Weekly farmers market

If you have followed any of our website updates or our Facebook status's, you should know we are at the Salem Farmers Market (www.salemnhfarmersmarket.com) every Sunday until October. I have frequented farmers markets in the past but this is the first market I have ever worked. Let me tell you, it's hard work! 

I'm sure you're thinking, how hard can it be, sitting outside, breathing in fresh air? Well a few hours worth of work actually takes awhile to prepare for. We bake everything fresh for the market the day before and we have to transport everything we make to the market along with everything else we need, like chairs, tables, tents, etc. Then setting everything up and taking it down in the summer weather takes its toll. 

Luckily, there are tons of great vendors and farms at the market where you can not only pick up your fresh fruits and vegetables but also get your lunch from the Blue Ox Food Box or cool off with some ice cold New Hampshire made soda. 

When you visit our table you can sample some of our great products. This past week our samples included lemon cake with raspberry buttercream, white chocolate raspberry with cream cheese frosting, strawberry vanilla made with our homegrown organic strawberries and chocolate zucchini cake made with homegrown organic zucchini. In addition to these great flavors, we also carry a variety of whoopie pies and cake pops. 

So come stop by and see us any Sunday. You never know what yummy goodies we might have that day! 

Cupcake decorating parties

Something new we recently launched here at Frost This Cakes are cupcake decorating parties! These parties are an easy way to keep kids entertained at a birthday party or a fun way to start girls night out or a bachelorette party.  We come to your location of event, saving you the trouble of driving anywhere. We bring everything you need, from the cupcakes and the frosting, to fondant and candy toppers. 

We start with freshly baked cupcakes, in a flavor of your choosing. We bring a variety of colored frostings in piping bags with various frosting tips, which create a plethora of different design options. We provide general guidance and direction on proper techniques, as well as one on one assistance if needed/requested. 

We provide all sorts of fun stuff to top off your cupcake: sugar sprinkles in a variety of colors, m&m's, Reese's pieces, Reese's peanut butter cups, mini snickers, candy eyeballs, and more. We also have fondant toppers, made by you! We provide a variety of colors of fondant as well as the fondant tools needed. You will be able to make large and small flowers, butterflies, stars and other small toppers for your cupcake.  The rest is up to you. With creativity and a fun imagination, anything is possible!

The parties are fun for anyone of all ages. If you have any questions in this, feel free to ask!
