Our Core Values

  • Serving Others

    Our cupcakes are more than just a way satisfy your sweet tooth. They are an opportunity for us to serve and celebrate life’s special moments.

    ​Cupcakes help us remember good times from days gone past and they create new memories at special occasions like birthdays, anniversaries, weddings or to celebrate the birth of a child. Actually, there’s a cupcake for just about any occasion at all and we love being a part of life’s celebrations.

  • Whole Hearted

    All of our gourmet cupcakes are baked fresh every morning from scratch using only the finest ingredients and our own special recipes.

    No box mixes or funny stuff here! Our variety of cakes & cupcakes are all made fresh and each one is hand piped and decorated to exacting standards. We have the opportunity every day to create fun and exciting flavors for you to enjoy and are blessed each time our cupcakes make someone smile.

  • Leave Happy

    We not only take our gourmet cupcakes and specialty cakes seriously, but we are fanatics when it comes to customer service.

    Our core belief of customer service is that “Every Customer Leaves Happy”. We embrace every opportunity we have to serve you and exceed your expectations. And in those rare circumstances where we don’t make you smile, we will do whatever it takes to make it right.
    You have our word!
