(2931 Honolulu Avenue La Crescenta 91214) Free cupcakes, coffee & lemonade, and there will be prizes!    Now, back to our show....****

The other night, I was walking my dog like I always do in the hills of Topanga. I heard the PA system from the nearby Topanga Elementary School announcing "Thanks for coming to Back to School Night!". Really? Kids are back to school already...wow! It is that time of year, but we have been so blessed with business at Friandise that it just snuck up on me. The almost-official Last Camping Weekend of Summer, Labor Day Weekend, is upon us.

So let's take a look at some of our favorite Back to School and Just for Kids goodies!

Send Junior to BTS night with a plate of Cookies N Cream Rice Croquants--
Instant Hit!

This week at the Farmer's Market I got to bring our Classic Lunchbox Cupcakes to the sweets-loving patrons of Century City. It's Kirby's way-better version of the Hostess Cupcake, made with rich chocolate cake, her handmade marshmallow fluff, and dark chocolate ganache. My customers got to be kids again for dessert!

Classic Lunchbox Cupcakes--updated and amazing!

Next week I will be bringing another cupcake that takes us grown-ups back to school in our hearts and minds--Peanut Butter and Jelly! One of my favorites, it's vanilla cake with a jam filling and topped with Kirby's signature Peanut Butter Frosting. A few dozen mini PB&J cupcakes would be an awesome way to welcome all your youngster's new classmates to Back to School Night!

Another perfect throwback to Back to School Night? The popular and nostalgic Kirbycake!

Like a Ding Dong--but awesome.

We love baking for kids because it lets us be fun and creative while also making cakes and sweets that we would love at our own classroom event or birthday party "back in the day". Let's review a few of our greatest hits!

Aren't they cute? This is really making me consider ordering a Thundercats cake for my next birthday.That was my favorite cartoon as a kid. So what was yours? Go sound off on our Facebook Page or send us a Tweet!


That's all for now! Have a safe and happy Labor Day Weekend. Until next week, stay sweet!
