5 Reasons You’ll Love our Store Cakes

Store cakes are our weekly cakes that are pre-made, already decorated & ready to-go daily.
Forget a birthday?! Get invited to a last minute celebration?! Need a cake for an office party?! Just craving a slice of cake?!
We’ve got you covered. These cakes are perfect for you- here’s why…

1. They’re Ready-to-go

Store cakes are ready-to-go! While we often need at least two weeks notice (sometimes more) for custom cake orders, store cakes are ready-to-go without notice! They’re perfect for any occasion that you may have forgotten or decided to celebrate last minute.

We have store cakes every day, but do sellout at times.  We make new store cakes throughout the week, as needed. If you’ve contacted us for a custom order, but we were booked for your date, ordering a store cake is a great option for you.

2. Baker’s Choice Flavors

Store cake flavors are baker’s choice each week, which means we have a variety of flavors.

We typically start with some of our best selling classics, like vanilla, birthday cake, chocolate or red velvet. Then, we add other yummy options, for example, Oreo birthday cake, Reese’s peanut butter, chocolate raspberry & others, that vary week to week.

3. New Designs Each Week

Designs are decorator’s choice, which means our decorating team has the chance to have fun with each cake. Some will be true to flavor, others decorated seasonally & others might have buttercream flower decorations.

We try to make sure there are options that can be fitting for a variety of occasions. From birthdays to graduations & bridal showers to cooperate gatherings, we have designs for you each week.

4. Easy Online Ordering

The easiest way to reserve a store cake in advance, is to visit our online shop. We have a photo of each & every store cakes for you to see. If you click on the photo, it also tells you the size, flavor & date that the cake is best served by.

We recommend checking out the online store before the day you need the cake. You will be able to reserve the cake for pickup on the date of your choice.  We will add cakes as needed throughout the week, but we always have the most design variety on Wednesday afternoons or Thursday mornings.

Of course, you can also stop in during our open store hours to see our store cake selection in person!

5. Make It Your Own!

While the flavor & design of a store cake is already decided, you can still make it your own!

We offer birthday & graduation cake toppers that can be added on or you can have us write a message on the cake board.

We also have a festive selection of other themed toppers & candles for you to choose from. They’re all out on display in the bakery or you can also. view them in our online shop!

Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day is always a challenge.  You want to give something original, but you also want to make sure it’s a hit.  You need a gift that’s classy, but fun.  Something thoughtful, but not too heavy.  You’re in luck, we’ve got just the thing.

Saying, “I Love You,” is sweet.  Saying it with Cookies, Cupcakes, or Cake Pops is even better!  The best Valentines are the kind you can eat.  They’re tasty and tasteful.  So here are some ideas to make this year’s perfect Valentine’s Day gift the best ever.

1. Deciding on the Perfect Gift 

The look of panic is unmistakable.  It’s written all over your face.  You forgot all about Valentine’s Day and you need a gift right now! 

We see it every year and, although we’ll always be here for you in those last minute crises, why not make this the year to plan ahead? Think about it, your Valentine gets a perfect treat AND you have a stress free day.

Our selection varies from cupcakes and cake pops to custom Valentine’s cakes and cookies to pre-made dessert platters! 

Dessert platters are new this year and definitely a hit! We offer three different sizes, making them perfect for any size crowd. Platters include a selection of treats from cookies, chocolate dipped pretzel and Oreos, brownie bites and Rice Krispie treats!

2. Order in Advance 

OK, so now you need to get your plan in motion. The best way to ensure that you get exactly what you want, is to place a gift order in advance. It’s never too early to place an order, so head to our Order Form to send us your ideas!

We offer customized cookies, cakes, cupcakes, cake pops and brownies as well as chocolate dipped pretzels and Oreos. You can order a variety of these items in a matching theme, select custom writing to personalize it, or just leave it up to us to surprise you with a gift package.

Our new Valentine’s Day dessert platters and gift boxes can also be ordered in advance or reserved from our current in-store selection! Dessert platters can even be ordered online– doesn’t get any easier than that!

Regardless of what you order, the most important thing is to place your order.  Remember, we’re going for stress-free gift giving this year.

3. Request Delivery 

Alright, now that you’re going to order that awesome surprise in advance, why not have it delivered?  Delivery is great, because you get cool gift points and impress the friends/co-workers points. 

The only thing that makes a perfect Valentine’s Day gift more perfect is having it sit on the desk all day, so that everyone who sees it says how cool it is.

Besides, ordering in advance with delivery ensures that you won’t forget.  And we know how busy life is.  Who couldn’t use a little forgetfulness insurance?

We use a courier service who will deliver treats just about anywhere. We can deliver locally to homes, offices, schools, hospitals and just about anywhere you need in Greater Cincinnati or Northern Kentucky!

4. Stop in on Valentine’s Day

Finally, if you just aren’t a plan-ahead kind of person you can still just stop into one of our two local locations on Valentine’s Day.  We’ll have a selection of freshly-baked goodies for you “spontaneous” types.

All walk-in items are first-come first-served, so we suggest coming in as early as you can for the best selection.  Believe it or not, you won’t be the only one looking for that last-minute score on the big day.

Call in to reserve items from the store by paying for them in advance. We’ll set them aside and have them ready for pickup when you get there!

Check out our website for more perfect Valentine’s Day gift ideas and photo galleries. You can always submit your ideas to us under the Order Now tab or give us a call at (513) 984-1100.

5 Reasons to Love Cupcakes

When we started in the cupcake business, they were an up and coming new “trend.” We had customers ask if we thought the trend would end soon, and here we are over 8 years later, still making tons of cupcakes. 

Why are cupcakes still so loved you ask?! Here’s what I think…

 1. Endless Flavor Options

Cupcakes are incredibly versatile and offer nearly endless options. Did you know that we offer over 100 flavors of cupcakes?! Each day, we have a selection of 8 cupcake flavors in store and you can always order the other flavors in advance.

One of my favorite things about cupcakes is creating new flavors. Inspiration can be found in other desserts, candies, ice creams, and all kinds of other foods.

From Chocolate Chip Cheesecake and Peanut Butter Mudslide to Golden Oreo Sundae and Triple Berry Shortbread, we are always coming up with new creations.

With so many flavor possibilities, there’s sure to be an option you’ll love!

2. Perfect for Any Occasion 

Cupcakes can be dressed up or dressed down for any event or occasion.

We create everything from wedding cupcake displays sprinkled with classy pearls and metallics to corporate event cupcakes topped with company logo toppers, and everything in between. 

Other events include holidays, rehearsal dinners, graduation, baby showers, wedding showers, baptisms, and of course, birthdays! 

Cupcakes are convenient for groups of all ages because they are individually portioned, easy to customize and can be casually enjoyed in any setting. 

3. Convenience

Cupcakes are available every day! You can conveniently order them on shorter notice than our other items. We bake our cupcakes fresh each morning and can sometimes prepare simple orders in just a few days.

In addition to choosing from our daily in-store selection, we also bring the cupcakes right to you with local delivery. 

Delivery offers the perfect opportunity to send cupcakes as client gifts, birthday treats to kids away at college or any other special occasion.

If you need a specific flavor or design, you can also place a special order through our Order Inquiry Form, over the phone or in store. Talk about convenience!

4. Gifts & Favors  

Cupcakes make excellent gifts for the people who take care of you and those you love.  Try giving them to teachers, doctors and nurses, family members and friends, employees and co-workers.  Trust me, the smiles are worth it.

We deliver cupcakes to homes, hotels, businesses, schools and hospitals as thank you or welcome gifts.

So, whether you custom design cupcakes or choose to box up a selection of our delicious daily menu flavors, they’re a great way to make someone’s day!

You can also use individually packaged cupcakes as party favors!  Talk about a sweet takeaway gift for a wedding, business conference, or birthday party!

Need gluten free cupcakes?  No problem we make those too in many of our flavors. This makes it easy to accommodate those with allergies!

5. DIY Cupcake Sundae Bar

Want to decorate cupcakes without the hassle of mixing up ingredients?  Cupcake Sundae Bars are perfect for a DIY birthday party activity, corporate event activity, or just a fun way to spend the afternoon with friends. 

We’ll provide freshly baked cupcakes, piping bags of icing and sprinkles.  All you have to do is decorate!

We offer in-store party options for guests to decorate their own cupcakes, or you can pickup a Sundae Bar to go.  Save a lot of time and mess by having all the preparation done for you.

Another option is on site cupcake decorating with corporate offices.  In the past, we’ve setup a decorating area so that each employee gets one cupcake to keep and one to donate to an awesome organization, like Ronald McDonald house. It’s a great way to enhance your company culture and help the community at the same time.

Flying Pig Marathon

The Flying Pig Marathon is one of our favorite events of the year!  That’s why 3 Sweet Girls Cakery is the official bakery sponsor of the Flying Pig!  As the bakery sponsor, we get to be a part of the festivities, see the event from behind the scenes, and share our Flying Pig treats all weekend long. 

In this article, we’re going to share a little bit about the Flying Pig Marathon and then give you a peek at the process of making our trademarked Flying Pig Cake Pops.

What is the Flying Pig Marathon?!

The Flying Pig is more than just a marathon. It includes challenging half-marathon, 10k and 5k courses through the streets of Cincinnati as well!

The weekend kicks off with the P&G Heath and Fitness Expo at Duke Energy Convention Center on Friday May 3 and Saturday May 4th.  That’s where runners pickup their race packets and pound a few Flying Pig cake pops, cookies, brownies and other treats for before the race (carb loading, anyone?)!

Race participants come from all over the world to be a part of the Flying Pig! We love having the opportunity to meet them and feel the race excitement at the Expo.

Sunday, we run!  And eat.  And party.  In fact, there’s so much happening on race day, that we couldn’t begin to list it all here.  That’s why you should visit the official Flying Pig Website where you can even download the official Flying Pig Event App.

How do you make Flying Pig Cake Pops?

This is the question people ask the most, so here you go.

To make Flying Pig cake pops, start with freshly baked vanilla cake and buttercream. Crumble the cake and mix it with the buttercream until it reaches the perfect consistency.  Then, roll them into the “pig” shape (sort of like a stubby little sausage).

Next, add candy “legs” and “ears” to the cake bodies.  Once they are assembled, add a stick for holding and dip them into pink chocolate.

After the chocolate has time to set, you can add the details!  Fondant wings, and hand piped noses, eyes, and of course a curly tail.

We work in an assembly line when Flying Pig season rolls around so that we can make the pops as efficiently as possible. There are lots of details involved and we make thousands for race weekend!

We love that they are all hand crafted and no two pigs are exactly alike!

So, where can you get Flying Pig treats?!

The best place to get these little beauties is the Expo along with lots of other Flying pig themed goodies.

If you won’t be attending the Expo but still want Flying Pig treats, you can always special order some or stop into one of our two retail locations between now and race day!

Use our Order Inquiry Form to get the ball rolling on your special order.  Once you have submitted the form, please give us a call to follow up at 513-984-1100.

You can also give us a call first, or email us and we are always happy to chat!

We look forward to the Flying Pig Marathon all year and we’re honored to be the Official Bakery Sponsor.  See you at the race!

Calling all 2019 Grads

Calling all 2019 graduates! Now is the time to place orders for your graduation party dessert display!

Here’s everything you need to know about graduation dessert table options, how to order, and when to get your order in!

Graduation Dessert Tables

Graduation dessert tables are definitely our most popular option for graduation parties. Not only are they perfect for the more casual setting of an “open house,” but they also allow for the most customization and ability to incorporate the graduate’s personality.

One of our favorite aspects of a dessert table is the opportunity to have a variety of bite size treats. This means there’s an option everyone likes and you don’t necessarily have to offer a large dessert item per person, which makes it more budget-friendly as well.

We typically recommend about two bite size items or one larger item per guest. Larger items would be a full size cake pop, slice of cake, cookie or cupcake. Smaller items would be half size cake pops, mini cupcakes, brownie bites, and bite size cookies, as well as chocolate dipped pretzels and Oreos. It’s always up to you to choose what you think is best for your guests!

What are some dessert table options?!

Cupcakes

We offer regular size and mini cupcakes in over 100 flavors. They can be customized with sprinkles to coordinate with school colors, be topped with a logo topper, or simply have toppings specific to the delicious flavors you choose.

Cake pops

Cake pops are the highlight of any dessert table. They come in any of our menu flavors and have so much decorating potential. We can dip them in school colors, sprinkle the with accent colors, or even add a grad cap to the top.

Arrangements of cake pops are a way to add height to a dessert table display! We can also make them with a flat bottom to easily set on platters.

Cookies

We offer cookies in a variety of sizes, from bite size thumbprint cookies to full size logo cookies. Cookies offer customization, as we can mix up icing in any color palette, add specialized writing, and offer tons of shapes for you to choose from!

Choosing a selection of various sizes that are then displayed together creates a presentation that will surely impress your guests!

Chocolate Dipped Pretzels and Oreos

Chocolate dipped pretzels (the perfect sweet and salty treat!) and Oreos can also coordinate with your dessert table theme. They add a little more variety to the table and always seem disappear quickly with any crowd.

Chocolate Chip Cookies and Brownie Bites

We offer homemade chocolate chip cookies and bite size brownie bites. Chocolate chip cookies are a personal favorite, and who can resist a brownie in flavors like red velvet Oreo truffle brownie, peanut butter buckeye and classic chocolate iced fudge?!

Can’t Forget the Cake!

And you can’t forget the cake options! Cakes are an ever popular dessert table original. From a small cutting cake primarily for presentation, to a multiple tiered cake to serve 100, graduation cakes can be designed to spotlight the graduates special interests, degree or school! 

They come in any of our over 100 flavors and each tier can be a flavor of its own. We’ve created graduation cakes for graduates from cosmetology school, the police academy, veterinary school, nursing school and, of course, high schools and colleges.

We can match party decorations with colors from any schools including University of Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky University, Cincinnati State, University of Dayton, and Xavier. Not to mention highs schools such as Anderson, Mariemont, Mason and others!

We would love to talk to you more about design options for your special graduate this year!

So, when and how to I order?!

Graduation season hits right in our busiest time of year, when spring weddings are also at their peak. This means that we encourage you to place graduation orders as soon as possible!

We don’t have a specific order cutoff dates, but all orders are first come first served. We consider orders placed when they have been finalized and paid for in full either over the phone or in person. 

To begin the ordering process, you can fill out our Order Inquiry Form on our website. This will send us all of the information we need to begin talking with you about pricing and design suggestions. Once you have submitted the form, please give us a call to follow up at 513-984-1100. 

You can also give us a call first, or email us at 3sweetgirlscakery@gmail.com and we are always happy to chat!
