The Cake Boss
When Tiz happened to catch a rerun of TLC’s “The Cake Boss” recently and came into work the next day and told us about it, we couldn’t believe what we were hearing. Words don’t do this segment justice. If you have a spare 90 seconds, we recommend you watch this and see why we think this woman should be named the Queen of all Bridezillas.

Everything Is Better With Butter
Did you see Tizzerts in the Charlotte Observer??
Here’s what Olivia Fortson had to say in the Charlotte Observer:
“Tiz Benson, founder of Tizzerts, created a special treat for celebrity chef Paul Deen when the Food Network star came to town April 13. Deen was at Park Road Books signing copies of her new book, “Savannah Style.”
Benson whipped up one of her Lemon Raspberry cakes decorated with spring flowers and icing that read “Everything Is Better With Butter – We Love You Paula!” and delivered it to Deen in person at the book signing.

Classy Cupcakes
Need a dessert for your next soiree? Consider cupcakes. More and more people are opting for cupcakes over their larger sister sweets. They’re even popping up in tiers as a whimsical wedding alternative. Being small definitely has its advantages:
More choices. Cupcakes allow you to give your guests more flavor options, both for filling and icing.
Less mess. At least, that is, for you. Handheld treats take forks and plates out of the equation, making clean-up much easier on the host.
Second chances. If there are leftovers (and you have the will power not to eat them for breakfast the next morning), they’re easy to freeze and save for another occasion.
Tizzerts cupcakes come in seven saliva-inducing flavors: Vanilla Cream, Lemon Raspberry, Coconut Cloud, Boston Cream, Chocolate Espresso, Chocolate Chocolate, and Carrot Pecan, which we top with the crème-de-la-crème of cream cheese frostings.
All of Tizzerts’ delicious cupcakes come beautifully presented and packaged on the outside, with a squirt of filling on the inside for added flavor and freshness. Want something extra special? Ask Tiz about her customized cupcake options. For an extra $3 per dozen, she can add a buttercream design of your choosing: Rose, Apple Blossom, Polka Dots, Daisy or Sprinkles. Talk about icing on the cupcake!
Tizzerts cupcakes cost $27 per dozen, or $30 per dozen with the custom buttercream décor. They’ll keep up to four days in the fridge or two weeks in the freezer.

One of Tiz’s favorite online indulgences is Cake Wrecks
If you haven’t visited this blog, you’ve got to see for yourself, but their description, “When Professional Cakes Go Horribly, Hilariously Wrong,” pretty much says it all. It’s like Jay Leno’s Headlines segment where he would show funny typos from magazine and newspapers… only with cakes instead. Please note that all of these cake-tastrophes were made by professionals (i.e. someone actually paid for these… bless their hearts).
We love the creepy baby cake post, and this wedding cake gone awry (don’t worry, brides, we’d reel you in before it went that far).
Cake Wrecks provides hours of side-splitting procrastination. But as much as we love checking out the wreckage, we’re also happy to report that Tizzerts is wreck-free. In other words, we’d never do this:
It’s even more hilarious once you
