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!

We have our winners!!!!!!!!!!

Allow me to help make your Valentine's Day a little bit sweeter!

Gluten Free Products

I am proud to announce that I am offering Gluten Free products.  It would be a shame not to have this as an offering since my mom has Celiac Disease as do some of my friends.  If you would like to have a Gluten Free cake or cupcakes for your event, please specify when ordering.

I currently offer Golden Yellow G-Free and Chocolate G-Free.  As I perfect other recipes, I will include those as well.

New Year, New Start

Happy New Year!

Gwendolyn's Goodies is proud to announce that we (I) are back up and running!  With 3 cake orders already for this new year, the business taken off after a short break.  Although I am not 100% yet, I am hoping that as time goes by so will the aches and pains.

A few new things for 2011:
1.  Updated princing.  Please see the price list page for details.
2.  Contests throughout the year.  Visit back for details through the year, especially during the holidays.
3.  New marketing materials to come!
4.  I am learning new skills and will be able to offer to products.

I look forward to the year and the excitement to come!

Recent cakes I have one done for friends and family

Here are a few cakes I have done recently.  I thought I would share with you what kept me busy BEFORE my accident.  I am looking forward to feeling better and therefore being able to bake for my wonderful customers again!

 Monster Energey Cake and cupcakes for Tyler's 13th Birthday.  Yellow cake and cupcakes with chocolate buttercream icing.  I had something happen to my icing color overnight so the Can looks tarnished but the birthday boy liked it!

 Full sheet cake for a 40th Birthday celebration.  1/2 yellow and 1/2 devil's food with almond buttercream icing.

 Full sheet cake for the Marine Corps Birthday celebration.  1/2 yellow and 1/2 devil's food with almond buttercream icing.

 Two tiered yellow cake with almond buttercream icing for Mattingly Jane's Christening celebrations.  The icing was almond buttercream with Lace design work.

Devil's Food double layer cake with almond buttercream icing for Gracie's Birthday

I donated coupons for a benefit bake sale.  Jackie called to order a cake for herself for her birthday.  She was so grateful...I think I "earned" a new customer!

A very fun cake to do for a special guy on his birthday!!!  This one is yellow cake with Buttercream Icing...no almond in this one at the customer's request.
