			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em><strong>What ingredients do you use in your cupcakes?</strong></em>  I believe in baking with products that are as close to their natural state as possible.  Therefore, we use Bob&#8217;s Red Mill unbleached white wheat pastry flour, organic evaporated cane juice, non-aluminum baking powder, Madagascar bourbon vanilla, Nielsen-Massey&#8217;s pure extracts, Callebaut&#8217;s Cacao Barry cocoas, Guittard&#8217;s chocolates, Plush Puff&#8217;s natural marshmallows, raw nuts, India Tree&#8217;s natural sprinkles and colors, RBST-free dairy from our local dairy and many other wonderful products. </p>
<p><strong><em>Are there nuts in your cupcakes?  </em></strong>We are not a nut free bakery.  We have pecans, walnuts, peanuts and hazelnuts on the premises, so if you have a strong allergy to peanuts or tree nuts we suggest that you do not eat from our bakery.</p>
<p><strong><em>Is there soy in your cupcakes?  </em></strong>Not generally, however we will use some toppings (like Oreos) that contain soy lecithin.  It is always best to ask.</p>
<p><strong><em>Do you bake daily?</em></strong>  Yes, Ann gets up super early (way too early) and scratch bakes every morning and again in the afternoon.</p>
<p><em><strong>Do you have Gluten-free cupcakes?</strong></em>  Yes, we do!  We prepare all our gluten free cupcakes daily on site in a separate kitchen.</p>
<p><strong><em>Do you ever run out of cupcakes before you close?</em></strong>  Yes, it does happen.  Customer consumption can be as unpredictable as the sunshine in Oregon!  And because we are a scratch bake bakery, we will run out at times.  Please call ahead if you are making a special trip or need a special cupcake so that we can put some aside for you.</p>
<p><strong><em>Do you do wedding cupcakes?</em></strong>  Yes, we do!  We can create an amazing cupcake display for your wedding.  We can also do a 6&#8243; top cake for cutting or a custom cake if you desire.  Let us know your cake flavors/creation and we can bake it!</p>
<p><em><strong>Do you do special occasion cakes?</strong></em>  Yes.  At this time we do cupcake cakes for your special occasion and various sizes of custom cakes.  We love making our customers special occasions even more special so call the bakery and tell us what you want and we can discuss design and pricing.</p>
<p><strong><em>Do you deliver?</em></strong>  Yes, for a fee depending on where you are located.  If in town (Newberg), it&#8217;s $5.</p>
<p><strong><em>Are you a franchise?</em></strong>  No, we&#8217;re a family owned business started by a dream and lots of prayers.</p>
<p><em><strong>How can we find you?</strong></em>  We are located in Newberg, OR <em>(on your way to wine country and the beach</em>).  We are right on highway 99W (before you get to downtown Newberg) on the north side of the highway in a beautiful 1920&#8217;s yellow craftsman home.  Just look up for the tallest pine tree on the highway and you&#8217;ve found us!  In 2010, we opened a kiosk in the beautiful european inspired Bridgeport Village Mall right across from PF Chang&#8217;s in Tualatin, Oregon.</p>
<p><strong><em>Do you host parties and birthday parties at your bakery?</em></strong>  We do rent out our front room for private parties after hours.  The hourly rate is $75.  This includes set-up, use of our dishes and we even clean up for you!</p>
<p><strong><em>Do you donate your cupcakes?</em></strong>  Yes, we do a lot of donations and love to supply cupcakes to the local community events, schools and organizations.  Please submit your request in writing only.  Due to the overwhelming amount of request that we receive from our two locations, we do not accept phone requests for donation requests so we ask that you not call the bakery.  We review requests monthly.</p>
<p><strong><em>Can you ship your cupcakes?</em></strong>  At this time we are not set up for shipping, but it will definitely be something we will do in the future (Ann&#8217;s bro works for UPS- job security!)</p>
<p><strong><em>Can I order from your website?</em></strong>  Ann loves to shop on line and completely understands the ease of it.  So, in the near future we do hope to have ordering on line for in-store pick up.</p>
