Come on Spring!

Will Winter ever end?

The sprinkling of warm days tease us.  The tips of the tulip leaves quietly breaking through the earth fills us with hope.....and then here comes another snow storm.  We watch the ice break and float away only to awaken to new ice blocks formed overnight.  Up and down our spirits go as we hope this will be the week that Spring firmly plants her foot and is here to stay.

Nothing slows us down at the Bakery.  We began baking and icing our Lemon Raspberry Delight Cakes the first of April.  They join our other Spring cake, the Coconut Lemon Delight Cake, to round

out some of our favorite flavors at this time of the year.

As the girls carefully stir our lemon curd in preparation to make these Seasonal Cakes the air is filled with such a delightful smell.  Spring has definitely sprung inside the Bakery.

In Annapolis everyone is thrilled with the new cookies, meringues, scones and brownies we are beginning to offer there.  Our new bakery cases have made such a difference to the front of our shop.  How did we ever do without them?

We have many exciting things happening in the next two months.

Follow us on Facebook to stay up to date with all that will here at Caroline’s Cakes.

Come on Spring!  I am ready to ride my bike.

Goodbye February, Hello Spring!

Lots of exciting things are happening here at Caroline's Cakes.

We are putting two new bakery cases  in our Annapolis Bakery to showcase all the cakes, cupcakes and cake pops more glamorously.  

You are sure to say 'WOW!' when you step in the door.

Be on the lookout for our new selections in Annapolis.

You are going to be thrilled.

In Spartanburg, we are preparing for the launch of  

four new very special cakes........all are a surprise........

and have an extraordinary component to go with them.

You will just have to wait, but I am bursting to tell you:)

If you have not seen Martha Stewart's magazine,

'Cakes and Cupcakes,' you should flip through it when you do.

I saw so many cakes that were just like ours,  I have to wonder.....ummm!  One cake alternating chocolate and caramel layers,  

now who else does that:) Then the impatiens on cupcakes.....OK, anyone can do that, I know.......and the daffodil on the cupcake, ah ha! A few pages further, what do I find but the ladybugs on cupcakes.....wrong color green for the leaves, if you ask me...... 
and the bumble bee.....sting!

Facing page, the daisy design on the slices of cake.....well, 
I certainly have seen that before, oh yes!  

Well, well, there is a dot cake, too.....I must admit my jaw dropped;)  

The sailboat cake is a real compliment to our fish bowl cake........  

I think we will just do a sailboat cake, too.......so there!  But the final 'ah-ha' moment is the

Buche de Noel filled with Caramel Buttercream!

Well, imitation is the most sincere form of flattery.......just saying.  

Thank you, Martha. I think I will do a little imitating on my own.

With chuckles,

Caroline

Celebrating the Super Bowl at Caroline's!

The Team at Caroline's Cakes is on the field!

We leapt into 2013, scrubbed our Bakeries in Annapolis and Spartanburg from

goal post to goal post 

and positioned ourselves on the 10 yard line ready to charge up the field once again.

Catching passes and racing for the end zone over and over................(This is fun:-)).......

The Ravens and 49ers cakes and cupcakes are having a difficult time holding their lines on the front counter as customers scoot in and out of our Annapolis Bakery tucking 'Team Spirited' treats under their arms. ....... Returning to their cars they dodge those entering the Bakery doors from the parking lot.....and the game is on!

The Deli is intercepting those placing

Barbeque Party orders. 

Wings, Barbeque, Carolina Cornsticks,

Marinated Cole Slaw and Brunswick Stew

will fill up their sacks for the big Game Day.

We will allow no one to fumble out on our playing field. 

As we watch the last cupcake pass out the door and the last Team-decorated Cake make its way to the

field goal we will throw our hands in the air and 

do our own Touchdown Dance!

The Caroline's Team wins again........:-)

Thanks to all of you Caroline's Cakes' fans who have  

cheered us on over the years. ..............Enjoy!

'Taking it to the 7th Layer,'

Caroline
