Sugar Monster

Let’s face it: First Friday in Boulder is a work in progress. You never know what you’re gonna get until you’ve arrived.

But this week, I’m urging you to go early to experience the true meaning of the word masterpiece: a cupcake from Tee & Cakes, 1932 14th St. For free.

The boutique bakery is hosting an artist reception at 6:30 p.m. Friday for Aya Tanaka, creator of the Sugar Monster, and they’re treating the first 100 visitors to a gorgeous, house-made cupcake gratis! A perfect blend of indulgence and culture, if you ask me.

Nice Wedding Review

Tee and Cakes, just off the Pearl Street Mall in Boulder, was my chosen vendor for cupcakes and cake for our wedding. They were awesome!!!

After trying another bakery in town, my mom and I came to Tee and Cakes for a tasting. We knew immediately that this was the place: the cake and icings were an absolute dream AND the price was right. What a bonanza!

I went with cupcakes because, piece for piece, they are significantly less expensive than a decorated cake ($2.50-3 per cupcake vs. $5.50-9 per slice of cake) - and they present much better than an icing-slimed sliver of a traditional wedding cake. In addition, I’m kind of known for my baking prowess - I HAD to have an amazing cake at my wedding or I’d never live it down.

Tee and Cakes delivered the cupcakes and one 8″cake (for cutting!) to the reception on time and arranged them on silver trays as discussed. They also remembered to set a couple cakes aside for my cousin with nut allergies.

My guests loved the arrangement - and the cakes! They could hardly wait until the cake cutting - and then went back for seconds!! Let’s face it - most of the time there’s tons of extra cake left over… not this wedding! We were lucky to have a couple of the vanilla/vanilla cakes left - the chocolate/chocolate and choc/peanut butter ones were history before the first dance!

After the wedding, I had nothing but rave reviews about the cake… it was a hit and I highly recommend Tee and Cakes in Boulder for any cake need (they can do cakes, cupcakes for any occasion!)

Art Show This Friday! Aug. 6th

08.04.10

Aya Tanaka is the artist, Sugar Monster the muse.

In 1878 three Sugar monsters visited the planet earth. they discovered the delights of sweets and tea. since then millions of sugar monsters have migrated to earth. not too many people know this because they live inside clouds, mostly the ones that are puffy and white, not storm clouds. when storm clouds come sugar monsters tend to hide in english tea shops or inside of mount fuji in japan. This might sound strange but it’s the truth, and if you really think about it you can see it really is true.

Anyway, I digress. Aya tanaka, a local resident in Boulder, colorado, has channeled the spirit of these cute little (and slightly odd) sugar monsters for our benefit. so gather around and enjoy a nice cup of tea and perhaps a cookie or two. Soon enough you’ll be say’n, “i love sugar monster”!

Sugar! arigatoo!

Not only is feedback awesome in music, it’s great to hear from customers:

I just wanted to say THANK YOU for the amazing deliciousness. The cupcakes were just perfect and everyone loved them. I only got to have one…but, I heard rave reviews from everyone else. The cake was delicious too…so thanks.

If You Have Something Nice To Say…

07.30.10

Day in and day out the Tee & Cakes team is hard at work on anything from a latte to wedding cakes. We really appreciate it when folks take the time to say such nice things. This one popped up in our inbox today….

I felt I had to sit down and email you to tell you how much we all so enjoyed your desserts at the wedding. Everything was so delicious and had such a good after taste. I am not a dessert eater but I have to say that it is rare that I give out compliments for desserts. Even the presentation was beautiful. My only disappointment is that you are not on the East coast where I would be a frequent customer of yours.

I hope the next time when I visit my granddaughter in Boulder, I can stop in to have one of your fantastic desserts.
