{Feature} Baby Cakes

SouthernBabyCakes is a new shop on Etsy, that creates handmade Cakeballs. Shop Owners Luanne and Rachel are a mother-daughter team from Texas. The duo specializes in gourmet cakeballs using only the best quality ingredients such as Callebaut Belgian chocolate, Madagascar vanilla and Vietnamese cinnamon.
Luanne and Rachel have been making cakeballs for years as gifts and treats for family. Throughout the years they became very popular and highly requested at all family events.

In 2009 Rachel graduated from college and went to work for her parents company after not being able to find anything more permanent. This is when Rachel convinced her mother that they should start their own business. Selling their amazing cakeballs, which they experimented with. Trying other cakeballs from specialty bakeries and using their friends and family as taste testers, they threw away a lot of cakes until they came up with their current method now. Which I must say is fantastic and I really can't say enough about how tasty, delicious and beautiful their treats are.

Rachel and her mother Luanne are also very different than other bakers, in that they are only bakers at night and work full time in the day. They also make their cakeballs to order and in small batches to assure freshness and quality in taste.

Baby Cakes sent me a dozen of their cakeballs in each flavor they offer. As soon as I opened the package I was pleased, the packaging is adorable and very classy.



Then I opened the box and there they were. 12 beautiful little cake balls. I couldn't wait to pop one in my mouth and either could Finley. Babycakes says on their etsy site that the cakeballs are good for 2 weeks...Um ours didn't even last 2 hours barely. Haha.




Finley Loving her Birthday Cake Cakeball.

My favorite cakeball is the Coconut cake. To die for! Seriously a little peice of paradise heaven, no joke.


All of the flavors were wonderful and tasted just like they should. You know when a cake or candy is supposed to have a certain flavor and it either is way too strong, not strong enough or doesn't even taste close to the flavor it should? Well Babycakes has no problem getting the perfect flavors in there. Everything tasted wonderful and full of just the right flavors. Rachel and Luanne have also been able to accomadate to nut and gluten allergies as well.
Go visit SouthernBabyCakes on their Etsy site and their website, and order a box of their scrumptious cakeballs for your honey this Valentines Day. These would be the perfect Valentine treat, a little different then a box of chocolates, handmade and absolutely delish!
