It’s been a busy June at The Dessert Tray with graduations, weddings and showers, such happy times. I am thrilled to be as busy as the bees. I have exciting news, but you’ll have to check back in a few weeks to see what’s...

It's Spring!
Winter is over and I for one am glad. I love the rain, but come on, we live in San Diego for a reason, and our lives revolve around being outdoors. I had planned to post some pictures of all the yummy treats I have been working on, but for some reason - most likely my complete lack of computer intelligence :) - I cannot seem to find them. So I will just tell you….
I have never been a huge...

Sweet Revenge
How good does THAT sound? Well, since dessert is pretty much on my mind at all times, I have just named my new cupcake!
A very good customer asked me today if I could try to replicate a favorite restaurant dessert of hers. She described, and I envisioned.
Stay tuned, I will start creating this one early next week for tastings!

OMG it's December 1st!
I can’t believe I pretty much missed November, but I didn’t miss my birthday. Another year older deserved something yummy, and I made lemon meringue cupcakes. They sure were good!
November is also a month that we think a bit more about the things we are thankful for in our lives. I am so thankful for all the wonderful clients I have met in my first year in business. It is such a...

No tricks, just treats!
Malted milk ball cupcakes with malted buttercream frosting, topped with candy. Need I say more?
If it ain't broke....
So, there I was, trying to improve upon my caramel apple cupcake. I tried many, many, (five to be exact) different fillings, and a few different frostings, but you know what? The original is still the favorite. Apple spice cake, filled with homemade caramel, topped with caramel buttercream frosting and drizzled with yet more caramel. There we have have it!
Caramel apple cupcakes
Don’t they sound good? I am hard at work trying to take them to even greater heights. Stay tuned, pictures coming soon!

Summer's end
I made this Hawaiian carrot cake with cream cheese butter cream frosting to take to our friend’s annual luau party. It was a fun cake to make, and even better to eat! Of course the kids wanted to eat the bubble gum blankets and hula teddy bears. Aloha!

Pumpkin cupcakes with brown sugar buttercream
This time of year, when the kids are heading back to school, always brings me back to my childhood. Growing up in New England, the weather would be starting to cool (not like San Diego, where we were right around 100º last week, I’m not complaining) and people went to the orchards to pick apples and peaches. Cooking shifted from “summer” foods to “winter” foods....
Key lime cupcakes
Key lime pie is my all time favorite dessert. I am a key lime pie snob actually. So, when I set out to replicate the creamy, limey (is that even a word?) flavors of my favorite pie, even I had my doubts. Well, pucker up pretties, this is one lip smackin’ cupcake!
