Jeannette's Custom Cakes

Ahhh love…what do I love…aside from my husband, my daughter, friends and family…COFFEE!!!  I felt it was necessary to do our February COTM in light of that.

Order now for your moist mocha cupcakes with a rich espresso buttercream frosting, and of course topped with a chocolate covered coffee bean. a dozen of these bad boys is $20. These are available for the month of Februrary.

Also because it is Valentine’s Day and all, we have our Valentine’s cookies on special this month as well.

Get a dozen of these, wrapped and tagged for $24. That’s a $15 savings from the regular price. Perfect for classes, teachers or just to say I love you.

That’s it for now, but I couldn’t leave without posting a picture of Liz. She’s growing so fast! Happy weekend everyone!!

2 years already!! So exciting! Who knew that 2 years ago, something to do would have turned into such an adventure! Everyone knows by now that this past year was outstanding for us, we’re so excited for all the new things that 2012 will bring. We are equally excited to be back to work (very soon), and even more excited to announce a few specials as a “Happy Birthday” promo.

I woke up this morning to some gorgeous snow, and got the urge to make some snowflake cookies. So why not do a little special on these.

Give us a call and get a dozen of the snowflakes for $30. Colour scheme of your choice available upon request. Snowflakes only.

Also since, it’s our birthday, we’ll be having our 6″ gift box cakes on special for $50 for the month of January only.

Again, colour scheme available upon request. We can also add a gift tag with the recipients name on it for that added touch. No other details can be added without a price increase.

Last but not least, cupcake of the month is back!!! Check our COTM section for our new flavour and new pricing.

I knew good things came in three’s
Please remember I am still on maternity leave until January 14th. All promos, pricing and COTM will begin then

Happy New Year Everyone!!!

It’s been requested a few times, but I wasn’t sure if it was something that I was interested in. Until a good friend of mind suggested it, we talked it over and she agreed to be my guinea pig Cupcake cakes have arrived at the bakery!

Stephanie was having a Dr. Seuss party (actually 2 of them) for her son who was turning one. We made a dummy cake for decoration and a cupcake cake for the kids to enjoy. It went over so well that I’ve decided to add them to the menu at JCC. These cupcake cakes will start at $40, price may vary depending on design (as usual). Here is the finished product with Nicco as well as the dummy that was made to match. Happy 1st Birthday Nicco, and Steph thanks for letting me be a part of it!

Please note we will be closed from April 8th at noon until April 21st 2011.

April and Easter specials will be posted shortly, and all orders for Easter weekend will have to be placed BEFORE April 8th.

Thanks in advance

Alright, so we’re going to give something new here a try, ( I know, shock right?) Cupcakes of the Month. For the month of March, any day from Monday – Thursday one dozen of our gourmet cupcakes will be offered at a discounted price. Since it is the month of St. Patrick’s Day and all, why not go with the obvious choice of chocolate mint? But of course I have to switch it up a bit, so we’re going to go with Mint Cookies ‘n’ Cream.

Starting Monday March 14th a dozen of these cupcakes will be on sale for $15. You can order them for pick up Monday-Thursday each week in march and are guaranteed this price. Please note that this does not apply for all flavours, only this particular combination for this month. Next month we will have a new flavour offered. Flavours will be chosen depending on what season we are in and any holidays that go along with it. With all of that in mind please note I will be out of town from March 27-30th.

Have a great week everyone!

Hey everyone, I’ve gotten a lot of emails over the past month asking questions on all of the topics I’ve listed below. Please use them as reference, If you still have questions, don’t hesitate to send us a message through the contact form. Have a great week!!!

HOW MUCH DO YOUR CAKES COST?
Every single cake we make is custom.  As a result of that, we do not have a general price list.  If you are interested in a cake, please contact us with any ideas you have, how many people it needs to feed and the day you require the cake. From there we would be happy to get you a quote.
In general, there is never a basic, or simple cake over here. We specialize in the different and whimsical cakes.
DO YOU MAKE INDIVIDUAL CAKES, CUPCAKES OR DECORATED COOKIES?
We do offer individual cakes, providing that they are accompanied with a larger order. We also sell cupcakes and decorated cookies. Check out our blog entries for specials on both.
HOW FAR IN ADVANCE SHOULD I ORDER A CAKE?
We tend to book up quickly; so the sooner you reserve your place on our calendar, the better.  Our busy season is from May – September, so if your order falls in that timeframe, please contact us sooner than later.
HOW DO I ORDER A CAKE?
The easiest way to order a cake from us is to contact us with any ideas you have, how many people it needs to feed and the day you require the cake. From there we would be happy to get you a quote. For cupcakes or cookies, the same applies. A minimum order of a dozen is required to fill your cupcake or cookie order.
DO YOU OFFER TASTINGS?
We apologize but we are not set up to do tastings.
DO YOU HAVE A RETAIL STORE?
No. Jeannette has a full bakery in her home.
DO YOU TEACH CLASSES?
At this time, no lessons or classes of any kind are being offered.
WHEN SHOULD I PICK UP MY CAKE?
In order to have a time that is suitable for both you and Jeannette, a few days before your cake is due to be picked up, please contact the bakery to arrange a time.  We can’t stress this enough, please be on time. If you are running late, please call us. If we don’t answer, please leave a message.
WHAT ARE YOUR HOURS OF OPERATION?
Being a home-based business, we don’t have specific 9-5 hours. Jeannette operates the business on her own, so please be patient when contacting her. Sometimes it takes a while depending on how busy she is. Also we have voicemail, please take advantage of that.

5 Minutes, 20 Slides eh? So why not 5 flavours, 20 of each? Sounds good to me.

Ignite Sault is doing it again, for the 4th time. Last year we attended and donated some cookies, this year, of course we’re going one more step. Not only will there be a gift certificate raffled off but we’ll be selling cupcakes. 5 flavours of them to be exact. Head over to the website for the details for the night and how you can score some tickets.

Get ready to enjoy the delicious desserts that are Jeannette’s Custom Cakes. Packages will be available so you can bring some home too. Rumor has it that if you like hearing Curt O’Neil ramble on…he might be talking too Be there.

It’s that time of the year again, the time when sweets are the centre of attention. Or in my household, it’s the same as every other day! This Valentine’s day we have a few things on the table for you. First off, cookies (no shock there, it is a holiday after all). Here are a few that I put together for your viewing pleasure.

I am aware they are all in the same colour scheme. I have a thing for making them all match, but they can be any colours that you please! A dozen cookies is $30.

Next up are cupcakes.  Before I get into that, I need to introduce you all to marshmallow buttercream. I made it for the first time at Christmas with the 12 Days of Cupcakes, I knew it was going to stay. So I made it again today, tinted some pink, it’s delightful. So fluffy. These cupcakes are vanilla with the marshmallow buttercream, some drizzled with chocolate sauce, some just pretty.

Cupcakes are still priced individually. Cupcakes of the month will be coming soon! Stay tuned for that!

Last but not least don’t forget about our cupcake bouquets. Order them in your favourite flavour, delivery is available if you are out of town, or even tied up at the office. Bouquets are $50.

I hope everyone has a great Valentine’s Day, email us to get your orders in! Men, this is a good idea. Your woman won’t forget it, I promise
