YOU GUYS!! WE PASSED OUR FINAL INSPECTIONS!!! 🙌🏼

I could cry, I'm so physically and mentally relieved! The past week has been a mental whirlwind (do we look tired? 😅) with finishing everything at the shop, deep cleaning, finishing up orders at home, and all leading up to today.

We can finally sleep well tonight and can start baking tomorrow (one day later than planned but inspection approvals just took longer). I am SO excited to bake in that beautiful kitchen with my hubby!! I tested out the ovens today and they are so different than my home one (of course 😆) and can't wait to see how fast everything goes!

We are pouring every single ounce of energy and love into all of our baked goods these next three days for you guys. And we are baking A LOT. Because we know you guys are showing up!! The place is so beautiful and more than I could've ever dreamed. It is a work of art by Brett and his dad and I cannot wait for you all to be a part of it.

Here is our Opening Day menu!!! 😋🧁🧁🧁I'm so excited to be able to shift into bake mode and just enjoy the rest of the week. It's all just surreal. And the weather for Saturday is looking absolutely gorgeous, we have been praying for weeks for that! We CANNOT WAIT to see you guys!!! 😍

Update: Brett was in fact very happy that he didn't need to be in the video. 😆

Q&A!!
Oh my goodness how did this end up being 12 minutes long 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ I am so detailed lol.
Finally getting around to answering your questions!!
With the shop/hours questions thanks for your understanding and remembering we are only two people and we also have three kids along this journey with us! Thanks for listening! 🥰

Yesterday a salesman stopped into the cake shop while the guys were flooring. He was kind, said the distributor he represented and let him know that they have lots of mixes and fillings to choose from for our business to check out. So Brett told him, "we actually make everything from-scratch so we wouldn't need any of that but thanks." And I thought how cool that we can say that!

We are different from most cake providers. I've worked in several food establishments including a grocery store bakery and bakery. I also know someone who used to work in one of MN largest known cupcake shops.. and to my surprise cake mix. I've been to the baker's convention and pre-made cake/donut mixes and fillings are the norm!

That's just never been something I could get on board with for my own business. It's not just about the looks of a dessert, but also the taste and quality of ingredients. We choose to take the longer way around by baking from-scratch, because we believe in not only the importance of knowing the food we put into our bodies but also the result is SO much better!

Pre-made mixes are full of artificial ingredients and chemicals. Raspberry filling with red dye and high fructose corn syrup when all you really need is some cane sugar and raspberries. Or bleached flour with harmful stabilizers for longer shelf life...
I understand that some people don't mind that and also sometimes that's what's best for someone's budget. Totally get that, just be aware of what ingredients are in your desserts. ❤️

Because we are different our desserts cost more than your local bakery or grocery store so we understand that we are not for everyone and that is okay!

I am on a mission to normalize baking with REAL ingredients. From-scratch baked goods made with fresh, local, real ingredients. So if that's what you're looking for you are at the right place!

Happy 9th birthday to my girls! 🥰🥰

We actually had a different plan in mind for the cake design and then I decorated a cake a few days ago with a similar wave and they LOVED it. So we changed it up and this cake is an expression of the quirky, uniqueness of my brain and my girls and we love how it turned out! 😍

My twinnies have a birthday next weekend and it's always one of my favorite days of the year. ☺️❤️ Is it any surprise that I am a HUGE fan of birthdays??
I love planning their celebrations and one of my traditions with our kids is to sit down and plan their birthday cakes each year. They talk about it for MONTHS because they get so excited!
Here are a bunch of their cakes from the past five or so years (and year #1 🥹). The squishmallow cakes will forever be one of my most time-consuming and favorite cakes I've ever done!

I don't do much for themed cakes anymore unless it's my own kiddos and they know how lucky they are. 😆

❗And just an ordering update, I am no longer taking orders for June. It's such a bummer to say it and I've had to turn away some pretty great clients, breaks my heart 😭 but we are hoping to open the store front in about a month 🤯(or slightly less) if all goes well! 🙏🏼 And I just can't take on anymore orders before then. Thank you for understanding!!!
Cannot wait to announce our grand opening date soon!! 🥳

I'm off to a busy birthday week in our house so stay tuned for their cake request for this year. 🥰
