Happy Thanksgiving! Enjoy a sneak peak of my favorite Thanksgiving cupcake . . .

Bad News

I woke up this morning to my little guy crying for me, he was feeling pretty miserable. After the rough night he had we went to see what was going on and it looks like an ear infection. So I'll have to post-pone my cupcake give away so I can take care of my family. I hope you have a safe and meaningful Thanksgiving!

Young People's Art's Festival was Awesome!

As you know, The Cupcake Company taught a cupcake decorating class at Moscow's Young People's Arts Festival and we had a blast! It was pretty happening! I think it's wonderful and we can't wait to do it again; which looks like it will be next spring -April 2010. I want to take a moment and give a shout out to the University of Idaho's Elementary Education program! I had four volunteers come assist with cupcake decorating and they were AMAZING! They were excellent with the children, intuitive, self-motivated and professional. If only they were interested in a career with The Cupcake Company!



Moscow, you have beautiful, creative youth and it was a pleasure to work with them! The kids decorated 3 cupcakes each and they could choose to decorate either a penguin, turkey, owl, snowman, and/or a kitty. The Kids decorated 120 cupcakes!
Here's a couple of their cupcakes, the penguin was very popular! How could you resist the penguin though, he's so cute!



Here's another penguin, he never gets old! We also had a Yetty aka abominable snowman cupcake from one of the kids. Lot's of red mini-M&M's turned our cupcakes into crazed demon kitty's, snowmen, and penguins.



The Cupcake Company also had a booth at the Winter Market at the 1912 center this last Saturday as well. We were very happy to see our regulars and meet new customers! We sold out again. THANK-YOU! The next Winter Market will be December 5th 10am - 2 pm @ the 1912 center. Please feel free to come celebrate the Holidays with us, we enjoy seeing you!

Jupiter Sunrise

Jupiter Sunrise is named for one of our favorite bands. It is also The Cupcake Company's signature cupcake! It was the first catering order I ever received and it is by far one of my personal bests. I can never say that one cupcake flavor is my favorite because I REALLY DO like all of them! Which flavor I want to enjoy just depends on my mood. But if I had to name one or swear to never apply a french manicure to my nails or toes again for the rest of my life - I would name Jupiter Sunrise as the lucky cupcake.

Gluten Freedom Cupcakes

That's right my friends, we certainly do have gluten-free cupcakes! One of The Cupcake Company's newest friends Miss Blair V. brainstormed this flavor combination up and it is wonderful! Though originally intended for gluten free consumption we won't leave the carb-loving heathens behind - this cupcake comes in chocolaty gluten-packed goodness too.

Cinnamon Chocolate

Last Farmers Market . . .

It wouldn't be right if I didn't make sure the first thing that I said was THANK-YOU, THANK-YOU, THANK-YOU! We are so happy to report that the Cupcake Company has enjoyed its first Farmers Market here in Moscow with unimaginable success, every Saturday we sold out of all of our cupcakes. It's so nice to find that Moscow enjoys cupcakes as much as we do. And if things continue to go as they are going our plans to open a cupcake cafe will be able to happen sooner than we anticipated. We will keep you posted! Here's some quick shots of our Halloween table at the Farmer's Market. It was fun to end on a festive note!

Snickerdoodle

It doesn't get any better than this!
