In 2011, she starred with Raven-Symoné in the show State of Georgia on ABC Family until its cancellation. Delfino performed in ABC's pilot The Family Trap starring Mandy Moore and Stockard Channing. She was eight months pregnant with her first child during the shooting, so director Shawn Levy shot around the pregnancy for the entire project. One month after giving birth, Delfino was cast as Dwight Schrute's sister, Fannie Schrute, on NBC's The Office attempted spin-off, The Farm. NBC did not greenlight the series. Delfino starred in CBS's Friends with Better Lives, where writers included her pregnancy in the storyline.

Her second album, Tarte, was released on April 23, 2007 by her own record company, Red Velvet Cake Records.
