Summer Cakes

It's been a little while since we've blogged, but we've been up to our elbows in batter and icing at Cake and the Beanstalk.  We have lots of AWESOME cakes to share, so without further adieu...

1 year of Beanstalking in the Books

What a year it has been! Here we are, a little over 12 months since bringing Cake and the Beanstalk into existence at 1112 Locust St.  Thanks to our loyal group of regulars and many other terrific customers, we finished the year with our busiest month (February) in the shortest amount of days (29).  Since opening last March, the Stalk has added a wide variety of  treats to please the masses.  We now offer soup, paninis, and grilled cheese to go along with the many delicious pastries.

We're proud to host diverse events such as Story Time at the Stalk (target age range 4-7), Open Mic at the Stalk (for performers of all kinds), and art receptions (for our always changing green room walls).

Thank you to everybody who has supported us in our 1st year and we look forward to seeing you in the coming year.  Please don't hesitate to let us know if there's something you'd like to see at the Stalk, whether it's food, drink, an event . . . or anything else you want us to know!

And, of course... a few favorite cakes!
