 Yet another cupcake company?  No, we’re different…
1) We do not have a storefront. We instead sell at the weekly Barton Creek Farmers Market. Austin’s farmer’s markets are a thriving and unique community. They are better than a permanent location, as they encourage people to shop local and serve as a one-stop shop for produce, prepared specialty foods, live music, and family-centered fun!
2) At HCC we use fresh and when possible, organic and local ingredients. We believe in good, high-quality ingredients. We bake from scratch in small batches, and we do NOT use shortening. The purity of our cupcakes’ ingredients can and will be tasted.
3) This small business is the result of my mom Shella and me wanting to have a fun hobby. I grew up in a home that always smelled like fresh cookies and cakes. My mother’s warmth and love translated into such delicious confections. From an early age on, I knew I wanted to bake for others to share this same feeling, and I am fortunate to be able to share this experience with my mom. My mom Shella, a nurse with 20+ years of experience, has worked in home health, hospice, and geriatric care management. I followed in her footsteps but instead have focused on pediatric and family health, and I am now a master’s-prepared nurse, a Family Nurse Practitioner. We continue our day jobs in nursing, as we are both passionate about providing nursing care to the Austin community. But we both believe in doing everything you love, so we choose to do both – nursing AND baking.
Where do I get your cupcakes?
Come visit us at the Barton Creek Farmers Market every Saturday between 9AM and 1PM. We bring between 12 and 14 flavors to the market each week, but we recommend you come early to have the best selection. We offer pick up only – no delivery.
We do not fulfill orders during the week, Monday thru Friday, at this time.
Can I make a special order?
Yes, you can! Place your order by the Tuesday before for Saturday pick-up from the farmer’s market. We require a minimum of one-half dozen for any special order, but we can certainly accommodate larger orders as well. We offer pick up only – no delivery. If you are not emailing or using our online order form to order, please know we do not answer our phones between 8am and 5pm due to our day jobs. Calls will be returned after 5pm.

Do you offer special diet cupcakes?
Yes, we do! We offer vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free options. Contact Katie or Shella directly to discuss your diet restrictions. We understand the importance of avoiding cross-contamination with food-related allergies and sensitivities, and we do our best to ensure that it doesn’t happen. That said, we do bake in a commercial kitchen space that bakes regular items as well. Please note that we use coconut milk and soy in our recipes unless otherwise instructed.

How much are your cupcakes?
Do you do wedding cupcakes?
Yes, we do! We love being a part of wedding celebrations and truly care about our couples. We have catered over 200 weddings since 2008. Contact Katie to set up your complimentary tasting and consultation.

Do you bake out of your home?
No. State law requires we hold licenses to operate out of a commercial kitchen approved by the city. It is a commercial kitchen space that we share with others in the Pflugerville area, and it is closed to the public.
How do I store my cupcakes?
Your cupcakes will last for up to 3 or 4 days if properly stored. If you purchase the “sundae cup” packaging from the Barton Creek Farmers Market, you can keep the cupcakes stored this way at room temperature away from sun exposure and heat. We do have a few flavors that require refrigeration, but we will advise you of this when you place your order, come by the market to purchase, or come by the market for pick up. If your private order is packaged in bakery boxes, we suggest you transfer them to a Tupperware container if you do not plan to serve them that day. Again, store at room temperature away from sun exposure and heat unless instructed otherwise. Please note that we do not add preservatives to our product. As with any product containing fresh fruit, please be advised these flavors may have a shorter shelf life.
