We need your help!

As we draw closer to the announcement of the Hatch Detroit semi-finalists, we're gearing up for forward momentum. We will need your help to move forward in the contest.

Recap:

We have applied for a Hatch Detroit grant which will allow us to receive $50,000 from the generous donors at Comerica Bank and the Detroit Lions. This grant will assist us with the start-up funds for our brick and mortar. We will find out in the coming days whether or not we have progressed to the semi-finals. Please stay tuned as we will need your votes every day, twice a day, for at least 7 days! It will take about 30 seconds to access Facebook and the Hatch Detroit website in order to vote for us. Is that something you can and will help us with? A little birdie told me, there may also be some giveaways during the contest. What would you like to win? Comment below with your suggestions! If you would also like to be added to our email list so we are able to keep you up to date with the happenings of our bakery, please email us (terriscakesdetroit (at) gmail (dot) com), send us a private message or reply in the comments section.

So, you see, you are an integral part of this process! Since we have the best community of supporters around, we know that we can count on you to surpass our wildest dreams. Thanks for being amazing and being part of the positive force behind Terri's Cakes!

Stay tuned for updates!

Give back!

Today, I was thinking about the importance of giving back to the people that help you in life. This road, called life, can be hard to navigate. The truth is that no one becomes successful without the help of others who go before them and stride alongside them. It is a wise person who remembers that no person is an island and no world changer ever did it alone. If you're reading this, I know you have a dream. Everyone alive had something that God put in their heart to accomplish. No matter what it is, you should start now and never be afraid to ask for help. You never know when you'll come across someone who has the exact resource or knowledge that will finish the puzzle! Be open to discovering the purpose of every person and experience that life brings your way, and you can't lose. Once you reach your goals, go higher; but never forget to give back to the community that helped you get there!

Sharing is caring.

When I read a good book, I spread the word. I believe that when I find good information, or experience something wonderful, it is my privilege and responsibility to share the wealth. I love sharing, because sharing is caring and caring is GREAT! It’s like gift giving; I love showing how well I know someone by giving them the perfect gift. It expresses how much a person means to you, when you take time out of your busy schedule to share something that you know he or she will enjoy, and it lets that person know that he or she crossed your mind. Even if it’s just a kind word, or a smile; I encourage you to share a caring gesture today! It will warm your heart as must as the other person’s.

Hint: A cupcake is always a good idea. ;-)

Cupcake fact #2

The largest cupcake ever made weighed over a ton and had 600 pounds of frosting on top. SIX. HUNDRED. POUNDS. Talk about a diet wrecker! The cupcake was made by Georgetown Cupcake, Washington, DC's first gourmet cupcake bakery. I am a chocoholic, but I don't know if I could even call that appetizing. Lucky for us, Terri's Cakes has delicious, gourmet, regular sized cupcakes.

Grab one and see for yourself. ;-)

Let it go.

Do you stress out a lot? Stop it! Seriously; just don't.

You know all those things that are on your mind, constantly? Let them go; release yourself to a life of freedom from the heaviness of unnecessary stress. If someone wronged you six months ago, the only person you're hurting by not letting go, is yourself.

If you made a mistake yesterday, forgive yourself for being human and move forward. Above all else remember that everything will work out.

If all else fails, have a cupcake! ;-)

Say it with a cupcake!

We all have times when we need to express something, and words just won't do. You know; "I love you!", or "I apologize for royaly screwing up!". Flowers are ok, but the same old token can get played out. That's where Terri's Cakes comes in. Say it with a cupcake! Pick up one of our specialty cakes and express your appreciation in a delicious and unforgettable way!
