To sweeten up this Monday afternoon, we get to learn more about Libby - owner of Libby's Cupcakes Etc!
I recently had the opportunity to sit down and chat with Libby, and I must say, I am very impressed with her - and her awesome little cupcake business! She puts loads of love and care into each of her baking projects AND her products sell themselves...her cupcakes are absolutely beautiful & DE-licious!!
Libby and her business are semi-new to the FM wedding and event scene, but I know for a fact that we all will be seeing her name a lot more in this upcoming season (and years to come)...! We are definitely excited to see her yummy displays make their way out to Rustic Oaks! And I encourage our couples {that are still hunting for a baker} to contact Libby; she's a super sweet person- and her goodies are lovely, very fairly priced, and personalized to your taste/event!
Lastly, you definitely need to check out the Libby's Cupcakes Etc. blog! Her stuff is so creative and super fun to read; plus, it's full of lots of photos of her work!
{Meet Libby}
*A little about me...
Hi! I'm Libby Martin, owner and baker of Libby's Cupcakes Etc. I was born and raised in the the south but have called Moorhead, MN home for almost six years now. My background is in interior design but I gave that up to be a full time Mom when my husband and I moved here. We have two busy boys that keep life interesting. When I'm not baking or doing what Moms do best, I enjoy...anything relaxing!
*A little about my business...
I opened Libby's Cupcakes Etc. in June of 2011. What started as just a creative outlet quickly turned into friends asking me to bake for small events. In the last 18 months I've done almost a dozen weddings and countless birthday parties, baby showers, graduations and everything in between. In Janurary of this year I became a licensed baker in the City of Fargo baking out of the Square One Rental Kitchen & Event Center. I don't know exactly what the future holds, but I am excited to see how my business will continue to grow and change!
*My typical clientele...
While I have catered to all occasions and celebrations, I really enjoy doing weddings the most. There's something about working with brides to make sure their cupcakes and cake coordinate with the rest of their wedding style that meshes well my design background. And it is always such an honor to be even a small part of such a big moment in two people's lives.
*What sets me apart from my competition...
Real. Butter. Maybe it's the southern girl in me but I appreciate the thick, rich, creaminess of real butter butter cream. I think if you're going treat yourself to a cupcake, you should really indulge!
*A current wedding trend that I'm loving...
Burlap and flowers and ruffley things. I don't get much for girly stuff around here so when a bride comes to me with that simple, pretty style that's trending now, I gobble it up!
*What I can offer Rustic Oaks brides & grooms (and other special events clients)...
After we've met and decided on the specifics for the cake and cupcake design, I offer delivery and set up as well as cupcake/cake stand rentals. I take great care in making sure the dessert table looks fabulous. I also work well with event coordinators that might be on site. The goal is that once the client has set everything in motion, they can enjoy their special day hassle-free.
*The best way to see more of my work/learn more about my business...
If you'd like to see more of what I've done in the past and what's currently going on in my world, you can check out my blog or "like" Libby's Cupcakes Etc. on facebook.
*The best way to contact me...
