New Nashville Wedding Find: Naticakes (Cupcakes) - Making Life Sweeter
Monday, January 18, 2010
I love cupcakes. I’m not going to lie, I don’t think I want to see the cupcake trend go away anytime soon.
Naticakes is in a quaint, cozy coffee shop on Main Street in Downtown Franklin. It is locally owned and operated by Nicole Sloan who founded naticakes to honor her niece Natalie who, at just 23 months, passed away. According to their website, “Nati’s gift of laughter and love for sweets was the perfect recipe to inspire her aunt Nicole to create a cupcake concept that is almost as sweet as this little girl.”

With cupcake names like Pretty Princess, Tuxedo, Opera Cake and Hi Hat, this is not your ordinary cupcake shop with run-of-the-mill flavors. The frosting is light and tasty, and the cake is dense enough to be substantial, but not so heavy that you can’t have more than one. The flavors are all distinct, and you’re not left with an overwhelming sugar rush that brings you crashing down. You can tell that good ingredients were used, and the cakes taste like no other. Especially if you’re a fan of Italian buttercream icing - this is the cupcake place for you.

Naticakes caters events and can accommodate large orders. Not only are their cupcakes delicious, they’re visually stunning as well. These pretty liners are such a great touch - it’s a cupcake cake table fit for a deluxe bride.

I like to support local entrepreneurs and support fellow local businesses. With 10% of Naticakes’ profits going to the Natalie Wynn Carter Foundation to improve the lives of children, not only will you be supporting a local entrepreneur, you’ll also contribute to a worthy cause. What a tasty way to help others - the ultimate win/win.

Blogging is something I’ve enjoyed doing for years. My interests lie mostly in lifestyle related topics like fashion, style, design, food and weddings. When I heard Ashley was looking to bring on new members to the ABG team, I jumped at the opportunity - I can’t think of a better way to stay involved in weddings than to write about them and to stay in touch with the trends and new ideas. Lucky for me, Ashley likes my blog and trusts my experience to bring me on and so far, it’s been a blast.
