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!

About Magpies

Magpies is a baking business who specializes in sweet and savory pies and tarts using local and seasonal produce. The idea is that we bake differently each time using the best produce. We are lucky enough to live/work in the Suisun Valley (near Napa) where we have access to a variety of fruit and vegetables for most of the year.
This year MagPies participated in the Vacaville, Fairfied and Benicia Farmers Markets. We also attend a number of events throughout the Valley, including Farm Days at Wooden Valley Winery.
I am committed to using the best quality products I have access to when I bake. I have a sense of detail and care that I am selling you only the best!
Yes, our menu is ever changing (nothing stays the same). Most of our customers love that. Some would like to see the same things. The good thing is we can do pretty much whatever you would like!
