Most recently, I have had several people approach me about Gender Reveal Cupcakes. I remember not so long ago expecting my own children. For my first child, we painted the nursery yellow and waited until birth to be surprised with a son. His gender, name, birth date( he was born 4 weeks early), weight, and height were ALL a surprise! When I was expecting my second child, we had the ultra sound technician whisper the gender in my 4 year old son's ear. Tears welled up in our eyes as his proud little voice revealed life's most precious surprise, "It's a girl!" Later that day my husband emailed me and asked if from now on we should just start referring to our little unborn baby as "Megan.". From that moment on we did start calling her Megan and I guess you could say that was just the start of Megan's Cupcakes. How will you reveal your baby's gender? I am a baker not an O.B., but from past experience I can tell you that right about that scheduled 20 weekish ultra sound appointment, in most cases, your baby's gender can be revealed. So when you schedule that appointment, schedule a call with me as well. You can either tell me the gender or have your ultra sound technician tell me the gender. Then we can set up when and where you would like your cupcakes. The gender reveal scenarios could be for the expecting parents, Grandma and Grandpa, or maybe a friends and family Gender Reveal Party! Either way, Megan's Cupcakes will take care of the details inside our bakery boxes. Pick your flavors and we will place either our "It's a Girl" or "It's a Boy" ring on top of the cupcakes. Or if you were like me the first time around and waited until the birth, we also deliver Gender Reveal Cupcake Gift Boxes to the hospital to take home or pass out.

Megan's Cupcake's King Cupcakes

2013-01-06T21:52:00.001-05:00

Cupcake Flavor of the Season:
King Cupcakes
in honor of Mardi Gras

Megan's Cupcakes is continuing the Mardi Gras tradition in Cadillac with King Cupcakes! The Mardi Gras season begins on January 6th, the 12th Day of Christmas also known as "Epiphany" or "Kings Day." This is the day in the church calendar that the three kings visited the baby Jesus. This celebratory time during the church calendar continues until the day before Lent, otherwise known as "Mardi Gras" or "Fat Tuesday" which this year is on February 12th. In New Orleans starting in the 1870's people celebrated this time with a "King Cake."

Our version is a yellow cinnamon swirl cupcake topped with butter cream frosting. Each cupcake is decorated with the traditional Mardi Gras colors: purple represents justice, green represents faith and gold represents power.

A small baby, symbolizing the baby Jesus, is baked into only one cupcake in each dozen we bake. Like the biblical story, the "search for the baby" adds excitement, as each person waits to see in whose cupcake the baby will be discovered. While custom holds that the person who finds the baby in their cake will be rewarded with good luck, that person is also traditionally responsible for bringing the King Cake to the next party or gathering.

Dive into Fall with Megan's Cupcakes

2012-09-25T14:28:00.001-04:00

The summer cupcake season came and went really fast. It was a hot one, but I am proud to say all of our cupcakes survived the heat and were eaten up before the butter cream had a chance to melt! Now we are on to cool, crisp weather, fun fall flavors, and festivities.

For the month of September we will be featuring our Caramel Apple Cupcake and our Samoa Cupcake. The Caramel Apple one is a a cinnamon cupcake with diced apples, topped with butter cream frosting and a caramel drizzle. In the Samoa cupcake, we have incorporated all the flavors of the famous Girls Scout cookie. We start with a graham cracker cupcake, top it with coconut cream cheese frosting, and then garnish with toasted coconut and a chocolate drizzle.

If you are in the groove for wedding planning, please join me and Monte Durham from T-L-C's "Say yes to the Dress-Atlanta" on Sunday, October 21st from 11am-3pm at the LITTLE RIVER CASINO RESORT's 2012 Bridal Show! Yes, Monte will be there and Megan's Cupcakes will be baking for our very first "Cupcake Dive!" Brides may sign up with Jenn from 107-9 CDY, Cadillacs #1 New Music Station. The winner of the cupcake dive will win a $250 gift certificate to Saturn Gems and a $300 gift certificate for a Hotel Stay at Tree Tops Resort!

Need a treat for school, or the office? Trying to celebrate a mid-week Birthday? Planning a small or large event and need dessert catered? As always Megan's Cupcakes will deliver cupcakes in the Cadillac area for no charge to your home, school, office, or event location. If you would like to sample a flavor or have just ONE cupcake, please go to PBS/Marathon on S. Mitchell and Granite St. in Cadillac. We deliver fresh cupcakes there on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings. They are sold individually in the doughnut counter.

Megan's Cupcakes are a delightful treat for any occasion and I look forward to baking for you!

Summer is here!

2012-06-05T21:16:00.000-04:00

It is summer at Megan's Cupcakes and we are in our busy season! We have turned the air conditioning on so our butter cream frosting maintains the perfect temperature. We have added another oven which helps speed the baking process up since we bake all of our cupcakes fresh the day we deliver. And last, Rochelle, is back for the summer following her first year of Culinary School! Welcome back to the kitchen Rochelle!!

We would like to thank all of our Spring brides for entrusting us to make their wedding pretty and sweet. Also, a big thanks to all the Mothers of graduating Seniors for letting us take the burden off their shoulders to do the baking for their graduation parties.

Now its time for some fun summer events and flavors! June is Strawberry season in Michigan. Michigan strawberries are just starting to hit the markets. We use pureed Michigan berries in our Strawberry Cupcake and our Strawberry Butter Cream. They taste and smell just like summer! Then in July, our S'mores Cupcakes are back! These are a huge hit every summer and will remind you of summer camp and cook outs. We start with our graham cracker cupcake, fill it with marshmallow cream, frost it with a cooked fudge frosting, and then garnish with a mini toasted marshmallow.

If you have not discovered it yet, we deliver fresh cupcakes to The PBS Marathon Station on the corner of S. Mitchell and Granite St. every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. You can purchase cupcakes individually from the doughnut case.

In cooperation with the Independence Day festivities, we will be having a Cupcake Eating Contest on Friday, July 6th at 6:30 P.M. in the City Park in downtown Cadillac. You must register to be in the contest and only the first 10 to register will be allowed to participate. Registration forms are available and must be turned in at the Cadillac Area Visitors Bureau in downtown Cadillac.

Please join us for the 2012 Annual Festival of the Arts Taste of Cadillac food Fair on Friday, July 20th 4:00 P.M. to sell-out and Saturday, July 21st 11:00am to 4:00 P.M. You can find us in the Cadillac City Park by the Rotary Pavillion. Not only will we have individual cupcakes for sale, but we will also be individually toasting your mini marshmallows for you as well!

As always, we take orders by the dozen and will deliver to your home, work, event location, or even your camp ground. Enjoy your summer and we look forward to baking for you and seeing you out and about in downtown Cadillac!

Best Wishes!

Wedding Cupcake Planning Fun

2012-01-06T11:59:00.003-05:00

January is a great month for me to organize, re-group, and begin planning my new year! All spring, summer, and fall, here at Megan's Cupcakes we are busy baking wedding cupcakes and have custom designed cupcake displays for each individual bride and groom's special day. But when January comes, I get to be the bride again and put together my own custom display for my Bridal shows. I'll be choosing what I think will be fun and classy way to serve up wedding cupcakes and choosing my favorite flavors for taste testing at the shows! One of my fall brides actually inspired me this year and I will be going with a vintage classic theme that I am sure you will love. I hope to see you there!

Please join me this January at two Bridal Shows I will be attending! This is a great time for wedding planning. Not only will you be able to visit with the local wedding vendors, but you can taste test Megan's Cupcakes and check out all the display ideas for weddings and showers! I look forward to meeting you!

Mid-season shut down!

2011-10-13T21:24:00.003-04:00

Mid-Season Shut down!

In order to better serve you, our cupcake kitchen will be experiencing a temporary shut down from Saturday, October 15th to Friday, November 18th. We have decided that being between wedding season and the holiday season is the perfect time to undergo some improvements. This will mean that my usual PBS deliveries on Monday Wednesdays, and Fridays will be on hold until Monday, November 21st. I am still available for chatting, emailing, and planning future events during this time so please feel free to contact me! Please don't worry as I'll be back in time to bake for you during the holiday season! In the meantime, enjoy the beautiful fall weather we are having!

Bridget Coffey, Chief Cupcake

Off she goes!

2011-08-24T17:01:00.005-04:00

If you have had the opportunity in the past year to visit me in the cupcake kitchen, have seen me at a wedding show, or caught a glimpse of our cupcakes being set up for an event, then you probably would have met our Assistant Baker, Rochelle Wert. If you have had the opportunity to enjoy one of our cupcakes over the last year, then chances are they were mixed, baked, and or frosted by Rochelle. We really should have kept track of the exact number of cupcakes she may have actually frosted, it must be in the thousands!

Rochelle joined me in the kitchen last fall as a Wexford Missaukee Intermediate School District Career Tech Center student "intern". As a Senior in High School she spent half of her school day in the Culinary and Marketing program. I really just thought I needed someone to work beside me washing dishes, but she quickly moved from an "intern" role to my Assistant Baker and my right hand gal. By the end of this summer she was able to take a lead in the kitchen so I could spend more time doing some of the behind the scene operations and preparations for our larger events. In the back of my mind I thought if I got another call from Cupcake Wars and actually made it on the show, I could do it now! But only if Rochelle was by my side!

When I first met Rochelle, her dream after graduation was to be accepted and attend Culinary School where she could specialize in pastry. Next week her dream is coming true! Rochelle will be heading to Rhode Island where she will be attending Culinary School at Johnson and Whales University, which boasts some famous alumni such as the likes of Emeril Laggasse.

I am going to miss having her in the kitchen, but I can't wait to be able to hear about her adventures in the world of culinary! Please join me in wishing Rochelle the best of luck, safe travels, and Congratulations on her new adventure!

Celebrating Summer in Michigan with Megan's Cupcakes

2011-07-29T10:24:00.003-04:00

Happy Summer! We are in full swing catering many events from weddings to birthdays to back yard barbecues. In addition to baking cupcakes, we have been busy updating our website and would love for you to check out our new and improved site! If you are interested in following us on a daily basis, watching for new flavors, and seeing photos of our latest work, please check us out on facebook. We are very excited to be near the 500 fan mark!

For July and August we will be celebrating summer in Michigan! Please join us on Saturday, July 30th from 11am-2pm in downtown Cadillac for Sidewalk Sales. Megan's Cupcakes will be setting up shop between Platinum Noir Salon and Atomic Closet. We will have Michigan Black Sweet Cherry Butter Cream Frosting Shots free to sample, and our new cupcake flavor, Cherrilicious! This is a Black Sweet Cherry Cupcake topped with Cherry Butter cream garnished with a cherry on top! We'll have cupcakes for sale by the individual or in 6 packs. While you are sampling your Cherry Buttercream, Megan's cousin, Emma, will be face painting. Have a cupcake painted on your cheek for $1.00. The proceeds from face painting will go to benefit Project Christmas!

Our August flavor of the month is another Michigan favorite, Blueberrilicious! This is our Blueberry Cupcake topped with Blueberry Butter Cream. We use Michigan blueberries that are locally grown, puree them to put inside the cupcake batter and in the butter cream. When it's all baked and frosted, we garnish the cupcake with a little blueberry on top! Not only are they a beautiful shade of blue, but they taste great too! You will love them!

On a side note, my cupcake kitchen will be closed from Monday, August 8th to Thursday, August 11th so I can enjoy some of the beauty Michigan has to offer with my family! We will be turning the ovens back on Friday, August 12th!

Happy Summer to you and yours!
