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. Blog will resume the weekend of August 21rst/22nd.  Of course, if you need anything in the mean time just let me know.

Please note:  We have had lots of requests to add back in some gluten free items.  I am happy to do this but going to start slow.  If we get a following then we will expand that part of the menu.

Seeing Red..Washington Nationals Baseball

The end of baseball season was a month ago but I am just getting around to posting these pictures.  These beautiful cupcakes are the creation of my youngest son.  When he asked me to make cupcakes for the end of season party, he was very clear what he wanted.  Cupcakes with lots of frosting and Oreo cookies.  Well, how can I refuse a request like that!  These towering cupcakes were enjoyed by the Washington National Team 7-8 year olds.  They had a exciting season!
