Box o' Pops


Another threeFifty original, taking the concept of cake pops to a whole new level (that's right Starbucks, eat your little Rocky Road cake pops heart out). This little gem consists of chocolate cake and a secret ingredient hand whipped cream rolled up than dipped into a homemade coconut marshmallow cream. Remind you of anything? (Hostess Sno Balls, anyone?) I may go out on a limb here and say this is the best thing I have ever made...until next time. I just wish the picture made them look as amazing as they taste. Where is that food photographer when I need him!?

Baby steppin'

Well, I got my first piece of equipment today for my farmers market booth. Cup cake couriers. Now I can transport cupcakes and whoopee pies safely. Baby steps, right? I also have stickers on order so I can make the cake boxes look more professional...but I still have to order cake boxes, and many more things.
I also am working on a banner for the farmers market booth. Maybe someday I will start working on the legal stuff.
I need an assistant.
So, thats where we are here at threeFifty. Keep your fingers crossed, say a prayer or rub something lucky for me.

The Original Gangstas of the Whoopie Pie



Honestly, I have nothing to say...except, Yum! Oh, and if  you put them in the freezer, they taste just like ice-cream sandwiches. Enjoy (the picture).

German Chocolate




One of the best cake recipes of all time, German chocolate cake, originally called "the German's chocolate cake" was not actually invented in Germany, but rather by a Texas homemaker. Think that's confusing? Wait till' you wrap your tongue and mind around our German chocolate cupcakes...it'll put your head in a tizzy and your palate on cloud 9. And, you may need a at least a dozen...just for yourself.

I also have a recipe for German chocolate cake truffles and maybe even a German chocolate kicker in the near future.

Cake Kickers




What's that? Is it a s'more? A cookie? Cake?

Well, if you guessed all three than you are correct! Sorry, you don't win anything, though. What we have here is a threeFifty original, it is a graham cracker crust topped with chocolate cake topped with homemade marshmallow toasted and topped with shaved chocolate. I couldn't decide between cookie or cake so they are called "kickers". Remember that.

I am currently developing new flavors of "kickers", hopefully soon I will have a whole line of them. All kickers will be 3 layers like the above picture, just different flavors.

Marshmallow Madness


Back in ancient days the marshmallow plant was used as medicinal purposes for healing sore throats. Then, the Egyptians turned it into a candy and, of course, the French perfected it.
Ok, enough of the boring tidbits that make up the marshmallow's life story, lets just talk about how delicious a homemade marshmallow is compared to a store bought one. What you see in the above photograph are vanilla marshmallows with a caramel swirl. It's like biting into a chewy cloud of happiness and caramel. Like they say over at Red Robin, "Yum".

I know a marshmallow is not a cake...it's not even in the cake family. But, I've got something coming for you that will involve both cake and marshmallows, I just wanted to give you a little sample first.
