Today's Fall Festival feature at Snafood:

Curried Butternut Squash & Apple Soup!
Also on The Speedy Gourmet today: Pumpkin Bar Recipe!
Today's featured company is:
We Take the Cake!
Where do I begin with this review? There literally are not enough words to tell you how much I enjoyed these cupcakes. From the moment I opened the box and saw the gorgeous works of art until I finally got up the courage to eat one (I don't mean this in a bad way - they are just so beautiful I hated to dive into them!), I was so impressed. The detail in each cupcake is amazing. I have to admit that I was a little depressed as I ate the last one. I looked forward to these each day.
These are not your average cupcakes - these are oversized! The cupcake assortment I received to review contained Chocolate, Red Velvet and Golden Butter. Need I say more? Okay well if that isn't enough to make you fall in love, how about this - each cupcake has cream cheese frosting, and on top of each was a buttercream frosting in the shape of a flower. Oh my!
A little about We Take the Cake and it's owner, Lori Karmel (lucky lady!):
Back in 1997, We Take The Cake began as a modest mail-order bakery. This was before I even knew they existed! Well, a few years later, I happened to visit this bakery to buy a cake for my son Sean's third birthday. The rest, as they say, is history...it was definitely love at first bite, and I ended up buying the business!
Since then, I've updated the look and feel of the company to reflect our team's fun, whimsical personality. We've also added custom designs. But there's one thing that we've kept the same...and it's the wholesome, homemade recipes that I fell in love with in the first place.
We Take the Cake offers Bundt Cakes (including their famous Key Lime Bundt Cake!) and cupcakes, layer cakes and cakes for Baby Showers, birthdays, and South Florida Wedding Cakes (if you are fortunate enough to live in that area). Their gourmet cakes are simply out of this world. I say this in all honesty - that if I were to do my wedding all over again, I have no doubt that I would order my cake from We Take the Cake. I am just dying to try their Key Lime Bundt Cake too - it was chosen as one of Oprah's Favorite Things - Key Lime Bundt Cake! I am completely swept away with this company, and I am thrilled to have discovered them!
The Giveaway is now CLOSED!!**:
