Time for Thanksgiving!
We’re doing things pretty much the same way we’ve done them the last few years.
We hope to be able to accept Thanksgiving orders through Sat Nov 17. If we have to close out orders before then, I will post something at the top of the website.
All orders must be picked up no later than 7pm on Weds Nov 21.
Our schedule for the week of Thanksgiving, and the list of specific items available for Thanksgiving orders, are below.
We hope you have a wonderful holiday!

You probably aren’t aware of this but standing behind our big mixer Mon through Fri from 7am to noon is someone who is INCREDIBLY gifted as an FX makeup artist specializing in horror and haunt makeup. This past Sunday afternoon, Helen Snell invited 5 of our employees to a photo shoot for her portfolio. So, to get you in the Halloween spirit, below are the AMAZING results. Anyone who can guess which of our employees are in these five photos gets a free cupcake!
Here’s what we now have on hand for the fall season:
Caramel apple cakes and cupcakes — a cupcake chock full of apple pieces, frosted with cream cheese frosted, drizzled with caramel and then sprinkled with toasted pecans. Always a crowd-pleaser in cupcake or cake form.
Pumpkin cakes and cupcakes – a pumpkin cupcake flavored with cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and a bit of orange juice, frosted with cream cheese frosting with the same spices and a bit of orange peel, then sprinkled with nutmeg. These took a while to take off but last year people FINALLY discovered them and we couldn’t keep up with the demand!
Iced pumpkin cookies – a pumpkin cookie frosted with a big dollop of vanilla frosting. A perennial favorite. As you can guess, we don’t skimp on the frosting!
Pumpkin mini-loaves – from the recipe I discovered last year. We make these plain, with toasted pecans, with mini chocolate chips, with cranberries and if we’re really feeling crazy with Mary’s cinnamon sugar crust baked on.
Spiced pumpkin muffins — NEW THIS YEAR. We think we’ve finally found a recipe that is tasty but also results in big fluffy muffins. Stop by and try one!
Pecan Pie Bars – our ooey gooey pecan pie filling on top of a buttery shortbread crust.
Ingrid’s Apple Pie Bars — my personal favorite, especially as in the way we now servie them. Because they were so messy as bars, we now cut them into pieces and place them in a plastic cup. Then we cover them with whipped cream and add a pinch of nutmeg. Heaven!
And of ourse Halloween is coming up! Love this holiday! We’ve started making Halloween decorated cookies and hope to have some always on-hand at the bakery through Halloween. Don’t forget our Halloween decorated cakes. My decorators, especially Don, have a lot of fun with this holiday!
THANKSGIVING ORDERS: On or about November 1, I’ll send out a Constant Contact email that describes what we will be offering for Thanksgiving and how to place your orders. If you’d like to be added to our Constant Contact email list, feel free to email me at jenny@jennycakesbakery.net.
Enjoy the fall!
