FUN AT THE NEWBURYPORT FARMERS MARKET

We had a great day yesterday at the ever popular market held on Sundays from 9am to 1pm at the Tannery parking lot on 50 Water St. in Newburyport. Our PartyCake booth was a hit...who doesn't like cake!? Those who arrived early on at the market were treated to free samples of mini cupcakes with Swiss meringue buttercream. The didn't last long!
We had three types fruit tarts for sale, plum, blueberry and peach. In addition we offered lemon cupcakes with raspberry filling and vanilla Swiss meringue buttercream and moist chocolate cupcakes filled with chocolate ganache and topped with a swirl of mocha Swiss meringue buttercream. Mmmmm...irrisistable.

But the show stopper by far were the six small cakes decorated with fondant frosting and designs. I had such fun creating them and I hope that those who bought them had as much fun eating them. We'll be back at the Newburyport Farmers Market on Sunday September 5th so I hope you'll all come for a visit. There are many local farmers with wonderful produce (many organic options), food sellers, craftsmen, and music. Hope you'll visit.    Check out the market website: http://www.thenewburyportfarmersmarket.org/.
