We do open up on random days - in between Holly's Pawsitive Pet Massage's schedule, watch the page for updates, or message/call before heading over this way to make sure we are around!! Please give at least 1-week's notice for ordering birthday cakes - as they take time to bake & decorate: Please look at the photographs of the ca

I just wanted to jump on here & update, while I am in between rolling out flavors 😊

I have been in the kitchen 94% of my time this week. I had a few dog-massages on Monday & Tuesday plus some cakes (that I did not get pictures of). I did a memorial wood engraving that I will share in a few days. BUT, for the most part I have been baking baking baking! Sean bagged up 5 tubs of treats tonight & will do more tomorrow
Why the baking craze? The girls & I will be out & about the next 2-weekends!

Saturday June 6th The camper will be parked on Main St in Clarion for Clarion Summer Fest - right infront of our amazing host business Blended Nutrition !

Then Next weekend the Shop in Hawthorn will be closed - we will be in Marienville for The Bigfoot Festival (information can be found at this link -
New Forest Co. Bigfoot Festival Page ).
We don't know where we will be parked - I'll let everyone know when we find out upon arrival in Marrienville Friday June 12... Festival runs June 12-14

I hope you can make it out to one - or both- of these amazing events. They are usually a blast & happen regardless of weather

Also, don't forget that we are selling tickets for a custom cake of your pup's dreams - up to a $150 value to benefit Mending Hope Equine Rescue located in Fairmount City, PA (just over the hill & back the road). Each chance is $5 & goes 100% to help the horses! Drawing will be announced when all the tickets are sold!

Some cakes are just doomed from the beginning!
How many times would you remake/redecorate a cake before "calling it"?

This cake was remade FIVE times...(last week all the cakes cracked for some reason, but this one was cracking bad!) The longer it dried the more it cracked & it faded too; but, I finally got it - I had to use a different icing recipe...
Got it in the 'mail' on Wednesday- UPS 2 day shipping but the estimated delivery was the next day the 28th.
Apparently UPS decided it needed to go on the ground tour of Southern/Central PA because it STILL hasn't been delivered to the upper Eastern corner of PA.

Money has been refunded to the customer :( again, Karen Doxies, I am truly sorry !
