Here are a few flavors we’ve crafted so far:

Classic Vanilla
A soft, tender vanilla cupcake made with real vanilla and simple, natural ingredients. Light, comforting, and timeless — the kind of classic that never needs dressing up to shine.

Classic Chocolate
Rich, moist chocolate cake with a deep cocoa flavor and a smooth, satisfying crumb. Not too sweet, not too heavy — just honest chocolate done right.

Double Chocolate

Black Velvet
A deeper, richer take on classic velvet cake — naturally tinted, subtly cocoa‑forward, and lifted with a touch of brewed coffee for warmth and depth. Soft, smooth, and quietly bold without ever feeling heavy.

Almond
A delicate almond‑infused cupcake with a fine, buttery crumb and a warm, nutty aroma. Simple, fragrant, and beautifully balanced.

S'mores
Chocolate or vanilla base, filled with a touch of smooth fudge and topped with our homemade marshmallow crème, lightly singed with a flame for that perfect toasted finish.

Lavender Vanilla
A soft, fragrant lavender‑infused cupcake with a light, tender crumb. The floral notes are gentle and pair beautifully with a smooth, creamy vanilla frosting. Elegant, calming, and just sweet enough.

Tie‑Dye Vanilla Cupcakes — Naturally Colored & Swirled
Our Tie‑Dye Vanilla Cupcakes are a burst of color inside and out — made completely with natural dyes. Each cupcake starts with our signature vanilla batter, then gets hand‑swirled with vibrant hues created from real ingredients like turmeric, strawberries, and matcha. The result is a marbled, tie‑dye cake with sunny yellows, berry pinks, and cool blues baked right into every bite. On top, we finish each cupcake with a smooth swirl of naturally tinted frosting to match the colors inside. No artificial dyes, ever — just whole‑food color and a little Side Yard Bakery magic.

Confetti
Baked from scratch with pure, natural ingredients and naturally colored sprinkles — no artificial dyes, flavors, or shortcuts. Soft, tender vanilla cake with cheerful confetti throughout makes these the perfect treat for birthdays, celebrations, or a simple moment of joy.

In accordance with the Michigan Cottage Food Law, we are unable to offer any frosting that requires refrigeration.
