News that shocked me...

Last week when I was at the bank I was talking to the banker about the cupcake business. I was talking about my future dream of having a cupcake bakery possibly in the area. I stated that there were no bakery of that sort in a 20 miles radius. I also told her how we make our own vanilla, and really want to use as many organic items as we can. I proceeded to tell her that we make each cupcake batter individual and we don't mass produce. She asked me if I knew about Dutchway and Giant, and I said no. She said that Dutchway and Giant do not bake their own cakes or cupcakes. I was SHOCKED! I just assumed they did the baking since they had a bakery in store. I don't think I will ever buy a cake or get cupcakes from a store bakery again. I am proud to say that Country Cupcakes do make FRESH baked goods and everything is made to order. As much as I love Dutchway and I do; I shop there every week, I won't be buying any cakes or cupcakes from them. If you are looking for fresh cupcakes make sure you get in touch with me! I would be happy to create something amazing for your occasion!!

  1. All off their cakes, cupcakes, etc. come in frozen, they defrost and decorate...no baking utensils to be found. That's why I always got ours homemade :)

  2. By no means am I trashing Dutchway! Like I stated above, I love shopping at Dutchway for their fresh local produce and fresh cuts of meat. I am just saying they only ice their cakes and cupcakes. (or shall I say that is what someone told me) I never said they didn't bake their cookies, doughnuts or any other baked goods sold there!
