Why I Started A Blog

After 7 months of recipe experimentation, and building a loyal client base, I have decided to start a blog so everyone can check-in to see what FLOUR is up to. Tomorrow I will be featured in the Food Section of the News-Press as one of the local cupcake entrepreneurs in Southwest Florida. I had great chat with Drew Sterwald (of the Fort Myers News-Press) about what it is that people are loving so much about the cupcake trend sweeping our nation. I see cupcakes as accessories that can be custom designed to fit whatever style you choose. But it's not only important that these sweet mini-cakes match your "tablescape" and personal style.... they MUST taste fabulous as well. That's where I come in. Of coarse quality ingredients are essential in producing a high quality product, but when dealing with cupcakes, it's also imporant that they look great too.... And most importantly that my clients are happy.

This month I am featuring 2 Flavors of the Month:
Derby Pie- Chocolate cake filled with everything found in the traditional Derby Pie... pecans, chocolate, and bourbon, then topped with a bourbon buttercream frosting....delicious!
Strawberry Cheesecake- Light and fluffy vanilla cake with a strawberry cream cheese filling, then topped with my champagne buttercream frosting.

Coming soon..... Cupcake Club..... Stay tuned for more information
