Easter Price List 2011

2011-04-13T18:42:00.000-07:00

Welcome Spring! I am so happy to see my wee flowers popping up out of the garden. And I'm so happy it is almost Easter. I'm excited to be offering Easter baking this year. Below you will find my price list. Please note that due to fuel prices I'm not able to offer free delivery any longer unless you live in Alta Vista or South Keys. If you live elsewhere in Ottawa, I can deliver for a fee or, of course, you can always pick up your baking at my home.

Below you'll find my Taste of Spring package as well as several pies, Paska (Mennonite Easter bread) and butter tarts as well as homemade Easter cream eggs (hooray!). As always, custom packages are available. Just let me know what you'd like!

Lastly, I'm very excited to be offering some gluten-free baking now. The GF list is at the bottom of this post. Please note that while these recipes do not contain gluten, I do use gluten in my kitchen and my utensils and mixer, while cleaned between recipes, do come in contact with gluten.

If you would like to place an order or just ask a question, please contact me using the information in the sidebar. Please have all orders in for Easter by April 16.

1 loaf of Paska
1 dozen of each of the following:

Easter goodies

Here in Ottawa we are all pining for crocuses, daffodils and tulips. While the temperatures outside may not be spring-like yet, Easter reminds us that spring is indeed here.

I will be putting up a price list for Easter shortly but just to get you thinking about Easter treats, here are some of the recipes I plan to offer:

Lemon Puff Pie
Key Lime Pie
Acadian Sugar Pie
Shoefly Pie
Butter tarts
Old Fashioned Lemon Squares
Seafoam Chews
Caramel Toffee Squares
Paska (Mennonite Easter Bread)
Rolo cookies
Homemade Easter Cream Eggs

In a cruel twist of fate, the Sugarplum Fairy has discovered that she is gluten intolerant. Rather than crying myself to sleep each night, I've decided to embrace this as a learning opportunity and work out some really good gluten-free recipes. As such, I'm able to offer the following recipes as gluten-free:

Butter tarts
Old Fashioned Lemon Squares
Homemade Easter Cream Eggs
Key Lime Pie
Acadian Sugar Pie

Please note however that I still do bake recipes in my kitchen with regular flour which means that my mixers and pans do come in contact with wheat flour.

Christmas is over but the baking goes on....

2011-01-10T18:13:00.000-08:00

My friends, although the tree is down, the presents unwrapped and the cookies eaten, I am still baking... or at least, willing to bake. I am indeed taking a little break from the kitchen right now, that is, until someone calls needing cookies.

I continue to be at your beck and call for cookies, pies and squares. Hosting a baby or wedding shower? Having family or friends out of town for the weekend? Hosting a skating party? Let me do the baking for you. Have a browse through the photos at the side or through my previous price lists and let me know what sort of baking you're interested in. I'll give you a price and a delivery date as fast as you can say Hello Dollies!

Apologies to anyone who is left disappointed but I'm not able to take anymore orders for Christmas. The wonderful coverage on SavvyMom Ottawa and word-of-mouth has meant that I'm at baking capacity! However, if you are planning a New Years celebration and would like some goodies, please see the packages below or pick and choose and I'd be happy to put together a custom order. Thanks for your patronage!

Welcome SavvyMom readers!

Recipe List

Caramel Toffee Squares Will put you in mind of a Twix Bar. A shortbread crust covered in thick caramel and topped with chocolate.

Choco Toffee Snowballs After one taste, it quickly became one of The Sugarplum Fairy’s favourite cookies. This is a classic Christmas cookie that will leave you wishing Christmas came more than once a year.

Chocolate or Butterscotch Confetti Will take you back… straight to the ‘80s! Mini marshmallows covered in melted chocolate or butterscotch chips and peanut butter. A childhood favourite!

Double Brownies If you like traditional chocolate brownies, imagine them swirled with butterscotch and topped with a brown sugar icing.

Gingersnaps Mum’s famous ginger cookies. Wonderful for dunking.

Hello Dollies The Sugarplum Fairy’s most asked for recipe. A buttery graham cracker crust layered with sweetened condensed milk (you already know it will be good!), pecans, chocolate chips and coconut.

Marble Swirls Chocolate and vanilla, the perfect combination. This crisp cookie is a marble cookie perfect to accompany coffee, hot chocolate or nothing at all!

Nanaimo Bars No Canadian dessert tray would be complete without them.

Orange Kisses A shortbread-type cookie, delicately formed into a bite-size round and topped with a dollop of orange-flavoured icing and garnished with orange zest. Sure to be a new Christmas favourite.

Shortbread A traditional family recipe. Our Scottish roots serve us well in this recipe. One (very large) pan contains a full pound of butter. If you’ve been wanting a proper shortbread, you’ve come to the right place.

Back open for business!

2010-11-22T08:01:00.000-08:00

Hi everyone! After an almost two-year hiatus, The Sugarplum Fairy is set to bake again.

There will be some changes this year and some new recipes. I plan to have all this information up in the next day or so... so stay tuned!

See you in 2010?

2009-06-09T12:03:00.001-07:00

Hi everyone. Thanks for your good wishes regarding my health. It seems fate has dealt me an ironic blow. Things are pointing to me having Celiac Disease which means that, if true, I'll never be able to eat gluten again. Know what that means? Nothing with flour, rye or barley! Not great for a Sugarplum Fairy such as myself.

I'll be getting a diagnosis (I hope) in the next few weeks.

However, our family is moving for 14 months to Waterloo, Ontario and so the business will not be in operation again until Fall 2010.

I do hope that some of you come back and think of ordering from me then. And, in line with my new sympathies for those of the Celiac persuasion, I will be offering a complete line of gluten-free baking. I plan to spend the next year doing research. Lots and lots of research (and taste-testing!).

See you back here in 2010!

Business suspended for the moment

2009-03-09T05:20:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone. Due to my own health issues recently, I'm having to suspend the business until further notice. I'll be having tests done shortly I hope that will indicate what is going on with me and lead to me feeling better soon.

Newest photos are up in the sidebar

2009-02-28T12:16:00.000-08:00

Now accepting orders for New Year's

2008-12-05T20:18:00.000-08:00

I want to sincerely thank everyone for your overwhelming support, interest and, of course, orders. In fact, I've had so much interest that as of now I will not be accepting anymore orders before Christmas (unless they are very small). I apologize if anyone is left disappointed.

However, I am accepting orders for New Year's and beyond. Click here for my price list and recipes.

Thanks again, everyone!

No more orders week of Dec 7 to 13

2008-12-04T04:53:00.000-08:00

Hi all. I'm not able to accept any more orders for the week of December 7 to 13. This is a nice position to be in! I've had a high number of orders for that week and to accept any more would mean a few all-nighters. So, instead, if you want to order, I'm still accepting orders for the weeks following that.

We are based in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada with a second location in Austin, Texas. We provide homebaking, delivered to your door for any event where you want homebaked goodies.

If you don't like to bake or simply don't have the time, let us do it for you! We love to bake and we're darn good at it. We will deliver your Christmas baking (shh, we won't tell that you didn't make it yourself) to your door.

We bake all of the cookies, squares, pies, cakes and tarts (or whatever you fancy) ourselves in our own kitchen. We have a huge variety of recipes; something that will suit everyone's tastes.

I'll be adding some photos of our baking as time goes on but for now, if you order a sampler of Christmas baking, you could expect to receive:

our family's traditional Scottish shortbread (it melts in your mouth)
a variety of Christmas cookies that could include: sugar cookies, chocolate pinwheels, toffee snowballs, thumbprint cookies, chocolate orange biscotti just to name a few
a few different types of squares

We can customize to your tastes and needs. We don't use margarine, shortening or corn syrup. We only use ingredients that your great-grandmother would have used. Organic is available.

For now, we're concentrating on Christmas baking but we're happy to take orders for any events or get togethers or just for your own goodie cupboard.

Please leave a comment with your email and we'll be happy to get back to you as soon as possible. You can also contact us by phone at 613-216-4355.
