"Pure joy in a box?

Mouth watering treat?

Succulent mood enhancer?


Yes, yes… and yes. These are all ways that I would describe Truly Custom Crunch from Truly Custom Cakery. Not only is it one of my very favorite indulgences, I love to put a bowl of it out when company comes over – it’s pretty much guaranteed to be the very first empty bowl on my table.

Truly Custom Crunch is an “irresistible combination of pecans, almonds, and popcorn, coated with caramel toffee and drizzled with rich dark chocolate.”

For the past year I've been told that I should try coloring Truly Custom Crunch to make it more "festive" for various holiday's. It goes without saying that red was suggested for Valentine's Day. So, with this lover's holiday fast approaching, I thought I'd better get myself to the kitchen and start experimenting.

It went pretty well but I'm so used to seeing Truly Custom Crunch in its caramel dress code, that I'm not real sure how I feel about the color change. So I'd really like your feedback. There are two options below. One is all red and the other is a mix of traditional with a little splash of color. Comment on this post with your favorite and perhaps even why its your favorite and you will be automatically entered to win!

Option 1 is a mix.

Option 2 is all red.

Deadline to enter is Sunday the 16th of January at midnight EST. The winner will be chosen by Random.org.

If you are the chosen winner, a 9oz gift box of Truly Custom Crunch will be shipped direct to your door! It's a mouthwatering combination of pecans, almonds, and popcorn, coated with caramel toffee and drizzled with rich dark chocolate!


Thanks for your input!!!

This was a fun one for me... I sent a package to Doc and Andie of Philly's Country Music Radio Station 92.5 XTU. And Andie just LOVED it! I was dancing around my living room when she posted on my facebook wall.

Kristie Wooten - OMG Stacey!! I received your package and your Crunch is incredibly YUMMY!!!! I ate a whole bag by myself last night, I couldn't stop...lol Thank you soooo very much:)

Nate Davis - So here's the deal on the crunch... We were going to save 2 bags for stocking stuffers and eat 1 bag. So we waited till the kids were in bed and then as Jen was sampling the first bag she says "can you bring the other two bags in before we start this movie?" It was great. We ate it all! If I had a tub I would have eaten the whole thing. It was incredible!

Fran Simrak - Stacey, today I gave my neighbor, Toni, a bag of the Crunch and shared with her and her husband some left over pound cake from your shop.
She called me and said that the Crunch,"was the best thing that ever hit my mouth!" Then she told me that the pound cake was the best she ever had.

Thanks to EVERYONE who made this holiday such a huge whopping success! And stay tuned! Crunch is getting dressed up for Valentine's Day in a nice shade of Red!!

A story about a little "Crunch".

Tradition had always been that on Black Friday, I'd spend the whole day making my Christmas Candies. I made Turtles, my mom's version of a thin mint, chocolate covered raisins (my husband's favorite), almond bark, toffee, truffles, peanut butter cups, etc. etc. etc. Every year the box evolved a little and I was always on the lookout for new ideas. A few years earlier I'd had a product that was delightful but no longer available. So...


I started researching and soon came up with a "test" recipe I could try. Thankfully with a little tweaking Truly Custom Crunch was born and from that point on, it was a staple in my holiday candy packages.

Then the recipe requests started. "But what will I give you for Christmas?", was always my reply. The next question kind of surprised me. They started asking me to sell it to them since I wouldn't share my recipe, because they wanted to give it to their friends and family as well.


So what is it you ask? It's my special toffee caramel recipe cooked "just so" and then poured over pecans, almonds, and popcorn, after which it is coated with a rich dark chocolate drizzle. It's a wonderful blend of salty sweet with a touch of chocolate. The nuts add an extra burst of texture and flavor, the popcorn is perfectly crisp, and it truly does melt in your mouth!

Mama Cheaps and I met a while back at a mutual friends baby shower. I was too funny because I had recently taken up blogging to chronicle my cake journey and she and her sister were discussing of all things "blogging". We got to talking, exchanged cards, and the rest is History! I've gotten some FANTASTIC deals through Mama Cheaps research. And quite frankly with the economy, budget living, and my penny pinching, her site is right up my alley! YOU MUST check out her website, sign up for the newsletter, and take advantage of all the fantastic deals and offers that are available to you. Besides, if you save money on the necessities, you have more money for the fun stuff, like CAKE!!!

The following post comes directly from Mama Cheaps Website.



Sometimes you just fall into some good. Very good.

I was first introduced to Stacey, owner of Truly Custom Cakery, several years ago. She was a good friend of a friend. I remember talking to her about a business that she had recently started- her own cake shop. She gave me her business card and I came home and pulled up her shop's blog on my computer. To put it plainly: I was blown away. One of my guilty pleasures is to watch those cake design/decorating shows on TLC, mostly Ace of Cakes. The cakes that I saw on Stacey's site were easily on par with some of the neatest cakes that I have seen on TV. They are that beautiful and creative.

Then in April my sister ordered a mini cake for her daughter's first birthday. She wanted her daughter on top along with their 2 dogs. The cake was over-the-top cute- attention to detail and skill were obvious.

But how many times do you encounter a beautifully designed cake that ALSO tastes delicious? In my experience, it's pretty rare. Not with Truly Custom Cakery. Ava's 1st Birthday mini cake was double chocolate with buttercream icing. My sister was nice enough to send us home with leftovers. SO UNBELIEVABLY GOOD! Tasty and moist- perfection.

So this year when we decided to throw a triple birthday party for myself, Biker Bob AND Lily Bean (all of our birthdays are in September!) it was a no-brainer that we needed a Truly Custom Cakery cake at our party. I called Stacey and we decided on a size and flavor. After that I told her that I just wanted something super fun. I mentioned that we were calling the party "Weaverpalooza"- so she could take that theme and run with it. Run she did! Check out this cake!!





Tasted GREAT, looked AMAZING, totally impressed our guests. We couldn't have been happier!

Truly Custom Cakery is also the genius behind a succulent concoction called Truly Custom Crunch. Truly Custom Crunch is an "irresistible combination of pecans, almonds, and popcorn, coated with caramel toffee and drizzled with rich dark chocolate."

Need I say more?



It should come as no surprise to you that Truly Custom Cakery was recently named the #1 Philadelphia Cake Shop beating out 21 other competitors on Philly's Hot List. They've always been my #1 pick and I am so excited that the word is getting out about how amazing their cakes and crunch are.

Their prices also surprised me. Don't expect to take a 2nd mortgage out just to afford one of these creations. These cakes are a total triple threat- they look great, they taste even better and the price tag won't break the bank.

To celebrate their Philly Hot List victory, Truly Custom Cakery wants to give 1 lucky Mama Cheaps reader a 2.5 lb package of Truly Custom Crunch shipped to their door. If a local reader wins, they may choose between the Truly Custom Crunch or a $50 gift certificate towards a cake purchase!
