare does in providing free services to children and families affected by cancer. It takes a joint effort to keep that going and I hope you'll be a part of it. Not only do you get delicioso cupcakes, but you'll be giving to a worthy organization as well. Did I mention that we are topping the cupcakes with the cute-as-a-button sugar candies with the smiley face logo for CancerCare for Kids? In addition, the first 100 customers will receive a $20 gift card to 1800flowers.com.

For more information about Cupcakes for a Cause, visit http://www.cupcakesforacause.org/.

Here are a couple of pics from our deliveries today. Warning: Very grainy as they were taken with cell phone camera.

  • Banana Gregg
  • Strawberry Swirl

A few words about Banana Gregg - It is named after my son :-) When he was an itsy bitsy baby, his favorite thing to eat was a banana so of course when I had to come up with a name for my banana cupcake; it was only natural that I name it after him. K. Little known fact right there.
Just as an added bonus, we're topping this yummolish organic banana cupcake with a sweet cream cheese frosting and a drizzle of our buttery caramel. Right in the middle of all this goodness, we've landed a thin, crispy, salty, banana chip on top of the mound of frosting. You've got to taste it to believe it. My camera's out (a little someone threw it on the floor the other day) but I'd love to show you this creation sometime.

Event Details from the Bloomingdales website:

Not that anyone asked, but here's what I would totally get this fall - one's kinda sensible, the other's kinda reckless. No prizes for guessing which is which.

Wednesday's Flavors


Here's a rundown of what we are baking today:

  • Chocolate Mint
  • Vanilla-Vanilla
  • Red Velvet
  • Chocolate Dream
  • Sunny Lemon
  • Chocolate Whisper
  • Honey Vanilla

We get the most lavish mint extract from a place called Return to Eden on the corner of LaVista and Cheshire Bridge. It is this organic, alcohol-free mint flavor that has the purest scent ever. Speaking of Return to Eden, (I could write an entire post about that store) I am in awe of their baking aisle. If you're ever looking for hard to find organic ingredients, that's the place. As I was saying, the mint extract is just pure joy and I can't say too much about it. I think that's what makes our Chocolate Mint work. I'm just sayin'...

About Last Night

I'm up early because my internal alarm clock has a GREAT sense of humor. I was thinking about how last night's event went and thought I would blog about it. Overall, it was a great turnout, great crowd to support an excellent cause. You should definitely check out the work the Rally Foundation does, I learnt new facts about childhood cancer and they mentioned ways to help fund their work.

The show started off with the presenters in Betsey Johnson dresses, very nice and very wearable. I think the keyword there is wearable. You see some shows and you think, "that's nice but I wouldn't wear that". The clothes shown were beyond gorgeous and there are some simple yet chic pieces that I'd like to get. The only confusing thing was at some point, I wasn't sure what was Rene Rene and what was Betsey. The headpieces I think were Betsey but the models (Atlanta Falcons Cheerleaders) were wearing Rene dresses that looked like Betsey type colors. I wish you were there, you'd know what I was talking about.

Oh and the cupcakes - I totally forgot my camera at home which is why all you are getting is TEXT! I could have kicked myself for doing that. I'm not a great photog but I would have loved to share what we did in terms of the cupcakes. I noticed a man with professional cameras and asked if he would take some pictures and he was kind enough to. He was there to take pictures of the cheerleaders but happily obliged my request. I'll update this post as soon as I get them. And another thing? I asked someone else to take a picture of my sisters and me and email it to me. Totally random right, to be asking someone you don't know to take your picture? I hadn't been out with them in forever and thought why not.

As I mentioned, I'll update this post with the pictures when I get them. Can I just say that now I get what my friend from Chicago means when she says Atlantans are beautiful. Seriously, she always says that when she's here. And I just never got that. However, yesterday, people just looked picture perfect. Maybe it's just me. I do live in a cave or an oven, whichever you prefer.

UPDATE: Got the photographs last week but have been rather lazy about putting them up. I really am thankful to TJ for taking these photos! As you can see, we stayed true to the Falcons colors and paid hommage to Bestey Johnson with our red frosting fused with black.
