A LITTLE BIT OF HOUSEKEEPING…

~ With the end of spring and beginning of summer brings a full calendar for all of us. Here at the bakery, our wedding & event calendar is either at or near capacity each weekend this summer.  While being busy is good for business, it means our availability for custom orders decreases.  Effective mid-May, we are requiring at least a 2-week lead time for all custom orders.  With that being said, once we reach capacity for any given date, we may have to decline your order.

We’ve often been able to squeeze in last minute orders, however mostly likely we will not be able to accommodate requests outside of our new ordering guidelines.  We will continue to offer extra goodies for walk in purchases when the bakery is open and our weekly a la carte menu [which is moving to Thursdays!]

~ Our hours are changing for the summer! We’ll be open for pick ups on Thursdays from 2-6 pm and Fridays from 10-4 pm. Our weekly capacity will be posted and updated on our website.  Just click on the NEWS page. 

~ Due to the unpredictable increases in food costs, we are currently only able to quote pricing for the current month. Please know that if and when we have to increase our prices, it’s only because we truly have to cover raw product increases on our end.

~ With all the busy-ness in the kitchen comes less time at our desk! This means email messages and voicemails cannot always be returned within a couple days.  Please allow 4-5 business days to hear back from us prior to calling or emailing again.  We will do our best to get back to you sooner but thank you for your patience. 

Thank you, thank you and THANK YOU for allowing us to be a sweet part of your lives for the past 15 years.  We appreciate your business and support of our little bakery. 

Cheers. 

Curt, Jen & The Bettersweet Team

On to the sweets!
Please note, the following Mother’s Day menu items will be available ONLY on Saturday 5/9.

Signature cakes!  A special for this menu only, we’re offering some of our signature cakes in a 6” single layer version [8″ tall is typically the smallest size you can order signature cakes in.  Perfect for a gift or small gathering, each cake will serve 3-4 guests].

~ Razmon Delight:  our newest signature cake starts with a raspberry vanilla batter, is filled with mascarpone lemon creme and finished with a touch of raspberry infused cream cheese frosting.  $17.   

~ Strawberry Margaretta: to our strawberry cake batter we add margarita mix,  fill the cake with a lime curd champagne creme and finish off this creation with a pale green vanilla bean butter and a dusting of flaked sea salt.  [All ingredients in this cake are non-alcoholic].  $17.

~ A Pie from Boston: classic vanilla cake is generously filled with a cooked vanilla custard and ‘frosted’ with a sweet chocolate ganache.  $17.

Chocolate Blackberry Lavender: this is a new creation just in time for some sunny spring weather!  Dark chocolate cupcakes are filled with blackberry compote creme filling and then frosted in the prettiest shade of lavender buttercream frosting- which has been infused with both lavender flowers & blackberry preserves.  This combination is so lovely and so unique!  4 regular size cupcakes, gift boxed, $13.

Hummingbird:  if you’re familiar with the iconic hummingbird cake flavors; banana, pineapple, cinnamon & pecans, you’ll be pretty excited to try our version, topped with edible wafer butterflies! 4 regular size cupcakes, gift boxed, $13.

~ Strawberry Rhubarb (only available in the boxes of 12)

•Box of 6 macarons- $12.50 (two each of lemon, white chocolate, and orange cream)

Lemon Sandwich Cookies:  These little gems have been a favorite for almost 14 years here at the bakery.  We traditionally only let them out at Christmas time but after their standing ovation on our Easter menu, here we go again.  Two lemon shortbread cookies are sandwiched with a zesty lemon creme filling and finished with a candied lemon piece. Refreshing and addicting.  $10, 1 generous baker’s dozen box.  

Abe’s Cake Slice:  prepare yourselves for someone new cutting and filling cakes!  We’ll keep him on single layer cakes to start.  🙂  Vanilla bean cake, lemon curd creme filling & cream cheese frosting.  Simple spring colored sprinkles on top of each piece. $3 per slice.
