Numma numma...it's November!

Who doesn't like November? It's like you save up your appetite all month long for the big feast of turkey, stuffing, mashed taters and all the fixins that go with it. I'm sure some of you are invited to these feasts with a dish you need to contribute. Why not let us do the work for you?

This month ONLY we are offering 8" layer cakes in the following flavors:

Rich chocolate fudge
Caramel nut
Yellow buttercream
White chocolate pumpkin

These cakes are $20 each with a pretty fondant leaf on top and boxed up to go! Orders need to be placed prior to November 18th! Email us today sugardrama@gmail.com

We're also starting to take orders for the holiday season. Our holiday cupcake flavor menu is about to be unveiled...please be patient while we finish up testing our recipes so we can offer you the best holiday assortment in cupcakes!

This past month, we ROCKED! Literally! Check out the 2 guitar cakes we made in October. The orange cake was modeled after a vintage Gretsch guitar for Jess' dad's 60th birthday. A delicious red velvet cake made everyone sing! The blue cake was modeled after an electric guitar for a nine year old's birthday. Both cakes were 100% edible, with the exception of the guitar strings!

Our customer that ordered the blue guitar was so pleased with the cake for her son, that she called and gushed about how good it looked AND tasted. In fact, she went on to tell us that her husband isn't a cake eater, and he loved it. Not that we want to toot our own horn, but that feedback is awesome! We make these cakes because we want to make our customers happy! Mission accomplished!

So, what are you waiting for? Contact us to order your cake today!

Outrageous October

Welcome to October! One of the best months of the year! The trees are beautiful colors, the mosquitoes are gone and comfort foods like pumpkin pie, beef stew and apple cider all seem to taste better after the long, hot summer.

This month, we're offering some special items!

First, we'd like to announce our October cupcake of the month: WHITE CHOCOLATE PUMPKIN- a moist pumpkin pie infused cake spiked with nutmeg and cinnamon loaded with rich white chocolate buttercream icing and topped with a single candy corn. Thank you to those of you who took our poll and voted for this variety! Check out this month's poll to vote for November's cupcake!

Another special item this month is a family favorite of our very own cake designer, Jess. It's a great cookie recipe that goes back YEARS in her family. During October ONLY, Papa's Sugar Cookies are available by the dozen for $15.00. These are the most unique and delicious sugar cookies you'll ever taste, topped with orange buttercream and candy corns.

We're also offering Halloween designed cupcakes for this month only. We will be posting pictures of the designs soon, so stay tuned to see what we have cooking in our cauldron for you! One of the designs will be our "brain cakes"-any flavor cupcake with flesh toned buttercream icing emulating a brain design! Creepy, but delicious! Get yours ordered for your Halloween parties!


At the end of this month, we're launching our NEW speciality cupcake flavors. We're perfecting these recipes this month so we can offer you the best tasting cupcake you've ever had! Since these flavors are one of a kind, when you order them, they will only be available by the dozen in one flavor. So, go in on a dozen with some friends, or get a dozen each and split 2 flavors! Until we have a storefront to sell these one at a time, we can only offer our flavors in larger quantities. Thanks for your understanding!

A ladybug inspired 1st birthday cake

During September, we were VERY busy baking and decorating (some of our cakes are featured here for the first time completed in September). In fact, we were probably a little TOO busy. Since we're still moms, wives and employees with other companies, too...we have to be careful about not biting off more than we can chew, literally. We just love our cakes so much that we've given up sleep, social events and even eating to get them done for our customers.

Jess' dad turned 60, so we rocked this awesome Gretsch
guitar made with dad's favorite...red velvet!

We hate to admit it, but we
have limited time and space in our weekends to complete cake orders, so if you want to order one of our elaborate, detailed and one-of-a-kind cakes, please give us at LEAST 2 weeks notice.


Our cakes generally start around $85.00 in price and the average cost of our cakes we've designed for customers since June is $105.00. We just didn't want any of you to have sticker shock...this is our going rate these days, and we promise WE ARE WORTH IT!


Your party goers will ooh and ahh not only at the showcase of the cake, but the taste is out of this world, too! We make our own buttercream from fresh ingredients, never canned or pre-made! Our cakes are fresh out of the oven, never frozen and tested for tender centers! We pride ourselves in presenting you with a cake that looks as good as it tastes!

A 1st birthday cake inspired by the book
"Where the Wild Things Are"

A baby shower cake...the request
was for a pink baby bottle!

A ten year old girl wanted a groovy peace
sign cake, but asked if we could make it
look like the number "10". 

Chocolate iced chocolate cupcakes with
orange peace signs were the request of an 8 year old boy!

Drama Queen cupcakes with baby blue peace signs requested
by a 10 year old girl!

Gorgeous cupcake bouquets served not only as a centerpiece
for a wedding vow renewal ceremony. These centerpieces
were edible, too!

A WILD 21st birthday cake for someone
who likes to party...and tattoos!

Sweet September

The kids are in school, you're getting back into a normal routine again. Maybe you miss your kids? Or are you seeing your commute to work get longer thanks to school buses and landscaping trucks? Wouldn't a cupcake make everything better?

I bet your kids would LOVE to find a cupcake in their lunchbox, or on a plate with a glass of milk after school on the kitchen table.


September brings a NEW cupcake to the Sugar Drama Cakery family, as well as a sweet deal!

September Cupcake of the month:
Chai Tea Latte
A fluffy chai-spiced cake with chai-honey buttercream icing. Finished with a generous sprinkle of cinnamon sugar and just a teeny dash of black pepper. If you love treating yourself to Chai Tea Lattes, you're going to crave this treat! In fact,you'll like it "a latte". Heh-heh.
Don't forget, this flavor is 10% off this month, only!


Sweet Deal for September:
Our 6 pack of cupcakes are just $8.00 (Normally $12.00)
(One flavor for all 6 cupcakes only)

Our kitchen table...after one evening of decorating!
I think it was 2:30am when we shot this picture...

We have been busy with orders thanks to all of you, our loyal and happy customers! Many of you wonder where we are located...well, at the present time, we're not officially "a bakery". We're building our business plan and scouring the area for locations to open our Cakery! Grayslake, IL seems to be the spot we're looking at...so if you're around that area we invite you to support us as soon as we move in (cross your fingers it will be early 2011). For now, we bake in our CLEAN and SANITARY kitchens in Round Lake, IL and deliver all of our cakes to your event!

As we build our business, we thank you for your patience. We're still working on our pricing structure, invoices and the timeliness of our responses to you. Since we're both working moms (yes, we have other jobs aside from this!) with oodles of extracurricular activities AND trying to launch a cakery and storefront...we are trying our best to make this a priority and give our customers top notch service! So, if we didn't provide you with a prompt email/call, just remember..."When you feel like giving up, remember why you held on for so long in the first place."! 

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! -J and N
