Cupcakes and More!

It has been a long time since I have been able to get to the blog.  Things have continued to be insanely busy!  I hope to get back to the blog on a more regular basis. 
So let's catch up a little!  First, my friend Jenn at Posh Couture Cupcakes and Cakes has opened her new shop 401 Monte Vista Avenue, Vacaville.  Her new storefront new storefront is a cupcake boutique, champagne & tea lounge, and espresso bar.  Her alcohol license is still pending but in the meantime go in and see her super cute store, enjoy some Illy Coffee or Tea Forte Tea and a cupcake or two.  I believe she has chocolate dipped strawberries also. My suggestion is to go early as I have a feeling she will sell out fast! Also, if your in the market for a cake, she designs sculptured cakes. cake pops, cake bites and cake truffles.  Check out her website at http://www.poshcouturecakes.com/.  You can also like her on facebook at www.facebook.com/poshcouturecakes!

Speaking of Facebook ....MagPies finally caught up with the times and you can now follow us on facebook.

Upcomiing Events

Baby showers, birthdays, summer parties and lots more mini desserts!  I love making small, bite size desserts and they are quickly gaining in popularity for events.  We will be doing a wedding next Saturday with a dessert table.  Several mini desserts, candy, coquembouche towers and a cake! I am so excited to participate in this as it will be a wedding using local caters and a local florist.  You know how I love local.  I hope to get some good photographs of the day! 

As Magpies has various events in the next couple of weeks there will be no blog for two weeks or Farmer's Market next week.  We will return to the Market on Saturday, August 13th.  We will be at Wooden Valley for Harvest on August 14th.  I will have lots of ice cream at Wooden Valley.
