Exciting new changes!!

With all the changes in our lives from moving from Idaho to North Dakota, to adding our baby girl to the family, cake has kind of taken a back seat to life. But I recently decided that I need to get back to it. I miss baking and I really miss making cakes for people!

I recently started selling cupcakes at the local Dickinson farmers market*. It's really been a lot of fun to meet people in the community while sharing my creations and I'm really considering making a go at getting a business started here in Dickinson!

I was also contacted by the local newspaper at the Farmers Market about doing an article on my cupcakes and I'm SUPER excited to see how it turns out!

The other fun news is, Wild Sugar now has a Facebook page! I'm hoping that once I get the boring details of business licensing and such out of the way and start making cake orders, I will start posting weekly specials just for Facebook followers!

*Come visit us at the Farmers Market every Tuesday and Saturday at 10am in the parking lot of AWTY Maps on Hwy 10!

Mass Update!

My friends husband called me up and asked me to do a surprise cake for Jennifer for their anniversary. He had me do a recreation of the top tier of their wedding cake! It wasn't my proudest moment. Buttercream frosting and i dont always get along real well. But it turned out ok i think! I added their kids initials (MJM) on the back of it too!

 

This one was for my friends little girl. I managed a little better with the buttercream this time! Lol!

These were just for fun. They are miniature lemon drop cupcakes!

 

The cupcakes were for another little girls birthday. They were White Chocolate, and for some unknown reason it took me a few batches to get one that didn't sink in the middle. They looked more like donuts. It was weird....but eventually, they turned out, and she got her cupcakes!

 

Obviously, these were easter cupcakes. The little bitty mini ones were for the kids at church. The big ones were for the adult kids at the Easter BBQ at church!

 

I cant remember if i've posted these or not, so i'm going to go ahead and do it again! It's a wedding cake and a grooms cake. The Groom is a soldier, so he got a surprise tank at the wedding! It's one of my all-time favorites! The wedding cake was a topsy turvy cake. My first ever, and definitely a learning experience....the middle tier was a little too big around, so it didn't turn out exactly how it was supposed to. Cute still though!

 

The purple "1" cake above was for the little sister of Roper! This was his 3rd birthday! He got a little buckle cake for his very own! I cant actually take much credit for the big cake. I was extremely busy and behind schedule that day, so my husband actually ended up making all the fondant figures on the cake!

 

I think that's all my most recent cakes. I feel like i'm forgetting some though...hmmm...Let me know if i've made one for you in the last few months and there's no picture of it on here! Thanks!

Baby Belly Cake!

I know i SERIOUSLY need to do some catching up on this blog. I've been so busy lately, and this has kind of been neglected....So i'll add my most recent cake, and add on posts from there!

This baby shower cake was for my friends sister. They wanted a belly cake, which i wasn't worried about. However, they wanted it to have a western button up shirt. I had NEVER seen one like that before, nor could i find one. Everything was sleeveless........and collar-less........ So i had to wing it, once again!

This cake taught me a few lessons. First one being that it is IMPOSSIBLE to make fondant without powdered sugar (duh) and even more importantly, it is IMPOSSIBLE to get powdered sugar in Downey Idaho at midnight. Just doesn't exist. Not even McCammon has it (Who woulda thunk it?). So stock up, unless you want to drive 50 miles in the middle of the night to get said sugar. Or get up at 6 am the next morning to do it like i did.

I also learned that i REALLY LOVE making belly cakes! They are so stinkin' cute to begin with, then to add the cowgirl flair that i obviously love just makes it perfect!

Monthly Specials!!!

There is ALWAYS an occasion for cake! So every month i will feature a new design or flavor at a special discounted price. Basically, what i'm saying is, i'm using ya'll as guinea pigs to try out new things! So keep watching!!!

Also, i am going to start giving referral discounts. Send me a friend and i'll give you $5 bucks off your next order with me. Send me 10 friends, and i'll give you $50 bucks off! That's free cake people! *The friend you send me has to place an order to qualify for your discount!!

Mak's Cupcakes!

On May 3rd, I have some special cupcakes coming. They are going to be the most vibrant hot pink I can create with frosting. There should be a baby girl blowing out her one candle on a birthday cake that day. Instead, it will be a day we remember her and pray for her family.


100% of the proceeds for these cupcakes ordered for May 3rd will go to Mak’s momma. She can use it for whatever she feels most appropriate, whether that be to help pay for the classes she’s taking right now so she can get the great job she’s after to create the life she wants for her and Cheyenne, or to help with her living expenses until she gets that great job, or to put towards a cause to remember Makenna. Whatever she needs most right now.

I can’t rewind time. I can’t make the hurt go away. I can’t fix Jessica’s financial stress. But I CAN bake!!!

The details:

• The cupcakes will be $20/dozen and $10/half-dozen.

• All of the cupcakes will be frosted in buttercream. Hot pink. Pink is Makenna, so pink they will be!

• Choice of 3 flavors: Chocolate, vanilla, or butter cake (aka yellow cake).*

• I will take orders from now til Saturday May 1st. All cupcakes will be delivered May 3rd.

I know Jess has a lot of family and friends that are too far away from me to order cupcakes that would like to be involved. Don’t worry though, I have a plan for you guys too! Details to follow soon! (Let me know if you are interested though ok!)



*If you have a specific request for a flavor, let me know. Depending on how many orders I get, I may be able to get more creative with flavors!

Lady Bugs!!

I really need to catch up on this blog! Unfortunately, i have all the pictures of the cute mini candy corn cuupcakes and the zombie cake on my desktop computer, and my monitor died recently so i cant get to them right now....

SO i'll just start from the most recent cake i did!

It started from a Facebook message from an old friend of mine. Her baby girl turned one this past weekend and she said that she wished i lived closer so i could make her cake! I told her i was sure we could figure out how to get it to her! Then she told me what she wanted and i just HAD to make the cake! You see, i am the mom of two little boys, meaning, i dont often get the chance to make fun girly things. So i JUMPED at the chance to make her cake when she said she wanted lady bugs!

This cake was a blast to make! Even though my oh-so-helpful three year old decided to take giant handfuls out of one of the cakes and i had to bake new cakes at the last minute, it turned out great!

Happy Birthday Taycee!! 

Princess Castle cake!

 I was terrified of this cake. I told the girl i would do it, then started thinking about it and went "HOW do i even BEGIN?". But i did it anyways, and it turned out pretty cute i think!
