SemiSweet At Home

SemiSweet At Home Making sweet things happen one homemade baked good at a time. Hello everyone! My name is Alex Ervin, and those of you who know me know I love to bake!

I've steadily been making the kitchen my second home since I was 15, and I was recently inspired to share some happiness in the form of baked goods with the rest of the world. I can provide desserts for any and all occasions - birthdays, holidays, anniversaries, graduations, office parties, and anything in between. I can also do children's' birthday parties! Looking for a fun way to serve dessert?

How about cupcakes that the party guests decorate themselves? I will gladly take care of the birthday dessert - or rather, the kids will! I'll come armed with cupcakes, frosting, decorations, and tools and help everyone make their perfect cupcake. Feel free to check out my portfolio album to look at some of my past creations. I have a lot of different desserts in my repertoire, so don't hesitate to make requests! Chances are, if you request it, I'll bake it! If you can't make up your mind because there are so many desserts in the world and so little time, here are some of the other treats I make:

-Endless types of cookies, including Espresso Chocolate Chip, Lime Cornmeal, Peppermint Mocha, Classic Shortbread, and Snickerdoodles
-Cranberry-Blueberry Bread and Banana Bread (with or without chocolate chips!)
-Rugelach (classic cinnamon as well as other flavors)
-French Macarons in several flavors, including Chocolate, Vanilla, and Peppermint
-Breakfast pastries such as Cinnamon Rolls, Scones, and Muffins

I have no problem with altering recipes to make them gluten-free, vegan, or to fit any other dietary restrictions you may have! Contact me with your questions about treats I can make for your next celebration, including pricing.

Hello and welcome! I am so excited to be sharing this confectionary adventure with all of you! I'd like to remind everyone that, per the message on my cover photo, I will be donating 10% of all profits from now until the end of 2017 to United for Puerto Rico, a fundraiser dedicated to helping those affected by Hurricane Maria. Buy some baked goods and help an island in need - it's a win-win!
