How it all began...
We're a mother and daughter team, and like many crafters, our hobbies became obsessions and quite frankly, it got away from us a bit!
As with any hobby, we started out making things for ourselves, then gifts for family and friends, and then people starting asking to place orders. They told us that the found similar products online, but they were different or not exactly what they wanted. Finally, we did some digging and realized that we were creating some pretty neat stuff. We already had the Cupcakes/Pubcakes site and business (keep reading below), so we figured "why not?"!
​
We love working together and making new things, so this is more than just a business. We want to make things that people will really love. This gives us the opportunity to do just that, and helps fund our obsessions!
The Cupcakes (& Pubcakes)
Once upon a time, I wanted a cupcake. I mean I really, really wanted a cupcake, so I set out to satisfy my craving. The grocery store had pretty ones, but they were all the ordinary flavors, and I knew they wouldn't have that homemade taste. I went to a gourmet bakery, and they all looked so amazing! I quickly became frustrated trying to choose, because they were all so expensive! I mean, I wanted a snack but I didn't want to blow my budget! I finally picked one, got home, and settled in for a delicious treat. It was huge, and beautiful, and delicious... but then I started wondering- 'Did I pick the right one?' 'This thing is huge. I can't eat it all, but I spent all this money on ONE cupcake.' 'I wish I had another flavor to try. If only they were smaller'... and so it began.
​
I started baking and adding variety to miniature sized cupcakes, then giving the extras to friends and family. They wanted more. So I started making them regular size. They wanted more. So then I decided to go for it- and I really started experimenting. Some were bad, some were good, and some were a home run! Eventually, the requests got crazy so I decided to make a business out of it. I was enjoying the creativity but I loved giving people EXACTLY what they wanted, so the variety pack was born.
​
Then... on a whim, I made a batch of Margarita cupcakes. Well that just led to a whole world of possibilities! Again, I started experimenting and came up with all sorts of delicious recipes using liquor and added another whole segment to the business. These are for adults only; you can definitely taste the spirit!
​
I want to make unique flavors and combinations that are craved and practical. I spend my time developing the tastes, not fancily decorating mediocre cupcakes. My hope is that the next time you think, 'Hmmmm... what would be a good dessert for the family after dinner tomorrow?', you will place your custom order that will make your whole family happy!
