We are celebrating 4th of July with our delicious Red Velvet Cupcakes.  Red cake, white cream cheese frosting and festive red, white and blue sprinkles and flags on top.  Did we mention that our cupcakes are southern red velvet and not that weird imitation you get at some places?  If you have never tried our red velvet, do yourself a favor and order some up for yourself , your friends, family or even your office!  We will be closed on Monday the 4th, but you can order today for delivery on Saturday or Tuesday.  Have a great holiday weekend from Mardy’s Munchies.

We are so excited over here at Mardy’s Munchies!  Our cookies got a shout out in the latest Martha Stewart Weddings!  We put together mini-cookie bags for adult welcome boxes and the cookies were mentioned in a blurb.  You can read the blurb here. We work so hard and being a small bakery we do not have a p.r. team or a marketing team.  It’s just us.  When things like this happen it makes all of our hard work worth it. Someone noticed us.  It’s all because of you guys.  You support the bakery and you say great things about us, what more can a company ask for?

Our first summer festival is finally here. It’s called The Lummis Day Festival.  What is a Lummis?

Hello festival goers!  Lummis Day is almost here.  We will proudly be serving our yummy goodies at this festival on Sunday June 5th from 10a-5pm.  This festival is such a blast and is truly one of our favorites.  Live Music, poetry, art exhibits, activities for children and delicious food.  Entry to this festival is FREE! Click on this link about Lummis to read more about Lummis Day and the festival.  We hope to see all of you there.  If you do come to the festival, please stop by the tent and say hello.  We would love to see all of your faces.

Beverly Hills sometimes gets a bad wrap as being elitist and snobby.  We have quite a few customers who call over to our side of Los Angeles and want speciality cakes.  Most of the folks we deal with are quite lovely.  It could be because we provide a sweet service.  Speciality cakes are all the rage lately.  We don’t have any pictures of Steve’s speciality cakes on the site, but quite a few are posted on our Facebook Page.  If you have a need for a speciality cake, then please give us a shout. Is this a trend?  Are speciality cakes the new black?  We’re not sure, but you guys challenge us with every request.  Bring it on!

What a controversy this movie has stirred up among women! Some women feel as if all women should support the movie to send a message to Hollywood that women go to the movies too, not just 14 year old boys.  Other women don’t want to go because they feel like the movie is too raunchy and they want to support ‘good’ movies.  I have not seen the movie, but I plan too.  I so rarely get out, my sweet partner, Steve, will be watching our daughter while I enjoy an extremely rare night out.  We say however you feel about this movie, order some cupcakes, grab a drink and talk about social responsibility with your girlfriends.  Or just dish about anything you want! Being in Momland all the time, I realize the thing I miss the most is my girlfriend time. Have a great weekend ladies.

Mardy’s Munchies would like to wish every single Mom, Stepmom, Grandmother, Aunt etc a very Happy Mother’s Day.  There are not enough words in the English Dictionary to describe how amazing my mom is.  We’ve tried to give tribute to Steve’s Mom, Mardell.  Yes our little bakery was named after her, Mardy for short  - hence Mardy’s Munchies. We pay tribute to both of them. I am lucky to still have my mother with us, but Mardy passed away a few years ago.  We toast our Moms and all Moms today and every day.

We are in awe of Yelp. We admit it.  Our bakery is old meets new in every way.  We bake old fashioned recipes, but twist them into new concepts.  We embrace new technology to market and get the word out about our bakery.  We embrace square, facebook, twitter and recently discovered the power of Yelp.  Now most people only Yelp or review an item if they are unhappy, but we have been pleased to discover that people actually take the time to post something positive if they really loved what they purchased.  It’s amazing how powerful the internet is.  We invite you to Yelp about your experience with us.  We love getting feedback, it makes us better and you happier.

I specify this because a cupcakery deals solely in cupcakes.  We are a full-on Bakery.  We not only have delicious cupcakes, but we also have delicious fruit tarts with a streusel topping.  We have scrumptious dark chocolate brownies.  We make yummy dessert bars.  We have cookies and baby bread loaves and we also do cakes.  We take special requests and no order is too large or too small.  We are your neighborhood bakery and we are here to serve you!

Easter came so late this year, can you believe Mother’s Day is 2 weeks away?  We were stunned when we looked at the calendar.  If you haven’t had a chance to think about something nice for your mother, please consider ordering something from Mardy’s Munchies. Our bite-sized mini cupcakes are a wonderful way to send something sweet without ‘overloading’ on sugar.  Of course if cupcakes aren’t your moms thing, then we also have delicious cookies, tarts, breads and brownies to choose from.  Can’t make a decision?  Then order a party platter - it has a taste of almost everything on it!  We deliver all over L.A. and the surrounding area.  Get your order in early to insure a smooth delivery.  Have a great Monday everyone.
