Hey there Cupcake!

~Custom "Theme Party" Injected Cupcakes~
  
    Katie and I didn't originally set out to include Cupcakes on our Scrumptious Menu.  However; because of the growing "Cupcake Craze" and popularity of them among our clients we decided to add them to our menu after all.  As many of our clients and friends have young children, as we do.  What kids don't like cupcakes?!  But we knew that ours had to be different from all of the other cupcakes out there.  With Frosted, Sweet and Saucy as well as Great Dane for competitors we wanted to set our cupcakes apart from those offered at nearby bakeries.  So, we decided to make our cupcakes "injected"!  This means that every cupcake has a filling down through the center of the cake.  Depending on the flavor of cupcake the injection may be a mousse (vanilla or chocolate), peanut butter, fresh fruit, curds, or creme (coconut creme or a variety of fruits).
So, not only are our cupcakes "injected", but they are slightly lower in price compared to our surrounding competition, and we will deliver them to you for your party!
   We have two categories of our Injected Cupcakes on our Menu; Simple or Specialty. However, we can bake any cupcakes and add "theme" toppers, sprinkles, decorations, or custom colors to coordinate with your party.  This is very popular and finishes off the look of your celebration wonderfully!
Take a look at some of our Custom Scrumptious Creations:

Scrumptious combined with Pilates

   How do baked goods and exercise, let alone Pilates, go together? Well, if you exercise more, maybe you can sneak a few extra bites of your favorite treat!
Our friend and fellow female business owner, Johnna Carreno Green supports us at Scrumptious!  And for that we thank her!!!  Johnna is a Pilates Instructor who teaches at her own studio in Belmont Heights, as well as being an instructor with Stroller Strides of Long Beach, she is a mom of a beautiful little girl, and an exercise queen herself!

   I have learned quite a bit about Pilates from Johnna over the last few days.  Including trying out her Semi-Private Cardio Reformer Class.  It was AWESOME, I felt great afterward!  I held myself a little taller all day!  Johnna offers Private and Semi-Private classes as well as the Cardio Reformer class.  
What's even better is that childcare is included in the cost of your class!  Johnna says, "After becoming a mom in early 2010, I have a new found respect for the demands of balancing motherhood and a healthy lifestyle. Because of this childcare will be provided during your session (additional $5 charge for 2nd child.)"

   As a working mom myself, I have a lot of respect for other females who work to help support their family, especially those who own and run their own business!  It takes a lot of work keeping family life and business affairs in order. Which is why I relate to what Johnna says about how important it is to find a balance and stress reliever that works for you.  For me, it's Yoga and now Pilates!  I need the quiet, inner peace, and mental relaxation after a full day of 3 kids, managing my household and helping to run a baking business.
Johnna said, "After a successful run in the entertainment industry I found another passion~Pilates!  I spent years living a hectic lifestyle before I discovered that Pilates would give me the results I needed both physically and mentally.  Pilates gives me the inner peace as well as confidence in my body that I didn't have before."

   As we support each other's businesses, Johnna graciously agreed to sell our NEW Granola Bar out of her studio. It's a great healthy little snack for after a hard workout.  These bars are sweetened with honey and fruit, there is no sugar added.  That combined with crunchy salty nuts makes for a snack that you will crave!  The Granola Bar sells for $2 individually.  You can also order them in a batch and get 9 bars for $17.

The Scrumptious Sampler Box

Cupcake Sampler Box from March

Every month Scrumptious offers a "Sampler Box" which allows our clients and friends to try a variety of our Scrumptious items.  This way if there is something that you have not ordered before you can "sample" it to know which item/s you would like to order again.
Our Sampler Boxes are offered at the low price of $20-$25 depending on the amount of pieces and selections in the box.  We try to choose 3-4 different items and you will receive 2-3 pieces of each item in your box.  Sometimes we base the Sampler Box around a theme or a holiday, should one fall in this specific month.
The picture here is a special Cupcake Sampler from the month of March, where we featured some specialty flavored cupcakes. If you haven't tried our Injected Cupcakes, here are a few to tempt you!
The Pure Vanilla and Chocolate Suede are always on our menu. However, based around St. Patrick's Day, we did a Baileys Infused Chocolate Latte Cupcake rolled in Chocolate covered Espresso Beans. Also green, was our Key Lime Pie Cupcake, made with fresh squeezed key limes, key lime butter cream frosting and sprinkled with graham cracker crumbs. We then had some more fun with the ~Intoxicated~ specialty flavors and did a Limon Cello infused cupcake with lemon butter cream frosting topped with a sugared lemon candy.  Lastly, an homage to Girl Scouts everywhere, being at the height of Girl Scout Cookie Season, we did a "Samoa" Cupcake injected with Coconut cream and topped with our favorite Girl Scout cookie.

Very Berry Muffin

This month our Sampler Box is a Scrumptious Breakfast treat!  In April we came out with our Spring/Summer Menu, featuring NEW items in each of our baked goods categories as well as a whole new breakfast item; Scones!  We incorporate organic fruits and fresh flavors that are at the peak of the season during this time of year.  So, each item in this month's Sampler Box is a BRAND NEW item! They are: Lemon Poppy seed Muffin~a fluffy, lemon zesty muffin with the ever popular poppy seed, Banana Nut Crunch Muffin~a sweet banana muffin with walnuts and coconut topped with a cinnamon sugar crust, Granola Bar~a multi nut crunchy bar sweetened with honey and fruit, and Double Chocolate Chip Scone~the classic buttery scone with dark chocolate Cacao cocoa powder and chocolate chips.  You will get to sample all of these for only $20 this month!  But reserve yours now, pick-ups of your Sampler Box are this Tuesday 6/21 from 7 a.m.-1 p.m.  Grab your Sampler Breakfast Box on the way to the office for your meeting or before your play date to share with friends.  Don't forget the coffee, and you'll have a Scrumptious morning!
