No Orders Will Be Accepted June 27th-July 13th

We got our In Vitro calendar from our doctor last week. We will begin our cycle in mid June. Please pray with us as we go through this process again. We believe God can do miracles and we also believe He has a plan for us and His plan is far better than any we could imagine. While we can't imagine being more joyed than if we found out this IVF cycle was successful we trust that if it is not successful the day we do get to bring a baby home either naturally, through some treatment or adoption will be the most glorious day of our lives and it will be more joyful than any plan we could have come up with ourselves. So pray for safety as we travel, peace as we go through the process, strength for me to get through all of the procedures and patience as we wait to see if it is successful. I will not be taking orders for the dates of June 27th through July 13th. We will be traveling a lot during that time and the retrieval and transfer are scheduled during those times. I am sorry if that inconveniences anyone. Thank you all for your support and your prayers!

What a Week!

Wow! Last week was quite a week. We started the week with 2 orders and by the end of the week we had delivered 6 orders totaling 20 dozen cupcakes! I can no longer call BabyCakes my venture. I have a wonderful partner- my sweet husband Justin! He has been a real trooper this week doing anything from running to the store for me, cleaning my mess in the kitchen, and even pureeing strawberries. Without his help I would have never gotten all of those orders out and kept my sanity. I couldn't have asked for a better partner in life and in our new business venture! He is constantly a source of calm for me. I thank God for blessing me with a husband like him!

Simply Strawberry!




Today my nephew, Keller, and cousin, Lila, helped me try a new recipe for strawberry cupcakes. We had icing everywhere! The current consensus is that these are the best cupcakes so far. They were so moist and they had the perfect hint of strawberry to them. Oh and check out my fun cupcake apron I got in Dallas last weekend!
