Cake Truffles by Cacao Bakery

Talk about the best of both worlds....a cake and truffle in one bite!

We connected with Cacao Bakery a couple months ago and they sent us some of their tasty treats. They are so moist and delicious. And right now you can order some "limited time" special (cacao)'s sweets & treats for your Valentine!

Their Valentine special is Asti Champagne & Berries Cupcakes! Real Asti Champagne baked within these tender white cupcakes, topped with a fresh Raspberry Buttercream Frosting.

They even dressed up their cupcakes and cake truffles with Bella Cupcake Couture. Sweet!

Baby Love, Baby Eco!




We are in awe of how beautiful this cupcake display from Greenpartygoods.com is. And guess what? It is all eco-friendly (just like our wrappers- Dorothy polkadots displayed). So if you are as environmental conscious as we are, this is the perfect cupcake display for your next big event.

They have thought of everything as well. From two-sided, coated recycled corrugated cardboard, so it can be wiped clean, stored - ready for reassembly and redecoration at another event. We all know that the cupcake is basically an icing delivery vehicle (I say, pile that frosting high). And with the Eco-Cupcake Stand it was specifically designed to ensure ample space between each tier for frosting and a topper. These stands are available in both square and the round. Cost is between $28.95- $35.95

The bride or hostess can express herself with a personal touch and customize either stand to match the palette of her occasion. They even have many beautiful examples of decoration options on their site.

And if you are looking for a one stop shopping experience for eco-friendly entertaing, Check out Greenpartygoods.com today. They have an array of guilt free, eco-friendly gifts and tableware. Happy eco-shopping!



The Breakfast Club

There is a trend sweeping the food world, and cupcakes are not immune to it. What is it? Bacon! There’s bacon flavored mayo, liquor, even bacon flavored envelope glue. Well, now even the dessert world has been hit with bacon flavored cupcakes.

We at Bella Cupcake Couture were curious. Would it be like maple syrup and bacon? Salty? Greasy? Or would it be the greatest food combination in history? We went to Yellow Leaf Cupcake Co. to find out.

There they had just unveiled their new bacon cupcake, being touted as the new “it” Valentine’s Day gift for men. Its official name is pancakes and bacon. We were skeptical but oddly I had never been so excited to eat a cupcake in my life.

We hurried back to the office immediately running in the door, grabbing a knife and cutting the cupcake into thirds to share among the team. The first bite was interesting, soft moist cake with crunchy bits of bacon. I was so intrigued that I continued to eat it amidst the amount of mapley butter cream frosting on my face. Final verdict. Great, I loved it! I would definitely, probably eat one again.

Say it sweetly with a Bacon cupcake wrapped in Valentine’s Day couture and give your sweetheart something truly unique.

Speaking of bacon, check out Cakespy's artwork of cupcakes and bacon. Cocktails, cupcakes and bacon....that is my kind of party.

We are honored to be featured on SheSez, a women’s online magazine. Here is an excerpt from the article:

“
This little company has come up with an incredibly unique, chic line of cupcake covers or “wrappers” as they call them…It’s an easy way to up the ante the next time you’re in a Betty Crocker mood or you’re hoping to wow dinner guests with a homemade desert. Or better yet, buy some yummy red velvet cakes from Ralph's and dress ‘em up (or dare I say disguise them?) in these wrappers. Your guests will think you splurged at some posh Beverly Hills bakery and you can have a little chuckle to yourself!”

Check out the rest of the story HERE

SheSez covers a variety of topics from Golden Globe attire, beauty product reviews and recipes.
We are very proud to be featured and hope you all take a little time to look at this fun and interesting site.
