24 carrot cake

We peel and grate forty pounds of carrots to make one batch of this cake. All those carrots add an incredible moistness and a fresh sweetness to the cake. Combine them with toasted walnuts and aromatic spices and you get a great cake that's totally delicious on its own. Cover it with a generous amount of cream cheese frosting and it becomes irresistible. Available in 6" and 9" rounds and sheet cakes.

stuffed cupcakes

Our stuffed cupcakes are cupcakes for grown ups you might say...try the After Dinner Mint (chocolate cake filled with vanilla peppermint pastry cream and topped with chocolate butter cream with a fondant mint leaf on top) or the Pretty Please (Almond pound cake filled with cherry preserves and topped vanilla butter cream and a fondant cherry).
So crouch down in your cubicle or lock the bedroom door so no one tries to rob you of these irresistible cupcakes. Better yet pick up a six pack and start a cupcake club!

The quintessential birthday cake. A dense buttery yellow cake filled with raspberry buttercream and covered in smooth vanilla swiss buttercream.
