Babycakes…a very “spirited” gift!

Greetings! My name is Carmen and am convinced I have the best job ever. I own a little bakery in Texas specializing in individual-sized liqueur cakes, and I get to feed people all over the world!

Every cake is made with dark caramelized rum, real butter, and Madagascar bourbon vanilla. No half measures here. Each comes individually packaged in a cute round container, which, by they way, make a perfect little gift. Seeking something a little fancier? My gift box filled with turquoise crinkle paper, tied with my signature black satin ribbon, is ready to go with two, four, or eight cakes.

You’ll find Carmen’s Babycakes at Central Market in Southlake, and I’m happy to bake up a batch just for you. Give me a call or send me a note!

Feel free to email me at carmen@carmensbabycakes.com

or call me at 214.649.2688.

Stay well. Stay well fed.

Carmen

My 3 Day Journey…because cancer really sucks.

My girl friend Martha and I were having lunch yesterday at our new favorite hangout, Chef Point Cafe. We talked about the typical musings of everyone we know (all in good fun of course) and then talked about this being her 2nd year to do the 3 Day Walk for breast cancer. I had been thinking about joining her this year. See, my Mom died of ovarian and colon cancer in 1997 at age 55, and my sister died of pancreatic cancer in 1992 at age 25… Click Here to read more…

New Arrival: Cocoa Framboise Babycake

This buttery, dense, dark chocolate cake is nothing less than spectacular, if I do say so myself! I have been tinkering with the recipe for over 9 weeks, and I am really happy with the final result. Here are the highlights of the past two months creating this little darling…Click Here to read more…

Sharing the love (and recipes)

This is one of my bestest girl friends, Gloria, and her Mom Geri. I met Gloria many years ago while participating in a community service volunteer event. We chose the same non-profit organization and the same task… working in the garden. We met while having a lunch of, unfortunately for her, hot dogs. She’s a vegetarian. Click Here to read more…

Ribbon Cutting a HUGE success and great fun

Oh my gosh, I can’t tell you how much fun I had at my Ribbon Cutting celebration (but I’ll try).

Central Market graciously hosted the celebration in the Patisserie, how much better could it possibly be? So many people came to help me celebrate. Keller Chamber of Commerce ambassadors, my new Central Market family, friends and new customers, and (get this!) Honorable John Terrell, Mayor of Southlake! Click Here to read more…
