​But more than just treats, we like to think of you as part of our Boxed Up family. You’ll get the same attention to detai

I can truly say I give a whole new meaning to the phrase “handmade with love.”

Thank God for generators! I was able to get one order done and, fingers crossed, I’m hoping to get the remainder of my last order completed as well.

Going on roughly 36 HOURS with no electricity really puts things into perspective. I will never, EVER take the little things in my life for granted. Not being able to do the thing that makes me happy AND, obviously, helps put food on my family’s table has definitely been a humbling experience.

If I end up losing some product or supplies, I’ll be disappointed, of course, but I’m also incredibly grateful that everyone around me is safe. We’ll get through this like we get through everything else in life — together.

And I am absolutely NOT upset with our power company for not having power restored yet. If you’ve had the opportunity to drive through the Westmont area, you’ll understand why.

We actually had a low-flying helicopter behind us surveying the damage through the 550 acres of woods back there. There are trees down everywhere and power lines are tangled up in the mess. It is INSANE. So honestly, those crews have their work cut out for them!

So I say this as humbly as I possibly can…

THANK YOU.

Thank you all so incredibly much for being understanding, patient, and — more importantly — so incredibly supportive of me and my family.

I’m forever grateful for this little business, for the people who support it, and for all of YOU.

This power outage was not something I had planned on my calendar 😬

I’ve had some messages asking if I could do a fall run on my mini 5 oz cakes. And given the circumstances of the past two days I’m going to need to recoup some things. And this would be a huge boost.

And I just wanted to give a huge shout out to Forest Hills’s Cross Country Hannah Balog for your incredible patience this morning with your fundraiser. THANK YOU 💚

I also wanna say thank you to the customers who so kindly pushed back their day of pick up and praying for my power to get turned back on.

I have the absolute worst headache from stressing and worrying, but I know everything will work out .

Please feel free to share if you would like. I don’t expect everyone to buy something. I’m just grateful for the support.

Morning friends.

PLEASE be patient with me today. We have had no power since 7 pm last night and I will be reaching out to everyone to coordinate pickups. Unfortunately I ice everything day of so orders today are NOT iced yet.

They have asked everyone who does NOT need to be on the roads to stay home as they declared a state of emergency. ‼️

This was not on my to do list today 😥

Going to do a quick reintroduction because this community has grown SO much lately, and I figured it’s probably time you know the face behind the mini treats. 🖤

Hi! I’m Martina. 👋🏼
The face, hands, baker, delivery driver, customer service department, social media manager, accountant… basically the entire operation behind the scenes.

I’m a mom — newest title: Soccer Mom — and I wear that one proudly. I’m a wife, a pretty badass friend to the lucky people who get to know me and, most importantly, just a regular girl who decided to take a chance on herself.

What started as a little COVID venture quickly turned into my life, my passion, and something I never could have imagined.

After spending years in the corporate world only to ultimately feel let down, I decided to dive headfirst into what I actually LOVE — creating things that make people happy… and occasionally putting them into a small sugar-induced coma.

I was given a platform to share my love of creating with my community, and that’s exactly what I’m trying to do.

You’re going to see the good, the not-so-good, and, well… the ugly around here too. Because that’s me. I’m not interested in pretending everything is perfect. I’m building this thing in real time, figuring it out as I go, raising kids, running a business, chasing soccer games and somehow keeping all the balls in the air. Some days I absolutely crush it. Other days… we don’t talk about those.

One of my favorite things is being out in the community and having someone come up to me and say, “Hey! You’re the lady who makes those little cupcakes! I had them at so-and-so’s party!”

And honestly? I feel like I’ve reached celebrity status. ☺️

If you’re looking for something unique, fun and a little different for your next event, I’m your girl. I’m super easy to work with, I’ll probably get way too excited about your theme, and once you become a customer, you’re officially part of this sweet little community.

So whether you’ve been here since the beginning or you’re brand new around here…

WELCOME. I’m so freaking happy you’re here.

Now let’s make some memories, eat some cake and have a little fun along the way. 🧁🖤

Love you all! 🫶🏼

If your name is not on this list and you previously commented. Please comment on this post. Do not message me as I am trying to finish up my week with a fundraiser and restock over at the café along with orders. I don’t have time to check messages.

Our social media manager has been fired 😳

Jk… it’s ME!

Been baking up a storm today and creating content in between. I had no idea what time it was!

Life lately has been crazy fast. I decided to add some new 5 oz mini cakes that remind me of when I was growing up.

Banana Nut iced with our signature icing infused with a cream cheese flavoring, topped with cookie crumbles, salted caramel drizzle and topped with a banana.

Oatmeal Pie ( we all know what they are ) iced with our signature icing infused with Marshmallow fluff, and garnished with that yummy after school treat.

You will be able to grab one of these this week over at the cafe to pair with your coffee. There will be some other flavors making a debut, too 🤎

Happy Monday Morning!

What an incredible weekend we had and I hope you all did, too.

We will be super busy this week with a fundraiser, orders and our 5 oz mini pumpkin pie orders going out at the end of the week. If you haven’t set up payment arrangements, please do so. No order is completed without it.

Thank you all again for everything- all the love and support you give me honestly is incredible! 🖤🤍🧁

Happy Sunday Friends! 🤍

If you’re new, Sundays are family time and our phones get put on DND.

Please use our inquiry form on our website and we will get back to you Monday morning.

Friendly reminder: we are heading into September, all invoices are going to need paid. Please make arrangements.

Side note about pickup times:
If you’ve already let me know there’s been a change to your pickup time, no problem at all! I truly appreciate you communicating that with me.
BUT… with school starting back up and Claire officially making me a “soccer mom,” 😂⚽️ I need everyone to please be understanding of the pickup times you select.

PLEASE COMMUNICATE ANY CHANGES.

I typically put your order out right around the time you tell me you’re coming. I’m very easy to work with and I completely understand that things come up or plans change

Have an incredible Sunday!
