Alana's Wedding!

2010-07-24T14:54:00.000-07:00

What a GORGEOUS day for our lovely bride Alana!

We wanted to share with you a few pics of her wedding goodies!

We loved working with her colour palette!

& you know how we adore doing cupcakes!

Alana's cupcakes were vanilla & chocolate,

a very vanilla buttercream,

topped with a lemony fondant dot,

embellished with the initial of her new last name!

Her cake for two,

rich vanilla, vanilla buttercream,

lemon fondant & adorable flowers!

Many, many blessings to the happy couple!

They're here!

2010-07-16T18:20:00.000-07:00

We made a declaration of going GREEN! on Earth Day!

At long last our biodegradable cupcake carriers are in!

That's right! BIODEGRADABLE!

So now when you order your cupcakes from TLC,

which incidentally, best cupcakes in town, (just saying)

you are also helping the environment!

How SWEET is that???

2010-07-15T15:08:00.000-07:00

As the saying goes...

2010-06-08T18:20:00.000-07:00

When life hands you lemons....

Make lemon cake!

We're busy bees still...cruising along with our summer orders! Brides, brides everywhere!

This little tidbit is one of our more popular numbers...it is a very dense lemon cake (you know how we love our heavy cakes), filled with a cheek-puckering lemon filling & dressed with a very lemony whipped buttercream!

So summery! Sweet thoughts to you all! Be sure to use the contact form if you have any queries, and of course you can always find us on Facebook!

They say....

2010-05-28T08:10:00.000-07:00

That it's GOOD LUCK when it rains on your wedding day!

CONGRATULATIONS to our Bride & Groom today! Best Wishes for your wedding day, and for many wonderful years to come!

Happy Mother's Day!

2010-05-09T12:14:00.000-07:00

Mother's are special. If you have one, are one, remember one or will be one...enjoy your special day!

Coming Soon!

2010-04-30T17:35:00.000-07:00

WOW! It's busy days here at TLC! Wedding orders, bridal & baby showers! Best wishes to all brides & mom's to be!

Don't forget about Mother's Day which is right around the corner...don't you DARE show up at your mother's house without a little something sweet!

Best of all, we are busy working on OUR new confection...stay tuned! We're super excited & we hope you will be too!

So THAT'S why it's been so quiet!

2010-04-24T18:27:00.000-07:00

Thank you to our great friend Rosie for informing us that no-one could post a comment on our blog! It's all fixed now! So....go ahead! Comment! We would love to hear from you!

Happy Earth Day! TLC is going GREEN!

2010-04-22T03:53:00.000-07:00

That's right, you heard it! We're going GREEN! We're just a little ol' confectionery company trying to do our part in reducing our carbon footprint! We will no longer be packaging our cupcakes in our traditional cardboard/window box. Instead, we are switching to a biodegradable and compostable, clear, snap-shut container, with little cubbies for the cuppies to nestle in! We hope to expand all our products to these wonderful green containers.

Be the first to GO GREEN with TLC! Cupcakes for all occasions!

PS: Wedding season is really kicking along here @ TLC! Be sure to drop us a line for all your sweet needs!

Where does the time go??

2010-04-06T13:22:00.001-07:00

Wow! This year is certainly going fast! APRIL! How did that happen?
We hope that you & yours had a wonderful Easter weekend!

Hard to believe that we are coming upon wedding season already! And Mother's Day is right around the corner!

Sweet day to you all!

Over the past week TLC has been busy baking special order cakes and cupcakes. We had so much fun creating a custom cake for a special surprise party. The fun part was that it was for 2 special ladies so we had 2 separate confections to create. Here is a look at what we did:

This is our 'Nolene' cake

Here she is all snug in a box ready for delivery

Here is a sweet idea! Mom and Dad-to-be don't know what they are having yet? Why not have PINK and BLUE cupcakes! 50% of each sweet little possibility!!

Cloche and Cupcakes!

Happy end of January to you all! Remember to get your orders for Valentine's Day in soon! Time to place orders is running out! We are also taking special orders for your very special occasions!

Hope to hear from you soon!

2010-01-26T20:55:00.000-08:00

Hey, did you miss us???

We had to take a little breather! You all wore us out!

I think we were a little surprised with all of your wonderful orders when we first "opened shop" We didn't expect to be SO busy right off the bat! We worked like busy little kitchen bees, decided that we needed to take a little break...

recharged our batteries, made some lovely plans, did lots of businessy chores and are ready to dive head first into our Valentine orders!

A special thanks to Simplee Stated for continuously working on our beautiful blog! She is tirelessly working on our price list button, our gallery and our new contact me button. Stay tuned for changes & of course pics of some of our favourite treats!

Drop us a line, we would love to hear from you!

When life gives you lemons...

2010-01-15T15:14:00.001-08:00

Make a cake!

A very special thank you to DB, our first REPEAT customer!
This 4 layer lemon cake is layered with a tart lemon filling and lemon buttercream frosting. The cake itself is also frosted with a whole lotta lemon buttercream! It's 8 inches around & 6 inches in height! A big shout out to RK for her help in transporting this precarious cake!

Happy Friday Everyone! Do something wonderful this weekend! Have a cupcake!

Doesn't this just make you want to have a baby? Ok, ok, how about a cookie?

2010-01-14T11:57:00.000-08:00

Here's a peek of what we got up to after the great shopping day we had! These cute little onesies are a custom sugar cookie order for a baby shower this week. The baby shower has a princess theme, hence the sparkly little princess crowns! Oh we had so much fun with these!

SHOPPING!

2010-01-12T10:40:00.000-08:00

YESSS! The TLC gals are heading to their favourite baking supply store today! We will try to make it out of there with most of our hard earned bank account intact...however, we fully accept that we may get carried away in the cookie cutter section...how can you not??

And then it's back to the grindstone! Sleeves up, aprons on! We have a few orders on the go for this week; a custom birthday cake, an order of sugar cookies for a baby shower to name a few! Pics of course to follow!

Valentine's Day is RIGHT around the corner. Do you need a nice little sweet treat for your sweetie? One beautiful cupcake? 4 beautiful cupcakes? A cake for two? Gorgeous sugar cookies? We've got you covered!

Here's hoping that you & your family had a wonderful Christmas!

Our First Cake!

2009-12-24T08:57:00.000-08:00

LOOK! LOOK!

It's our first cake! Our first official cake!
It was made for a wintery 40th wedding anniversary.
Admittedly, we are a little pleased with how it turned out!

This cake was an 8 inch base with a 3 inch tier, both 3 inches tall.
The cake itself was lemon with lemon filling. Frosted with a buttercream frosting and covered with fondant. The sparkly snowflakes are handmade with royal icing. Each one as individual and unique as a real snowflake! They are a bit more delicate than we anticipated, but they turned out beautiful.

Many thanks to EB for entrusting this special occasion to us!

We baked all day yesterday for our second order which is being delivered Christmas Day! We have a custom cupcake order being delivered NYE,another custom cupcake order for January 4th and a new cake order for January 9th! EEEEK! We are just so excited! Very overwhelmed & thankful for the orders and all of the support we are receiving from all of you!
