Random Acts of Yummy

Yummy Custom Cakes & Treats are so excited to announce the launch of a great new program that has been created to help make the world a sweeter, kinder place to live.

Staying in line with our dedication to compassion, kindness and social consciousness - RANDOM ACTS OF YUMMY is a way to 'Pay-It-Forward'. It is a way to acknowledge the good deeds of a co-worker, friend or a complete stranger. It is a way to brighten someone else's day 'just because' - just because it is a nice thing to do for another person or because that person once brightened your day.

We encourage our friends to recognise the kindness and compassion of those in their own spheres of influence and start a chain reaction of kindness.

How It Works:

RANDOM ACTS OF YUMMY are a 6 or 12 pack of cupcakes or a 6" decorated cake.
They are delivered every Wednesday at no charge. Each box of kindness has its own label describing RANDOM ACTS OF YUMMY and goes a little like this...

"Dear Fine Person, _________________________
You’ve just received a RANDOM ACT OF YUMMY. This means you’ve done something good, are exceptionally nice, and/or are just an all around awesome person. Regardless, we hope these cupcakes brighten your day & inspire you to pay it forward and brighten someone else’s day. (with a RANDOM OF ACT OF YUMMY, perhaps?)
Sincerely,
Yummy Custom Cakes & Treats
& ______________________________________ "

RANDOM ACTS OF YUMMY must be ordered by Monday at 12:00 noon for delivery on Wednesday. All orders must be paid in full by Tuesday at 12:00 noon for delivery on Wednesday. We handle all payments through PayPal online.

RANDOM ACTS OF YUMMY flavours will be decided week-to-week and announced via Facebook and Twitter by Yummy Custom Cakes & Treats.

Please join us to help make the world a kinder, sweeter place to live by giving your own RANDOM ACT OF YUMMY.

OMG Brownie Bites

Another new addition to our Treats family - OMG Brownie Bites! Oh My Goodness - Oh My God - Oh My Golly - Oh my Gosh - Brownie Bites. You know the kind we are talking about, right? You can buy similar brownie bites at any large grocery chain, but those brownie bites sit on shelves for ages and are mass produced. Imagine what kind of chemicals are put in them to ensure they stay soft and preserved. Blech!

Yummy Custom Cakes & Treats is now offering OMG Brownie Bites! in our Treats family. These brownie bites are slightly crispy on the outside with chocolaty, gooey goodness on the inside.

Ya. Oh. My. God/Goodness/Golly/Gosh.

That is Yummy!

Thin Lizzies

We are very happy to introduce the newest member of the Yummy family. Thin Lizzies!

Named after the iconic rockers from Ireland, Thin Lizzies are beautiful thin, crispy chocolate mint cookies with a slightly chewy center. The top is coated with mint milk chocolate. Oh ya. That's right.

These beautiful little sweets would be an incredible addition to your dessert buffet, dontcha think?

One Cake at a Time

If you go down to the woods today - You're sure of a big surprise!

This cake was SO fun - SO sweet - SO awesome!

The occasion was a birthday for twin girls and the theme was Teddy Bear picnic. I think the cake explains it all...

Rainbow cake was the yumminess on the inside and all the details were done in fondant and modelling chocolate.

Hearts Desire...on a timeline

Nothing makes us happier then when we can help out a new friend with a last minute order. Even better...a last minute wedding cake order! Typically we require at least one month notice on wedding orders due because the prep work is a bit more intricate. (fondant covered boards vs. paper sealed covered boards, for one...) however, we received an email from a wonderful bride-to-be requesting we make her wedding cake. By the time we had all details figured out it was only about 10 days away. The design was simple yet beautiful. All white with white chocolate hand drawn hearts. It was trimmed off with black ribbon around the base and board. Great cake. Great couple. Great outcome.

Dessert Buffets Are Here! And they are Fabulous!

We must admit that sometimes new trends are a bit hard to swallow - and in our industry that is saying a lot! However, we are super-duper-uber-excited about the trend of dessert buffets that are starting to gain momentum. These delicious spreads of delights and decor (say that 5 times fast) are not only perfect for weddings, but also birthday celebrations, bridal showers, baby showers, baptisms - basically any kind of gathering where a great spread of food is expected to be consumed. And lets be honest, there is much more excitement to be had about chocolate and buttercream than pickles and cheese. Seriously.

The premise behind the dessert buffet is to combine tantalizing flavours with beautiful decor. To take the palette of the mouth and to capture the deliciousness of the display with the eye. A win-win combination!

Yummy Custom Cakes & Treats will work with you to design a delicious spread to compliment your event decor and ensure Yummy memories are made.
