Graduation Season

Graduation season is almost over.... we we're very busy with special order cakes and goodies which was great.


One of my favorite projects was for a friend's son Derrick, it was a challenge but I think it turned out well.

New at Blenderz

Banana Splits

Enjoy one of America's favorite hot weather treats. We have two sizes to choose from, a regular 3 scoop split and the outrageous Mucho Grande split which is 6 scoops of ice cream, two bananas, five toppings, whipped cream and two cherries!

Funnel Cake Fries

One of my most favorite "fair" foods is the funnel cake. I was so excited to find these great new treats - I knew I just had to bring them to the store for our customers. Along with the fries we'll have whipped cream, caramel, and strawberries for dipping!

Spring is here....

It's so nice to see the sunshine, even if it is just a little each day! The bulbs are all shooting up and the flowers are so beautiful.

We've been experimenting with some new creations just in time for Easter....one of which is to die for...WHOOPIE PIES. For now we just have Chocolate with Vanilla filling but soon we'll be trying other combinations like Red Velvet with Cream Cheese, Pumpkin with Cream Cheese,and others.

We've also added to our line of homemade doggy treats. Besides our regular Nutty Bones and Snickerpoodles we have a new Beefy Cheddar Bites. Our next endeavor will be Pupcakes, which will be special mini cupcakes for dogs.

One Year Anniversary Celebration

Hello everyone...

It's unbelievable that we've been open for a year. It seems like just yesterday that we were putting the paint on the floor and trying to get the ice machine to work!

We'll be having specials all week (3/10-3/14), beginning with "Twisted Tuesday". For every one of our gourmet filled pretzels that you buy, you'll get the second one FREE! If you've never seen our pretzels - check them out at http://www.youtube.com/user/kimandscotts . With great flavors like Grilled Cheese, Mozzerella Pizza, Jalapeno Cheddar, and Savory Herb & Cream Cheese, we're sure that you'll find one that suits your tastebuds. And before summer we'll have even more flavors to choose from.

Check the website each day next week to see what the special is for that day....and on Saturday there will be FREE cake and ice cream for all to enjoy.

Hope to see you soon.

We made it through Valentine's Day....

We had a very busy couple of days and boy was it fun! I must say I was very happy to put all the heart cutters, pans, and paper away.

My favorite creation for the weekend was a simple Strawberry Cake with a filling of Whipped Cream and Strawberries....my mouth watered the whole time I was making it. (I'll admit it, I snacked on a couple of the extra strawberries after it was finished.) The customer almost forgot to pick it up.....I was kinda disappointed when she showed up right at closing time.

My challenge for this week was to put out a new display cake. I've had several customers ask about "plain and simple" wedding cakes, so that's what I decided to make. Working with styrofoam cake dummies, as opposed to real cake, is a lot harder than it looks. After two days of fighting a cold AND round styrofoam this is the finished product.

February Fun with Cookies

Wow....it's almost Valentines Day. The weather is getting a little better and people are starting to move around a little more!

We started taking orders for V-Day cookies last week and are getting prepared for the big baking days coming up! We even had one jumbo cookie picked up yesterday since the customer's hubby will be out of town all next week and weekend - she's going to pack the cookie in his suitcase (hopefully he's not flying to his destination!!!).

We're also gearing up for wedding season. We provided cookies and cupcakes to a local florist who put them in her display during a recent bridal show. The theme was "black and white" and I think they turned out pretty cute.

Ready for Valentine's Day

We've been busy in the kitchen getting ready for the sweetest day of the year.....Valentine's Day.

We'll have special order personalized pan cookies, individually wrapped decorated cookies, and special order cakes.

Winterfest Fire & Ice 2009

We were selected as one of the locations for an ice sculpture for the weekend....this is supposed to be Winnie the Pooh. A couple of young customers commented that it looks more like Piglet!

• I think the sculptor was a little tired by the time he got to ours....this was the third one that he had worked on. When we last checked on him it was about 8:00 pm and really cold and he still had a while to go.

There are some outstanding scultpures throughout town and I'm always in awe of what can be created out of a block of ice. For more pictures go to http://www.golakechelan.com/!2009/Jan/WFCollage/imagepages/image1.html for a collage by Richard Ulhorn. With the weather as cold as it has been the sculptures should be around for several weeks.

It's 2009 (already)!

Man...wasn't it just January 2008? Time flies when you're having fun. It seems like just yesterday that Del & I were ripping out the insides of the old Farmer's Insurance office; busting out the concrete floor, putting in cabinets, painting and putting in tile. In just two short months we'll be celebrating Blenderz' first anniversary!

We'll be closing the store for some much needed "winter maintenance" from the 11th through the 15th. We'll re-open the store just in time for Chelan's Winterfest Fire & Ice celebration on the 16th. We may even venture out of our normal "box" and have a booth at the park by the ice skating rink and snow sculptures so that folks can keep warm with some of our great hot drinks.

Here's to a great 2009 - be well and happy - and we look forward to seeing you soon.
