Everyone is in the Cupcake Business!

So, SugarPlums CupCakery participated in Cincinnati's First Annual Chocolate Festival this past weekend! To our surprise...everyone, including most of the candy vendors, are in the cupcake business!! Sure...if you are a certified pastry chef, or even a great mom, you know how to make a cupcake. But...to be a "professional" at baking cupcakes, there are many secrets! Top of the list is knowing which ingredients compliment each other, which ingredients are quality ingredients, and where to get those quality ingredients to insure freshness and flavors abound!!!

We want to know what YOU think! Post a response and let's see what happens!!

Thanks!

Settling in for the Holidays!

Now that the "Ghosts and Goblins" have gone back to sleep for a year...it is time we "Pass the Sugar" again and get settled in for a wonderful holiday season. When times are more "lean"...we find comfort in our family and friends...being creative...and sharing good food!

Thanksgiving is just a short 3 weeks away...let us each list something for which we are Thankful!

I will start....I am thankful for the blessing of a loving God, a healthy family and an understanding community of business associates (both online and locally).

What are you thankful for today? Well....every day...let's "Pass the Sugar"!
