Mid January blues? Our cupcakes are sure to put a smile on your face! Come and see us at The Cambridge Farmers Market on Saturday from 7am-1pm or on Sundays at the Burford Family Market from 10am-5pm! Nothing is guaranteed to brighten your day like a hot cup of coffee and a delicious, made-from-scratch cupcake from The Grand Bakery!

Last weekend Double Chocolate Fudge made its debut.  Rich chocolate cake filled with an AMAZINGLY fudgy filling and topped with a classic chocolate buttercream.  If you love chocolate, this is sure to hit your sweet spot! Available in both Regular and Mini sizes.  Stop in early to avoid disappointment!

The other new addition to the family was the Energy Cookie.  Soft and delicious, filled with great stuff like oats, wheat germ, natural peanut butter, coconut…and then a sprinkle of Belgian chocolate chips to sweeten the deal.  8 grams of good-for-you protein in each cookie. A perfect breakfast on the run!
