Things By Thea MN

These were so much fun! The pastels, the arches, the subtle spring-iness, the cookie butter buttercream- everything was fantastic. Happy Birthday!

It is spring! That means , season, and are all happening at once. Add in field trips, carnivals, and all the wonderful end of school year activities, and there is never a dull moment.

Fandoms are the best. I love the details that stick in our minds about the stories and characters! Now if someone asks me to do a cake theme to match a certain space western that is getting a reboot, I will be over the moon.

May is booked for custom cakes and cupcakes! My next opening for larger/custom orders is the weekend of June 19-20th. I'm almost always down for pound cake and scones.

Ready to go at Heidi's GrowHaus & Lifestyle Gardens with all my new artist friends!

Behold! The second best smell to grace my kitchen! Orange Cinnamon Rolls will be iced shortly and packed up for the market at Heidi's GrowHaus & Lifestyle Gardens today!

Mother's Day is coming up!

I finally had a day open to do a little playing around in the kitchen and made one of the cakes from my baking bucket list- the raised garden bed. I would like to offer a chocolate hazelnut version (chocolate cake with hazelnut wafer cookies, chocolate hazelnut filling, and crushed sandwich cookie "dirt") and a coconut pineapple version (coconut cake, pineapple filling, coconut wafer cookies, crushed speculoos cookies for dirt) for Mother's Day. They will be topped with a combination of royal icing and buttercream flowers. Cake measures about 9"x5"x3.5".Pre-order only, $35

I also had a chance to get my full sized, non-holiday bundt collection photographed and organized. Bundt pans work great for pound cakes and dense cakes like my chocolate bundt cake. Mother's Day bundt cake pre-orders $30.

Guess who will be at Heidi's GrowHaus & Lifestyle Gardens with scones, cookies, orange cinnamon rolls and cake slices on May 2nd?!? It will be close to fresh rhubarb time, so I may not have fresh rhubarb jam, but I have a few jars left from the 2025 season that I will be bringing. :)

Pound cake (this example is lemon) is always a good idea, and generally I am up for baking on short notice. The same goes for scones.

Birthday and special occasion cakes can be as simple and elegant or as one of a kind as your celebration. I appreciate as much advance notice as possible for custom cakes- at least a week, more if there are custom toppers, decorations, or printed icing sheets to order, or if it is a busy celebration season. December is heavy on holiday parties, June is big for graduation parties and weddings, and birthdays (per my last few years of cake order data) seem to be more heavily concentrated in January, March, and October.

Cake! It's what's for... breakfast? No judgment here.

Introducing the newest cake and cupcake flavor, inspired by my friend Anne: honey citrus! I'm partial to orange and honey, but honey lemon and honey ginger are delightful too. There is no granulated sugar in these- it is all honey.
