mmc bakes concordia eggstravaganza 2016 chula vista On March 12, I had the wonderful opportunity to share some of my baked goods at the Easter EGGstravaganza community event held at Concordia Church & School in Chula Vista.  I had a dessert table with a few cakes that I donated to the event’s raffle, and also showcased my friend, Shing Bakes, beautiful custom cookies.  My favorite part of this event was meeting plenty of folks from the local community while promoting my business.  I was in my element at this event, and it took me back to my college days when I had a part-time job of promoting brands from beauty products, to cars, and everything in between.  In this era of impersonal social media, there’s nothing better to me than to have good old-fashioned in-person conversations!  The 200+ samples of mini Easter cupcakes and chocolate-covered pretzels I brought were gone within the first hour!  What a SUCCESS!  A BIG THANK YOU to Concordia Church & School for an awesome, very organized event!  My kids had fun checking out other local businesses, getting freebies, and Easter egg hunting!  I hope to do this again next year, and I promise to bring a bunch more freebies!

If you’re interested in getting a cake quote from me:, simply e-mail MMCbakes@MightyMeCreative.com and you MUST include the following: 1) Date of your event.  Please include the Occasion type, so I can tailor decorating. ADVANCED NOTICE REQUIRED:  I prefer at least 2 weeks notice for custom cakes. 2) Budget: Do you have a dollar amount you need to stick to?  This is very important so I can provide options & recommendations to give you as much cake/design to fit your budget and the number of servings you need. 3) Cake Quotes, please include:
  • A) Number of people you are serving.  I use the Wilton Cake Serving chart standard to determine number of servings & base price.

  • C) Include the details of the design, such as shape, number of tiers, cake toppers, etc. Please include as much detail as needed for an accurate quote.  If you have photo examples, that will be a huge help!

Teen Titans GO Cake

This weekend I had the pleasure of making this two-tiered “Teen Titans GO!” first birthday cake.  It was certainly a labor of love starting from online research into finding the right images I can use for inspiration, to custom making a ton of different fondant colors, and painstakingly cutting the fondant shapes to create each face.  The bottom tier is an 8″ square with about 20 servings, and it has the characters: Cyborg, Raven, StarFire & Beast Boy.  The top tier is a 6″ round with 12 servings, and it’s topped with a handmade #1, and a Robin toy figure provided by the client.  This beautiful cake was a marbled chocolate and vanilla cake with Oreo filling, accompanied by a 4″ smash cake, that I was told was enjoyed very much by Logan!  The client provided me with a couple of photos along with some kind feedback, which I appreciate very much!  As you will see in one of the photos, the client created a large cityscape background for the cake that looked pretty awesome!  Happy 1st Birthday, Logan!  Thanks for making me part of your milestone!
