New HB Website!

New Website

September 2008

The Honeybee Bakeshop has a new website! View goodies and bakeshop updates at:

www.HoneybeeBakeshop.net

(*Please note the "Dot Net" extension)

Now you can view cakes and cookies free of my ramblings and anecdotes (Hooray!). The blog will continue, but we will maintain a distinction between product info (on the website) and the stories/photos/ramblings.

A huge thank you to Erin, our fabulous webmaster, who did great work on the set-up and graphics.

Happy Reading.

DC's 1st Annual Cupcake Contest

Honeybee Bakeshop Invites you to DC's 1st Annual Cupcake Contest

September 2008

Cupcakeries seem to be popping up all over DC and Jenni from Blonde's I-View is organizing DC's 1st Annual Cupcake Contest this week so people can taste what's new around the city. It is this Thursday night at The Washington Club. Aside from DC-area bakers (amateur and professional), there is a category for Out-of-Town bakeshops to show us their stuff. So expect a lot of creative and yummy confections!

I'll be competeing in the amateur category for the Honeybee Bakeshop, so come on by and enjoy a few samples. The HB will also have a new website later this week, but more on that later...

When: Thursday, September 25th

6:30 - 8:30 pm

Where: The Washington Club - 15 Dupont Circle

It is my understanding that there will be no admission fee. Free cupcakes for everyone!

Threadless <3's Cake

Threadless (hearts) Cake

September 2008

If I didn't spend so much time making cakes and cookies I think I would learn some kind of graphics program and make t-shirts for Threadless. I love the creativity and humor of these artists. Tons of people submit ideas each week and the people at Threadless pick a bunch (after reader voting) to be printed and sold.

I was very excited to find this site dedicated to cakes that were inspired by Threadless t-shirts. ThreadCAKES was a contest in 2007, but the gallery is still up for all to see and enjoy.

And if YOU also like both t-shirts and cake... you should buy this one: "Cake is Awesome!" Shirt
