A Promise will be Kept to You!

Why the Newsletter Hiatus?

You may have noticed that our normally prompt newsletter has been on a little hiatus recently. You might even be wondering why. Or you may have been too busy drooling over all of the new delicious cakes that you haven't even noticed. ;) Well, let me explain why. But, before I do, let's just have a brief overview of our company:

Cake Devils consists of Cake Devil Stacy and Cake Devil Erica... that's it. No one else. Just the two of us to bake, decorate and deliver all these cakes. Not to mention, keep stocked with ingredients and supplies, take orders, write contracts, keep reporting, etc. Oh yes, I also maintain our website and social media. So, yes, we are busy little Devils. No complaints about that at all.

What caused the pause in our newsletter was actually growth. This was a great problem. Our Newsletter list grew too long to send out our blasts the way we had been and we hit a road block. Being just two people, we just did not have the time to resolve it as quickly as we would have liked. But it is resolved now and we will resume our newsletters! Sweet! :D

Earn Your Free Cake!

In our last newsletter, we teased you with a referral program coming this summer! Well... it's almost here! We made you a promise, and we're just about ready to launch the program! Sit tight... more details coming VERY soon!

April Newsletter and How You'll be Able to Earn Free Cake!

Happy Friday Evening!
Cake Devils here! Busy Cake Devils, up to our ears in cake! In case you couldn't tell from the tardiness of our April Newsletter. Since we're late, we'll keep this short and sweet... like us! :D

March was a busy, busy month full of hustle and bustle with orders, tastings, shows and everyday business. The last minute weather postponement of the Suffern Crowne Plaza Bridal Show gave us two shows just two days apart. We had the Bethel Woods Bridal Expo only two day after the snow date. The excitement of the brides and other guests was infectious... or maybe that was the sugar high from our cake samples. ;) In any case, both venues are absolutely beautiful and in very different ways. We highly recommend checking them both out for your special events. If you book the Crowne Plaza, you'll already be heading in our direction for a cake and if you go with Bethel Woods, don't forget to call us for your beautiful centerpiece of a cake as well!

And now for some BIG news that we're very excited to share with you! We're gearing up to launch a Referral program where you'll be able to earn credit towards cake!! You'll earn a small percentage of every order you send our way. You can hold onto those credits if you want... Send us enough referral and maybe you'll earn yourself a free cake! You never know! Stay tuned for details. We'll be launching this summer!
Before we sign off, we just want to briefly mention our recent travels to the National Capital Area Cake Show where we took home not one, but two blue ribbons... but more on that in our next newsletter! Or if you just can't wait, take some time to browse our Meet the Devils page and our News & Accomplishments page. I've been doing some updating!

Thank you for all your continued support. We look forward to making your next big cake! Now, we must get back in the kitchen...
Have a wonderful weekend!

Sweet Regards,
Stacy & Erica

We can't believe it's February already! According to groundhogs Chuck and Phil, Spring is coming early this year! That makes us happy little Devils, because you know we love the warm toasty oven... we can't take the cold!
We have been preparing for some upcoming events which we cannot wait to tell you all about. We have also been spending time on some special projects and are working our tails off to make some big changes that will help grow our business. Our goal for 2013 is to spread the word about Cake Devils and obtain new customers. Have you enjoyed our cake, either for it's delicious taste, it's artistic beauty or better yet, for both? Then please, tell a friend. We can't tell you how much we appreciate your word of mouth business! Stay tuned for a couple of exciting projects coming to your inbox soon! One project will hopefully help to kick start our business and the other will give you the opportunity to earn free cake! Yes, you heard that right... free cake!! We've got you on the edge of your seat now, don't we? :D Thank you again to Sammi of Sammi's Blog of Life for sharing her feedback of Cake Devils with her readers.

And of course, for fun...we wanted to share some of our recent cakes with you!

Holiday 2012

Really?? The holidays are here already??? Where does the time go?
Wow! It's been a whirlwind for the Cake Devils!!! We've been BUSY Little Devils!!! We have lots to be thankful for and lots to share with you. We'll try to keep this short and sweet, but it's not going to be easy! This Holiday Newsletter is jam packed!!!

First we want to talk about the Orange County Partnership Annual Event which took place at Anthony's Pier 9 the beginning of this month. What an amazing opportunity that was for us! We would like to extend a great big THANK YOU to everyone at the Partnership for the fantastic opportunity. We are so proud of the amazing replica of the Mediacom building that we made as the centerpiece for this incredible, almost 600 person event! We also want to extend great thanks to Mediacom for getting us the photos and blueprints of the building which allowed us to create the building to scale. In addition, we have to thank Ryerson Studio for the YouTube video of the model they created, which we watched thousands of times while constructing our replica! (Check out Mike DelPriore's video here.) This, by far, was our largest (and most intense) project yet! On the night of the event, everything went off without a hitch. We successfully delivered the Mediacom building (that was too big to fit through a door), a ton of cake, 32 pounds of sauces and 10 pounds of sugar shards. We had a fantastic evening, met some AMAZING and INCREDIBLE people, and watched with glee as almost 600 people enjoyed our Devils Food Cake with Chocolate Butter Cream, Pumpkin Spice Cake with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Icing and Baileys Irish Cream Cake with Baileys Buttercream. We're still ecstatic from the rave reviews! :D

Congratulations once again to Mediacom on winning the Golden Shovel Award!

As we came down from that sugar high, quite a few days were filled with spicy Gingerbread, rather than cake, especially for Cake Devil Stacy! As you may know, Cake Devil Stacy teaches Wilton Method Cake Decorating Classes at the Michaels in Ramsey. More information can be found here. In preparation for teaching a gingerbread house class, I created an entire gingerbread village and did a gingerbread house demo at the store! This was quite a different experience from doing cakes!

Then we received an invitation (ok, request for help) from a friend who is a member of the Artists In the Park for Cake Devils to join them as mentors at The Bear Mountain Inn as they created Gingerbread Houses to be raffled off for the holiday season. The day was a lot of fun and we met some wonderful people and made some great contacts!!! The Bear Mountain Inn recently reopened after 7 years, and it's absolutely beautiful. We highly recommend checking it out! The Artists are a group of really great people and did a fantastic job!! Check out their work:

With the holidays upon us, we hope that you are all as excited as we are for this festive season. It’s our first holiday season as Cake Devils and as we look back upon this past year, we are overwhelmed with joy by all of the support that we have received. From the start we have had many opportunities to provide the service and product that we love most...delicious and exquisite cakes! All year long, we have been fortunate to help you celebrate many birthdays, showers, weddings and other joyful occasions. The feedback we have received has been uplifting and amazing and we couldn't be more appreciative. Equally exciting were the events we were able to partake in, such as the People to People fair, the Wedding Wire Networking Event, Anthony's Pier 9 bridal show, and, we’re thrilled to have become active members of the Wedding Vendors of the Hudson Valley, just to name a few. These opportunities have allowed us to share our unique products and services and have provided us the chance to meet people who have been able to help us grow and develop our business. We cannot thank you enough...and we are really excited for the plans we have in the works for the new year. We have some big changes coming and some exciting things happening! We thank you for all you have shared with us this year.

Of course, this wouldn’t be our newsletter if we didn’t share some recent cakes with you!

With so much sadness in the news recently, it's more important than ever to count our blessings and make the most of everyday. We wish you and your loved ones all a joyous and peaceful holiday season and a wonderful new year. Take the time to enjoy life. Tell your family you love them. Hug them a little tighter this year. Celebrate the good times and always make sure there’s a cake involved! :D
From our kitchen to yours, HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the people of Newtown, CT.

November 2012

Hello friends!

We hope everyone had a pleasant October and that you and your loved ones made it through Hurricane Sandy safely. Although we have had a bit of a rough week, we still managed to do a little baking for some small orders this weekend! And of course before the storm hit, we had some delicious creations that we are excited to share with you.

We wanted to take a moment to congratulate Melissa G. for winning our raffle at the Bridal Expo in September. Congratulations and enjoy your personalized cake cutting set for your upcoming wedding! If you didn't catch it mid month, please check out our contribution to the Wedding Vendors of the Hudson Valley's Website!

You'll also find some interesting information up on our blog! There's a great post about "What's in your Pumpkin Pie?" and one that we highly recommend reading about dietary restrictions.

There's new classes starting this week if you're looking to learn some cake decorating skills! You can find the information here.

We hope November brings a speedy recovery to those who suffered a loss from the storm and much to give thanks for to the rest of us. Our hearts go out to those of you who still may be without power or recovering from this hurricane. With Thanksgiving approaching, we'll be baking up lots of Triple Chocolate Pumpkin Cheesecakes, Pumpkin Cheesecakes, Pumpkin Pies and cakes, but we, like you, look forward to being surrounded by our friends and family and we are ever so thankful for the people in our lives and the food on our tables. We hope you all stay safe and warm in the weeks to come. If you have any special events planned, just relax...we'll do the baking. ;-)

Until next time...we'll be in the kitchen!

October 2012

Hello friends!

We hope you had crisp and delicious September, just as we did. We were busy little Devils this month; jam packed with exciting celebrations and fun events. Of course they were all adorning beautiful and delicious Cake Devil desserts! Unfortunately we had so much going on, we weren't even able to get pictures of everything up on our website and Facebook page (or Twitter or Pinterest either!) to share with you, but we will try to get them up soon. And of course, some of our favorites…

We also had some super fun events of our own to attend. We loved seeing some of your faces at the Street Fair and were so excited to meet those of you who attended the Bridal Expo. Congrats to all you brides to be out there!

We hope you have a fantastic October. Don't forget to inbox us with some of your fall flavor requests. The kitchen's been smelling so delicious and festive lately, and we'd love to make some more of your favorites. We'd also love to hear your Halloween plans...are you doing anything fun? Do you have your costume picked out? Will you be wearing Devil horns perhaps? You know we will!! ;-)
Thank you all for your continued support. We can't wait to hear from you. Until next time...we'll be in the kitchen!

September 2012

Hello friends!

Sorry this newsletter is reaching you a bit late, it’s been a rough start to September. Apparently this little Devil’s motherboard had a tiny little fire and I was sans computer! We Devil’s may like fire, but my computer did not! But I am back up and running on a shiny new computer, our files are all transferred and I owe a great deal of gratitude to a few wonderful people! Thank you!

Since we’re tardy, we’ll keep it brief and we’ll get you some new cake pictures up in the next few days too! So keep your eyes peeled! We hope you all had a delightful summer. We are sad to see the season come to an end but we are deviliciously excited for Fall. Not only do we have some exciting stuff coming up this month, and a really big announcement, but seriously, who's not ready for some fall favors?!?! Can anyone else smell the pumpkin baking?? How about some apple?? Our holiday specials will be out soon...we will keep you posted.

There were a lot of great celebrations this month, all with delicious centerpieces. They were all so fun to make, here are just a few of them....

We have already begun preparations for all of September’s festivities. We’ll be busy, busy, busy! We are also brainstorming for some new fall flavors, and we want your help. Please post on our Facebook wall, www.FaceBook.com/CakeDevils, some new flavors you would like to see! Later this month we will be sending out a poll with some of your recommendations. We can't wait to try them. :)

Stay tuned for our customer of the month! Coming in our blog shortly!

We can't wait to hear from you all with your fabulous flavors. Until next time...we'll be in the kitchen! ;-)

August 2012

Hello friends! Hopefully this finds you all delightfully enjoying your summer. It always amazes us how quickly it flies by! And you know how we Devils love the heat! :) We hope you all kicked off the month with a tasty 4th of July celebration and are having some fun in the sun.

July sure has been a month full of celebrations and surprises for the Devils. With so many parties, weddings, and birthdays, it was hard to narrow it down....but here are a few festive cakes that we chose to share with you.

Our little Devil wheels are always spinning, and we're always looking to create new flavors to excite your taste buds. After a little experimenting and a whole lot of tasting, we are excited to offer a new devilcious flavor that you may have noticed on our website recently!! This new Devilishly Delightful flavor is Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake!!! It's so sweet and delicious with the taste of a fresh baked chocolate chip cookie and the soft, moist texture of a freshly baked cake! You may wanna keep it in mind for your next special occasion, it's sinful!!

July was a busy month for us with lots of new projects brewing. We're working hard and busy planning for the upcoming months. Stay tuned to our newsletters, as we'll have some exciting news and announcements to share! Maybe we'll even have big enough news to post an in between newsletter! :)

Since we seem to always recognize a (nameless) customer in our newsletters, maybe we should have a little “Customer of the Month” section. What do you think? Check out the Blog entry right above this Newsletter for July's Customer of the Month! We love our customers!!!

We wish you all a fun filled August. There's a lot going on that we're really looking forward to. Some exciting events, and really fun cakes! We're really anxious to see what magnificent cakes are displayed at the ICES convention in Reno this weekend. Us Devils always appreciate beautiful cakes!

Till next time.....we'll be in the kitchen. ;-)

Sweet Regards,
Stacy & Erica

July is here!!! Once again we're happy to reach out to all of you and say thanks to all of our faithful cake lovers and welcome to so many new fans on our Facebook page. www.Facebook.com/CakeDevils We hope everyone had a sweet Spring and that you're all ready for summer. We'd also like to say Congratulations to Eric, the winner of our Facebook Raffle. Eric is happily munching on his oatmeal raisin cookies right now! Enjoy!!

June was a fun filled month, and also a scorcher! Makes us Devils tremendously grateful that our kitchen has great AC!! Something we were nervous about when hunting for a new kitchen space during the winter! There was so much to celebrate this month and we hope all of you Dad's and Grad's out there had a lot of tasty fun. Here are a couple cakes from some of those celebrations.

Of course many of you had other special occasions this past month that we were thrilled to provide cakes for. We even had way too much fun making a cake for a bachelor party that we will not be sharing with the public. But, if you would like to see the cake, send us an email and we'll share a picture with you. Here are some other cakes we really enjoyed creating.

Amidst all of our baking we spent a lovely evening catching up with many of our favorite fellow wedding vendors. Thank you so much to those involved for putting together such a fun evening. We hope you enjoyed your goodies and we can't wait to see you all again.

We had the opportunity to meet a couple of other local cake artists and always enjoy time with others that share our passion for cake. Speaking of other cake lovers... everyone's gearing up around the country for the biggest cake show of the year. The annual ICES convention is coming up the first weekend in August... Reno is going to be really sweet that weekend!

We hope you all have a happy 4th of July. We have great things to look forward to and we can't wait to share it all with you. Till then....we'll be at the kitchen creating some devilishly delicious new cake flavors! ;-)

Sweet Regards,
Stacy & Erica
