We're making a list...

...and checking it twice. Christmas in July? Oh, how nice!!!

So, we've been thinking. All of the baking we have been doing has left us craving our holiday favorites. Why should you only be able to enjoy them once a year?

Saturday July 28th and Sunday July 29th, we will be celebrating Christmas in July at Lovely. Stop by for some holiday cheer.

After all, who doesn't love a good fruit cake?

We're sorry, cupcakes!

With all the pie goings-on, we have started to feel very very sad for our beautiful little cupcakes.

We have neglected them, overlooked them, let them stand in the shadow of the pies... and for that we are truly sorry.

So today, these little babies are front and center. We have Carrot Cake, Vanilla, and Chocolate. Some are filled with our homemade jams and lemon curds, and some are good ol' fashioned topped-with-buttercream.

It is a Lovely day when pies and cupcakes can live in harmony!

Pie Mania!!!!

We have been rolling dough, lining pans, mixing fillings, and baking pies for days now...

We love pie mania!

And you seem to, as well.

We have pies and cobblerettes galore in the case today.

Pie not your thing? We of course still have cupcakes, cookies, petit fours, and dozens of other choices.

If we haven't met you yet, we can't wait to.

If we have, we can't wait to see you again.

Stop in soon!

We opened the doors of Lovely this Saturday and were so excited to finally bake for our neighbors, family, and friends!
