Is re-opening better than ever and Gluten Free!

After over 6 months, I have gone through even withdrawals and finally decided that the business is going to re-open.  It will be a gluten-free cake and cupcake business.  The items will be just as tasty as before so anyone can enjoy them but especially my fellow Celiacs!  Changes to the website, including pricing and details, will be coming but for now the best news is...

WE ARE OPEN FOR BUSINESS!!!!!!!!!!

A sad day...

It is with much frustration and sadness that I officially "close" the business until further notice.  I have been newly diagnosed with Celiac Disease.  And I am not able, at this point, to bake with wheat flour (a staple in my recipes) in my kitchen.  I hope that I can figure out another way.  But until then...Gwendolyn's Goodies is closed.

Thanks for all of the business over the past year. 

What's New for Spring??!!??!!

Spring has sprung, the birds are chirping and the oven is heating up!

I'm so excited about the upcoming season that I just had to share some new things.

1.  Check the pricing page as new prices will soon be posted.

2.  Gumpaste flowers, bouquets and other embellishments are now available.  I'm excited about my new found skill and ready to share with you.  Below is an example of a recent small bouquet I did.

3. The business cards and other marketing materials have been ordered.  I'm SO very excited to have them to share.

4.  New contest for Spring - keep an eye out for the upcoming contest which will begin later this month. 

Upcoming Price Changes

Things are busy and the oven is hot!  I am excited about the upcoming orders I have to share with my friends and family as they celebrate important days in their lives...birthdays, baby showers, weddings...and so many more!

A friendly announcement to my wonderful customers - I will be increasing my prices as of May 1st.  Please order your cake by April 30th in order to secure the Winter 2011 pricing.  All orders received after May 1st will be priced according to the Spring 2011 pricing list.

Not only can you get current pricing for your order but you can also ensure that your date is on my calendar.

My two favorites so far!

 I am so proud to show you pictures of these 2 cakes.  The first I did for a cool 5 year old, Peyton.  It was so awesome to see all of the kids faces as they looked at and admired the cake.  And I've already received 2 orders for this one for later in the year.

The second one I did last weekend for a special 5 year old, Abigail.  It was a LATE night of decorating and I was at first not sure how it was going to turn out but as the night went on and the cake came together...it was as though I was creating a masterpiece.  I hope you enjoy it too!
