Beachside Bakers 2012
Beachside Bakers was tri-founded in 2010 by Jessica Adam, Sara Adam, and Caitlin Coates in Gloucester, MA. The business started with our love for baking and experimenting in the kitchen. We began baking cupcakes for beach parties and yacht club events as a fun summer job. The following summer, we took our favorite hobby to a higher level and expanded by selling cupcakes at our local Cape Ann Farmers market. We joined a non-profit organization for teen artist entrepreneurs called T.A.G (Teen Artist Guild) in Gloucester, MA which provided us with a table to sell cupcakes at the market. Since 2010, Beachside Bakers has hired new employees, held cupcake decorating classes at the Department of Community Services in Andover, MA, and added several new baked goods to their business. The past few summers have been an incredibly rewarding experience as we have learned how to start a small business. We have had to work with many people from licensing our home for food service, making sure the product is ready for the general public, meeting deadlines, and finding high quality ingredients at an affordable price. This process has been an exciting journey, and our business received a lot of attention. The Gloucester Times frequently highlights us in the local newspaper. This past summer we catered our first party, which was also exciting. 10% of our profit is donated to Cape Ann Art Haven, 10% of our profit is donated to Cape Ann Farmer’s Market, donations are also made to Andover Department of Community Services. Please check out our designs! Place an order, plan a party, or just email us at jessica@beachsidebakers.com :)

HBD Ariel
Happy Birthday Ariel Kuyks! I had to add your favorite ladybugs into the cupcakes somehow. It's hard to tell, but the ladybugs are actually m&m's upside down and I drew on the body with edible soy ink. They're so cute, I'm definitely going to put them on more cupcakes in the future.
Spring Cupcake Workshop
We just had our DCS spring cupcake workshop two weeks ago. You can check out the pictures here Facebook DCS Cupcake Album . Twelve girls took home six beautifully decorated spring cupcakes. My favorite design was our newest edition, The Polka-Dot Bikini. It was made with a starburst cut into triangles and pearl sprinkles for the polka-dots. The girls said their favorite was the Sea Gull cupcake, which makes sense because it is our best Sea-ller J

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TARA!
My best friend's birthday was February 4th. She is a cheetah lover, so I made her this cheetah fondant cake. It came out really cool and I used edible gold glitter paint for the cheetah spots.

French Macaroons
After our trip to Paris, we fell in love with the french macaroons. We tried Martha Stewart's Vanilla Bean French Macaroon recipe and they turned out pretty well. It was our first time using vanilla bean. I think we have to tweak the recipe a little in the future to make them look like the ones in Paris. The taste was pretty close though. Bonus: these macaroons are gluten-free :)

Veterans Day ~
Hey bloggers,
We wrapped up the 2011 Farmer's Market last month. Thanks to everyone who came and supported us at Stage Fort under the T.A.G tent this summer, and especially thanks to Mat, and the brilliant artists at T.A.G. This summer we added a ton of new beach designs as well as cakepops and Great-Grandma Patrick's cinnamon cake. After the frequent buyers at the market realized what cakepops were, towards the end of the summer we were selling over 60 chocolate and vanillas per week! (A cakepop is a delectable bite sized combination of cake and frosting, molded on a stick like a lollipop, then dipped in chocolate that just about melts in your mouth on a hot August day;). G-G-Ma's cinnamon cakes were also a huge hit. We continue to bake the cakes during the winter so hmu, e-mail (beachsidebakers@gmail.com), or comment if you'd like an order. One of my friends from school remembers having them at my 5th grade birthday party and just placed an order.
I think my favorite thing about fall is the pumpkin flavored....everything (specifically Dunkin's pumpkin donut). Sara and I are going to be trying out some new pumpkin flavored cupcakes and fall-esque designs so we'll keep you updated!!
Veteran's Day is November 11th so thank your veterans and treat them to some cups of cake.
