Girls Day Out

My niece asked me to make her some cake pops for her and her friends. They decided to spend a day together: picnic, quality friendship time and a sleepover! How nice to be sixteen! So to make it a little fun we made her these cute packages to bring on her picnic.

Every Picture Tells a Story

Hmmm....what does this picture tell you?
1) It is Jesse's birthday.
2) He is 4 years old.
3) His favourite colours are blue and red.
4) He is kind little fellow who wanted to give gifts to his classmates.

Jesse is the son of a friend of mine and I can attest that all of the above are true.  (He is also very cool and a fearless swimmer.)  Happy birthday Jesse!

Fall is in the air

We came up with two flavours for the fall season; pumpkin spice and "nutty" pumpkin spice. The "nutty" one is sprinkle with candied pecan for all you nutty people! Made with pumpkin and our own blend of spice, this cake pop is a perfect fit for the months to come. This flavor is only available for October and November. So indulge quickly.

Happy Birthday!

We recently delivered to a client who was looking for a sweet way to say 'Happy Birthday' to her daughter.  A box of cake pops with these friendly tags will certainly help do the trick!  The coordinating pink bow makes them extra special and continues the pretty theme.

Bows

This post is just a quick one to show what a difference a small touch can make.  Our client was looking for a simple way to dress up an order of cake pops that she was bringing as a thank you for a weekend at a friend's cottage.  It took just a little bright, summery and casual ribbon to make these cake pops look extra special.  A lovely thank you indeed.

Marathon Pride

My sister-in-law (me being Stephanie) turned 42 this year.  She has always led a very active life and has always wanted to run a marathon. Well this year was the year to make it happen: 42 km at 42!!!

For the past few months, she trained every day: getting up at 5.30am, rain or shine, cold or stinking hot... She was totally dedicated to the challenge. She also motivated friends and family to join in and participate in the run. Some did the 5km, others the 10km but no one brave/crazy enough to join her!

The race was this past weekend and her family and friends all went to cheer her on. It was truly emotional and very uplifting to see her finish with so much pride. To add to this challenge, she raised money for Parkinson's disease in honor of my mother-in-law. Zia - You are amazing and you have brought us much more that you can ever imagine; memorable moments of joy and little tears (good ones) that will be forever part of our family.

Little Miss Sunshine

Lemon cake pops are back and they are better than ever. Erika was determined to have a buttery-lemony cake pop to satisfy all the lemon lovers out there.  (That includes you, Mark.) I tasted it today and had to blog it now because it it sooooo lemony good!

Birthday Platter

A client asked us to create a platter for her daughter's 40th birthday celebration. She wanted a variety of flavors to offer her guests and also wanted to mention her daughter's name in the presentation. Stephanie came up with these cute little letter tags.  I absolutely love them.  Think of the messages you could create to mark an event!

And we're back.

We are so sorry to have left all of you without any posts this summer but it has been CRAZY! Good crazy - but crazy nonetheless. Lots of orders (Thank you!), kids running around (Play outside!) and vacations (Gin and tonic, please!) made the summer fly by. We are now working on some new flavors and planning for Halloween.  Yes, you read correctly, Halloween already. We will be posting ideas and packaging for you to look at very soon. We hope your summer was a great one!

Wedding Bells

This summer, we had the opportunity to not only provide cake pops as 'thank you favours' for a beautiful wedding but to also meet a truly lovely couple.  Forget all the stories you hear about difficult brides and disinterested grooms.  Deborah and Jon were gracious, decisive and charming - perfect clients in every way.  We were honored that they included our treats as part of their big day and wish them joy and happiness for years to come.

Giving Back: Breast Cancer Event

We want to thank all of our friends and family who participated in Walk for the Cure events across the country this summer.  We donated some cake pops to the Montreal-based event to help support such an important cause.
