Baking For Bastrop

Last weekend Simply Sweet donated over $250 worth of baked goods for Austin Bakes for Bastrop. Together with other bakers, bloggers, volunteers, professional chefs, and business owners we helped raise $12,765 for the Central Texas Wildfire Fund. It was so wonderful to be a part of this group and help out in any way we could. 

One touching moment from the bake sale was when a young girl walked up to me (Jenn) and said, "Thank you so much for what you are doing. You don't know how much this means to me. My father's house burnt down in the fire." I was so touched by her, as were the others at our table. It made what we were there doing so much more meaningful. 

We want to thank all our family and friends who came out to support us as well! We hope you enjoyed your cookies and cupcakes!

40th Birthday Cake

Last week we were asked to create a small birthday cake for a 40th birthday. Our client was surprising his wife with the cake, so we knew it had to be special! The only request were a white cake, cream cheese frosting, and fondant detailing incorporating the number 40. 

We couldn't be happier with how the cake turned out! We decided to go with a classic white, grey, and pink color palette to keep it chic and classy, just like the birthday girl.

We also created coordinating cupcakes for this cake which would be beautiful on any dessert table. This design can be re-created in any color scheme!

Simply Sweet,
