Carolina Herrera Madison Avenue Windows Fall 2014 Our Coverage Sponsored by Special Cakes, of Queensbury New York

Special Cakes was founded and is owned and operated by Brittany Alexander and Megan Alexander, sisters. Brittany, a musical theater major, attended Ithaca College, and graduated with a Bachelor of Science from SUNY New Paltz in 2000. Megan graduated from Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey with a Bachelor of Science in Accounting in 2004 and became a certified public accountant in 2008. After college, Brittany and Megan both worked in the business world, but always craved a creative pursuit outside of the office. Brittany and Megan were raised in an atmosphere that valued aesthetics, ingenuity, and creativity. The importance of home and family was always prevalent and relationships with each other made every day a special day. One way the Alexanders (as so many do) always enjoy or celebrate life, each other, and the day is by making and sharing a baked treat! - and sharing baked treats with their pups! They call these treats special treats. It eventually became clear to Brittany and Megan that they could focus their efforts on creating an entity that would celebrate the uniqueness and importance of everyone by creating personalized cupcakes; Special Cakes. Brittany and Megan formed the LLC, designed a commercial kitchen, built the website and started the brand. Special Cakes celebrates people. Special Cakes believes that everyone has certain gifts, talents and abilities to share with the world and Brittany and Megan enjoy sharing theirs by making people feel special with cake! Special Cakes operates like a couture fashion design studio. Special Cakes discusses the cupcake design desired, creates a sketch of how it will appear, and then creates the custom cupcake toppers. Everyone at the party gets the decoration and it is unique to each client. The goal is to make the client feel special by bringing their idea to fruition in the prettiest way possible and, of course, to enjoy! Special Cakes is in its first year of business and is headquartered out of the owners’ other business, Country House Bed & Breakfast. Special Cakes began with local cupcake delivery. Since then, Special Cakes has expanded its product lines to include national shipping of personalized jumbo, fairy, and mini cupcakes, cupcake toppers, decoration kits, deconstructed cupcake kits, cookies, and dog treats, and local delivery of personalized cupcakes, pies, homemade soups, cookies, candy, dog treats, and cakes! Life should be celebrated and Special Cakes is thrilled to offer products that might just make life that much sweeter.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
