It's been a snowy and EXCITING winter!

 

  It's been quite a long time, but we are checking in from a beautifully peaceful, snowy day here in Philly.  It's been quite the snowy winter.. making up for the last few we suppose!  Time has been flying by, and perhaps that's because we've been distracted by a bit of exciting news of our own.  Not only have we been keeping up with our "first baby", Cake and the Beanstalk, we've been cooking up something on the side!  We are so excited to be expecting our first real baby, our own "little pastry chef" at the end of April and can't wait to introduce them to the fantastic community of special friends we have at the bakery.  

 

We've got ICE CREAM!!!

 It's been awhile, but not only are we back, we're back with some awesome news... Cake and the Beanstalk is now serving ICE CREAM!  We are serving 4 flavors of Franklin Fountain's finest and using the ice cream to make all sorts of amazing, incredible, concoctions.
