Cake Noms, Not Bombs

The entrepreneurial spirit is in full effect. I saw something on TV, then online, then in TX and I wanted it. I wanted to figure out how to make my own version of the things I’d seen. I have a killer recipe for the original cake, but this twist could be the best, so I thought. If we had a food truck, we might make only these, in various flavors. Now you know that means we’re on to something. I tried them multiple times, changing them slightly to get it just right. This twist is the best thing to happen to cake.

Ladies & Gentlemen, we introduce you to the Cake Nom. (please hold your applause)

This delicious treat is similar to a BonBon, in that it is a sweet something enrobed in chocolate. The process of creating these sweet bites is similar to that of making truffles, but with additional steps. The result, is a cake filled, chocolate covered bite that we promise will make you say “Mmmm” …or “Nomnomnom”.

Cake Noms made their Grassroots Gourmet debut on our Valentines Menu, this week. They were also featured in the Daily Candy article! Check out the other yummy things featured on the Valentines Menu this holiday season. Be sure to get your orders in before the deadline of February 7th, so that your loved ones can share in sweet goodness this year.

Though the bakery was closed for the month of October for administrative reasons, we still managed to bake off a few cakes and other sweets. Special orders and orders for friends and family were accommodated by request.

So when our dear friend Sarah needed a cake for a special 6 year old’s birthday, we were more than happy to oblige. Sarah decided that a classic chocolate cake with vanilla frosting would be perfect for her party. The catch— it was a Halloween birthday party so a themed cake was a must. I got to channel my elementary school drawing skills and had a great time decorating this Halloween birthday cake.

The pumpkin on top lends its vines to the birthday writing. On the sides are a graveyard with tombstones and bats flying above, a frightening tree where a witch left her hat and broom, a few ghosts, a black cat and a spooky moon.

The next time you need a specialty cake, for kids or adults, just let us know. We are happy to personalize a message or customize a themed cake with decorations, colors and more.
