New Summer Flavor

Hi Everyone!

Hope you had a great weekend! I was at the farmer's market this weekend and snagged the most BEAUTIful key limes. I was actually buying mangoes from this one guy and spotted the key limes. Anyhow, they are devine and I'm thrilled to be able to bring back "Tropical Lime". This flavor had disappeared from our menu because of the lack of decent supply in these parts. I was told by the farmer that sold them to me that they should be here through the end of August. Hurray for key limes! Our Tropical Lime cupcake is infused through and through with freshly squeezed juice and aromatic zest from these terrific key limes. The topping is a lime-tinged cream cheese frosting. Try one today!

Open July 4th

Hi Everyone! We've been getting a lot of questions about our July 4th hours and I'm happy to let you know we will be operating during our normal business hours from 9am to 6pm. Our cupcakes will be decked out in red and blue stars for the holiday so place your order today!

This is one of my favorite holidays and I can't wait to see the fireworks at Lenox this year. Have a great 4th of July!

Custom Cupcakes

We are getting more and more requests to customize our cupcakes and most times, we don't mind veering off from our regular path. Opening up to requests for themed cupcakes has turned out to be as much fun for us as they are for our customers.

That being said, we have had to turn down some projects that involved certain body parts. Anyone seen the episode of Cake Boss where Buddy's mom put her foot down on a certain project? That's exactly what I mean. As much as we'd like to take on fun projects, I'm not sure we're there yet. Have a Super Monday!

Let's come together

Literally everywhere I go, I hear stories of people being laid off, losing their homes, and going through financial hardship. Turn on CNN and it’s all about the economic downturn. It can be so depressing. However, there are some stories of hope as you can see from this article on CNNMoney.com (thanks to @rosinaseydel on Twitter for the link to the article).

Wondering what you can do to help?
Buy local – Behind every small business is a family that has invested time and money, quality time with each other in order to fulfill their dream of starting their own business. Let's help them stay afloat - it's a win-win for both parties. Scored big this weekend on fresh vegetables from a farmer at my neighborhood farmers market. The smile on his face was priceless.
Offer support – A kind word goes a long way in lifting up a person’s spirits. If nothing else, words of encouragement can inspire people to get back on their feet and try again.
Do something nice for a stranger – Some time ago, a lady gave me a 50% off coupon while I was in line at a store. It may seem small but this kind gesture made me want to turn around and do something nice for the next person.

Just to get the ball rolling, if you know anyone in the metro-Atlanta area that has been laid off or going through some tough times, let us know and we’ll take them a free box of cupcakes on your behalf. That ought to make them smile. I’ve got approval to give away 20 boxes through the end of June so let’s see how it goes.

Did you know that children laugh about 400 times a day while adults only laugh 15 times a day? How did we lose 385 laughs from childhood to adulthood?
