Here’s proof that we have the best summer camp ever!

Our cake decorating summer camp sells out every year, because our students learn the fine art of cake baking and decorating.

At the end of each week, they compete for the best cake ever.

And we have receipts!

Sometimes a little fire helps!

This month we are fired up about our cupcake of the month: S’Mores!

It’s a chocolate cupcake filled with chocolate ganache, topped with vanilla cream cheese frosting, drizzled with our chocolate caramel sauce, sprinkled with a touch of cookie crumbs and crowned with roasted marshmallows.

That’s a mouth full!

Come let us sweeten your day. These cupcakes will be featured in store all month.
