Enjoy Cupcakes (est 2009)

When I was a little girl, “grown-ups” always asked, “what do you want to be when you grow up?”  I faithfully answered, “a baker!”  I was very determined and started my professional journey at the age of fifteen.  I began my day at 4:00 am, working as a pastry chef intern at a five star hotel before attending school.  I continued on working for established, respected bakeries and was educated in the art of baking.  After college I was lured by art & design and worked for 7 years as a design studio manager for the Flavia Co. in Santa Barbara, California.  I also worked alongside my husband, facilitating corporate events, for nearly 8 years. 15 years later I am doing what I proclaimed to do as a child...I am a baker, never losing my passion!  

Enjoy Cupcakes was established April 1st 2009 and currently has one storefront location in Los Olivos and one in Buellton, CA where I am continually inspired by local produce, flavors, wines and respect for food.  I take advantage of the ingredients that grow in my yard and what the local farmers are offering for sale.  Check out our menu page to see this week's flavors or view our flavors page for a complete list of flavors.

 

Enjoy Bagels + Sweets (est 2020)

Kevin & Amber Vander Vliet, the owner operators of Enjoy Cupcakes (founded 2009) have been wanting to offer delicious house-made bagels to the Santa Ynez Valley for a couple of years. Scheduling challenges and demands of Enjoy Cupcakes overpowered that desire. But then COVID-19 struck and traumatized our world. We were suddenly left with more time and need to diversify our baked goods line. So Kevin is finally making, boiling and baking his bagel creations. Enjoy Bagels + Sweets launched in March 2020 with a delivery service & are now open to the public. 

Offering 8 unique bagel flavors, 8 cream cheese schmears, 10 bagel sandwiches & our full sweets line at our original bakery facility in Buellton
