Graduation Season is on the way.
If you're wondering how to make your celebration special, think big.
That's right, Kneads now offers sheet cakes to make sure you've got a happy crowd.
Turbo Chocolate is always a winner, but Lemon-Marionberry and luscious Carrot Cakes are so good - you almost forget that they're not chocolate!
Of course I still make the 9" rounds in single or double layers, and I can do custom flavors if you've got your mouth set on something special.
I just love being able to tell my customers, "Yes, I have exactly what you want."
But my telepathic skills are unreliable, so everything becomes easier if you tell me your plans in advance.
Even with less than 24 hours notice, I can say "Yes" to most requests, so don't be shy about asking.
Whether you want four scones for next Wednesday's meeting, or you need a pie for tomorrow's Bunko party, just ask.
Twenty dozen Ginger Oatmeal cookies - give me a heads-up in advance and I'll have them boxed and ready to go!
I am also happy to bake items that aren't my usual fare, but would be the perfect thing for your event.
If Uncle Harry REALLY LOVES Pineapple Upsidedown cake, I'll make it for his Birthday.
Let me know your Kneads!
