How fun are these?!

Peppermint patties with a fun festive twist... red, green, and white stripes inside every one!  These unique peppermint patties are all handmade with real peppermint oil.  They are each individually dipped in chocolate, with more chocolate drizzled over top for decoration.

Each box contains 12 striped peppermint patties and is finished off with a Christmas bow.  Email me to place your order in time for Christmas!

Christmas Bouquets!

Christmas cakepop bouquet

I have finally gotten around to posting my cookie and cake-pop bouquets!  They're a great option if you're looking for a last minute, unique Christmas gift.  Or if you are attending any holiday get togethers this season, bring one along to give as a gift for the hostess.  With bouquets starting at $12, I can arrange a bouquet of any size to meet your budget.  Both sugar cookies and gingerbread cookies are available for the season!  Make sure to check out my "Treat Bouquets" for more info.

If you have visited Baby Cakes before, you may notice that I have revamped some of the pages here.  The "cookies" and "cake-pop" pages have had a face-lift and I made the addition of the "pricing" page.

Also, I was very busy all last week making Christmas cookies and cake-pops, so I've added lots of new photos.  They can be found on the "cookies" and "cake-pop" pages.  Enjoy!

Christmas Bazaar This Saturday!

Christmas cakepops

I will be a vendor at this years Christmas Bazaar & Fundraiser which will be held Saturday December 4th from 8am-11am at the South London Community Center (1119 Jalna Blvd.).  This event is to help raise money for the London Humane Society and the London Children's Hospital.  There will be many other vendors there as well as free refreshments, face painting and balloon twisting for the kids.  There will be vendor coupon books available at the door as well as many prizes to be raffled off.  Please come out and bring your friends and family to help raise money for 2 great causes!!

I will be very busy over the next few days baking cookies and cakepops for the bazaar. I will be offering many Christmas gift ideas such as cookie and cakepop bouquets, gift boxes filled with cookies/cakepops, cookie sets, homemade peppermint patties, and individual cookies/cakepops.  I will be posting photos of these items which will also be available to order here online.

Cupcakes!

cupcakes!

 

The past week I've been busy putting more ideas together for my Christmas cookies, cakepops, and cookie bouquets.  Expect to see those posted very shortly! 

In the meantime, I've added more photos to my photo gallery!  The other week I was very busy making lots of custom cookies.  I had a unique request for dirtbike shaped cookies.  Those were a challenge!  Photos can be found on my Gallery page along with new photos of these custom cupcake cookies.  I made a LOT of cupcake cookies!  Five dozen to be exact!  When finished, I had arranged all 60 cookies on a 3 tier styrofoam "cake".  Lots of work but lots of fun!

For the prize table, I have donated a cookie bouquet created for the event (that's their logo on the 1st cookie).  Good luck to all the runners!

Happy Halloween

Jack Skellington Cookie

Just before Halloween, I found the cutest idea for Jack Skellington cookies and I just had to try them!  They turned out very cute (in a ghoulish kind of way).  I made them for a Halloween party I was attending and every single one was gone by the end of the night.  These sugar cookies are very addictive!

Jack-o-lantern cake pops

I was also busy making jack-o-lantern cake pops made specially for a birthday boy...  Happy birthday Tommy!

Hope you all had a spook-tacular Halloween filled with lots of sugar and sweets!

Cookie Bouquets Coming Soon!

First off, I'd just like to thank everyone for their support and for all the orders placed with Baby Cakes!  I was completely stunned by all the attention it received within the first week. 

And.... coming soon to Baby Cakes....cookie bouquets!! They will be just in time to place your orders for the holiday season!  I will of course have Christmas themed bouquets and the option to make many of my other cookies/cake-pops into bouquets as well.  Stay tuned...

Welcome to Baby Cakes!

I am happy to say that I finally have this blog site up and running!!

I decided to start up this blog in response to the reactions I got every time I made "cupcake-pops".... miniature cupcakes on a stick made from cake and frosting then dunked in coloured chocolate.  Everyone seems to go nuts over these little guys, so I've decided to post photos with pricing so you can try them for yourself!

Thank you for visiting and be sure to check back from time-to-time as I will always be adding new items; especially around the holidays!
