All these birthday and congrats notes being requested lately had me wanting some more exciting cards to put them on! I placed an order this week for some cute cards to use when you want me to include a note on your order. There have been a few requests for candles and balloons as well. While I don't keep them stocked, I can understand the need and will do my best to have some available. Just let me know in the notes or shoot me an email if you need some sent with your order. Let's have a great week, guys! 😊

As we begin to close out April, I just wanted to give a quick update on some behind the scenes of cupcake orders. This month I have been doing drop offs to some of our heroes on the front lines. While there is already so much support and love for them, I know most appreciation gifts have been delivered during the daytime. I wanted to make sure the night shifts are also getting some fresh love as well. All drop offs have been done to ensure the night shifts are getting some sweets whether it's been the hospital ERs or some of the local firehouses. Some of these drops off have been sponsored by a very generous client wishing to remain anonymous and others have been sponsored by yours truly(me)🙋‍♀️. I'm not done with my list, though! More drop offs to come ❤ #NightShiftsMatterToo #SeparateButTogether #WeAppreciateYou #AllOfYou

Warning: Those with nut allergies may want to back away from this post 😬 A regular client of mine ordered cupcakes recently. She said it could be whenever, no rush. She just wanted cupcakes within the next 2 weeks of her contacting me and that anything Nutella was good for her. Anything Nutella 🤔 Well, this is what I finally came up with. I'm gonna call it Hazelnutty AF. What you're looking at here is a chocolate cake with a hazelnut filling, iced with a Hazelnut Buttercream, sprinkled with crushed walnut, topped with a Ferrero Rocher chocolate and finally some more Hazelnut drizzle 😎 the pictures I got from them and the feedback hasn't stopped since they were delivered yesterday 🤣 so what do you guys think? Add it to the menu? 💁‍♀️

Who says Gluten Free has to be boring? While not all the regular flavors can be made Gluten Free, a majority of them can be 😊 Let me know which one you were eyeing and I can confirm if it can be done Gluten Free. Please note GF cupcakes are made in the same kitchen as those with gluten. Cross contamination is always a possibility regardless of how careful I might be. For those of you with Celiac, please keep that in mind when placing an order. Thank you!

How's everyone's week going? I am very much enjoying making these cupcakes for you guys! Most of the orders coming in aren't even clients ordering for themselves. They are gifting cupcakes to friends, neighbors, and/or family to brighten their days. That has to be the sweetest thing! I love being a part of that! 💜 thank you for supporting small businesses during these times 💜

04/14/2020

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter! You guys have been keeping me busy and I am so incredibly thankful for each and every one of you! Keep the orders coming! I love being able to sweeten your days up! It helps sweeten mine too 💜

04/10/2020

Well 💩! Looks like another birthday stuck in quarantine! Hope these brighten the day up today 💙

04/07/2020

Client was celebrating her 50th today and wanted something "50th" on her order. As you all know it is very difficult to come by supplies during this time. I normally would've ordered online, but that wouldn't have arrived for another few weeks with all the current delays. I went to a couple places - no dice. Decided I'd try making my own. I hope she loves them! I know I really enjoyed making them 😊 Happy Birthday!!

04/06/2020

I was able to help ring in a Sweet 16 over the weekend. Added a little tiara to make it a little more special. I was told she very much enjoyed them 💙

03/31/2020

Who says you can't still send/receive flowers on your birthday? 💁‍♀️ Got a few birthday flowers going out this week for some birthday quarantine celebrations 💜 **Please note that a No-Contact Delivery is the only option for orders during this time** Thanks for your continued support!

03/27/2020

Tried something a LITTLE different in the kitchen today. Mini cheesecakes! What say you guys? I ended up eating 3 so far today 😬

Stuck in quarantine on your birthday? Sweeten it up with some cupcakes! 😁 Happy Birthday, Ashley! Hope you love them 💜 **Please note I am only offering no-contact delivery for the time being**

03/23/2020

How about some Spring Flowers to get the week started 🌸 Friendly reminder delivery is still an option and it is most definitely contact free. If you want to send cupcake love to someone that could use a sweets break during this quarantine, I'm happy to help with those orders too! Hope everyone is staying healthy and indoors 💙

03/20/2020

Incredibly thankful to finally get some orders even if it's at the end of the week 💙 I know we're all trying to be careful and safe throughout all this. Deliveries are still available if your tastebuds are needing some. Please try to support small businesses as best you can through this even if it isn't cupcakes! It can be your fav local burger or Thai spot. As long as you're able to support, I know they(we) could really use it right now. Together we can do more 💙

03/18/2020

How are you guys holding up during Quarantine 2020? For some of you it means more time at home without work. What new projects have you taken up? Me, I've just been brainstorming new cupcake ideas/flavors. Hope we can all come back from this stronger than before. Those of you out there in the front lines, I am praying for you, your health and your families. Thank you for doing your best to help keep us safe 💙

It's been a very chaotic time lately with everything pertaining to the COVID-19 virus. Please remember to be kind and thoughtful. Just because you may not be high risk, doesn't mean someone else you know won't be affected. As a small business, I too have felt the affects of this as I'm sure countless others. Please be mindful, supportive of each other and stay clean! If you are in need of resources, please reach out. Food, encouragement, jokes, memes, etc. We are all in this together ❤ For now, please enjoy a Chocolate Raspberry and Chocolate Salted Caramel cupcake to sweeten the start of the weekend ❤

"My vision for Cupcakes: The galleria is to be very community based/involved and therefore look to support local charities that can benefit from a little spare change be it through the campaign, hosting events or volunteering. While I may not be leaving a significant footprint in their efforts to help the community, I hope to at least be a small step in aiding their efforts. Paying it forward one cupcake at a time." - an excerpt from my exclusive in this month's wedding issue of VIP Alexandria Magazine! Thanks again! Friendly reminder that this month all tips are benefiting Backpack Buddies Foundation of Loudoun Inc. ! They do so much to help the kiddies in Loudoun. Please help me raise some more money for them this last week of February! 💙

You guys, we made it to February!!! Man that was a long January 😫 Starting on some Valentine's Day themed cupcakes today. What do you think? Chocolate cake with Chocolate buttercream drizzled over with some mint chocolate and finally topped with a fresh strawberry and a few Almond slices 🍓 ❤

01/30/2020

My clients are so creative 💜 This past weekend a celebration for a 70th birthday happened and my client ordered a bunch of Sweet n Simples for it. This is what she did with them. I believe she made 3 bouquets total. Super cute! 💜

01/27/2020

The big game is coming up this weekend and I'm still here playing with frosting trying to decide which to make for the party I'm headed to. I should probably pick a team to cheer for while I'm at it since mine didn't make it this year, or last, or year before that. Man, it's hard being a Washington fan 😫 Anyway, if I can make your event any sweeter with cupcakes, let me know! Can't wait! Love me some football! ❤️🏈

01/24/2020

Super bowl!! Who are you cheering for? What are you making for it?! Don't forget the cupcakes! 😁 whether you want football theme or fancy flavors, I can get it ready for the big day. So excited! I love football!

MLK Day of Service is intended to empower individuals, strengthen communities, bridge barriers, create solutions to social problems, and move us closer to Dr. King's vision of a "Beloved Community." I hope everyone gets some time today to reflect on him and his vision 💙

01/17/2020

Less than a month away now! Can you believe it?! Roses, love notes, hugs and kisses are great, but cupcakes are much sweeter! See what I did there? 😎 Let me know if I can help make this Valentine's extra special for you or your loved one(s). 💜❤️💙
