Feature Sponsor: haZelbasil

It's been brought to our attention a few times that as twins one of us is a movie and the other is a book.  HaZel Lyn D. Rider is the movie and you should watch hers if you know what's good for you.   Even as a kid, she was always artistic.  She colored softly within the lines, drew without having to trace and even buttered her toast smoothly with grace.  This I vividly remember because I couldn't understand the concept of a soft touch as I looked back and forth between hers and my butchered and holey toast.  She's translated her gift well with graphic design and is a Prize Sponsor this year.

It's fitting that she's the movie for Hazel has worked in the movie industry in L.A. and has created DVD covers and various promotional materials.  She also creates movie posters, postcards, flyers, ads, logos, websites, business cards, special event invitations, handmade stationary, t-shirts, and even cuts her own envelopes made from vintage thrift store books. And you guessed it, she is the edgy creator of CupcakeCamp Charleston's flyer and postcard that you've seen around town!

You should hire her.  She can be reached at http://www.hazelbasil.com or call her at 843.670.3819.  Her products are available at http://hazelbasil.etsy.com.  When you hire her, tell her the book sent you!

Feature Sponsor: Peach Tree Bakery

Peach Tree Bakery is a family owned and operated business by husband and wife team Brenda and Larry Hill. Originally from West Virginia, they opened their first bakery, Aunt B's in 1996. Wanting to move to a warmer climate, they visited Goose Creek in January of this year and noticed there wasn't a local bakery so they moved shortly after, opening in July. This makes their bakery one of the newest additions to the ever expanding Goose Creek and one of CupcakeCamp Charleston's Sponsors.

Peach Tree Bakery specializes in made-from-scratch baked goods. A delicious variety is baked each day using fresh, quality ingredients and no preservatives. What separates them from other bakeries is their collected recipes from family and fiends. All types of cakes, cookies, pies, pastries, wedding cakes, snack cakes, etc. are custom-made on the premises.

Stop by today and come back often!  Enjoy their homemade and nostalgic goodies the way your granny made them!  Visit their website, www.peachtreebakery.com and become a fan on their Facebook page www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Goose-Creek-SC/Peach-Tree-Bakery/151723744852325.  Brenda and Larry can be reached at the bakery, 843.797.5234.  When you see them at CupcakeCamp Charleston, high five them with a smile!

Love,

Featured Vendor: FashionFynlie

FashionFynlie is the brain child of Amy Hutchins.  Her daughter, Fynlie is the model for FashionFynlie's hair accessories. It started when her husband noticed that commercial infant bows didn't fit their daughter properly and left marks on her head.  Fueled by creativity and inspiration, Amy decided to create her own versions. Out and about, people started noticing Amy's hair creations; thus, FashionFynlie started flying off the shelves!  FashionFynlie uses colorful ribbons and lace with theme buttons as part of her design. Custom orders are available such as team sports, animals, fruits, flowers, etc. at her Etsy store.

Amy wears many creative hats.  Not only is she a wife and mommy, she is a Real Estate Broker Associate and Interior Designer/Stager.  When Amy is not spending time with her adorable family, her keen eye is looking out for cool finds in antique and secondhand shops.  For more information, visit her Etsy store www.etsy.com/people/FashionFynlie.  She can be reached at fashionfynlie@gmail.com.  Buy her bows for your precious babies' heads! She will be at the Vendors area at this year's CupcakeCamp Charleston.

Feature Sponsor: Buttercup Bake Shop

We jumped up and clicked our heels (or tried to) when we received a Prize donation from Buttercup Bake Shop in New York City.  That's right, metro en masse, all the way from New York City!

Buttercup Bake Shop is owned by Jennifer Appel.  We think it's pretty cool that she turned her hobby into a career for the sweets! Jennifer owns two locations of Buttercup Bake Shop.  Unfortunately for us, they're both in New York City (midtown Manhattan and Upper West Side).  Buttercup Bake Shop has been featured on MTV, Fox, CNN and in tons of magazines like The New York Times, People Magazine, Entertainment Weekly, Cosmopolitan, The Wall Street Journal and Zagat Guide.  She is also the author of several bakery cookbooks so it's safe to say she's a champion of cupcakes!

At Buttercup Bake Shop, you can enjoy several types of cupcakes, all kinds of cakes, pies, cheesecakes, assorted bars and squares, and trifles!  When you're not in the city, you can order online at http://buttercupbakeshop.com or call them at 212.350.4144/212-787-3800.  Sad to say again, but they only deliver to corporate and residential addresses in Manhattan and Long Island City (insert ARRRGGHHH).  For more information, visit http://buttercupbakeshop.com.  Become a Facebook fan www.facebook.com/ButtercupBakeShop and follow them on Twitter http://twitter.com/buttercupNY.  For more pretty pictures, click here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/buttercupny.
