You guys are so awesome! I loved them ALL! But I got to say, my hat is off to Jade!

The cupcakes turn into pumpkins at 9pm so gives us a jingle 208-360-2272.

92.5 KRFP FM Radio - CUPCAKE GIVE AWAY!

Wow, pretty exciting huh! All I can keep thinking is "WOW! That was so NEAT-O!" with a big perma-grin on my face as I blush! If I never sell another cupcake (not in our plans) at least these last 3 weeks have been really fun! We were guests on the David Jerusalem program today @ 2pm - the above picture is David Jerusalem from 92.5 KRFP diggin into our Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough cupcake. He was very willing to take this nice action shot ;)



This is myself :)



And here is Johnny TOTALLY in his element! When he was a kid, he had a pirate radio show that he would broadcast on occasion in Wasilla, AK. If you got a chance to listen, I hope it was enjoyable. If not we'll be getting a CD of it and we'll post it for you to listen to over and over till you puke!

Now the fun part!

CUPCAKE GIVE AWAY!
I made some cupcakes to take to the good people of 92.5 FM and I have some more to share so in order to get your name in the drawing all you have to do is:

1. Make up a sentence or jingle that incorporates 1 or more of the cupcake flavors that are listed at the right and post it. For example:

Monica said "I'm having a Black Tie Affair with Heidi's cupcakes," 9/21/09

So clever, in fact Monica you get a cupcake today because I just LOVE that you said this last time!

OR

2. Add The Cupcake Company's button to your blog. I just figured out how to create a super-cute Cupcake Company Button. If you scroll up it's at the right. All you have to do is add a Html gadget and copy and paste the script listed next to our button at the right. Then when people smell that amazing post cupcake consumption breath that you have and ask, "Where do you get such fabulous Cupcake breath from?" You can say, "The Cupcake Company, just click on the cute cupcake on my blog and check it out!" Then just post a comment and let me know your blog has a button and you want a piece of the cupcake action tonight.

I'll post names of the winners tonight at 8pm pm and then you can call me
208-360-2272 to get directions to your cupcakes. Good Luck!

Happy Birthday!

It's my Birthday today! And I got some exciting news - this morning David Jerusalem with 92.5 KRFP FM Radio called and wants to do an interview with The Cupcake Company tomorrow from 2pm to 3pm! Wow, what a great way to start a Birthday; I'd say we can call it good! We'll just top it off with some cupcakes and friends this evening and I'm good to go!

Nothing like a Cupcake High . . .

Sticky fingers, little mouths smeared with frosting and chocolate, eyes that light up as they run back and forth over the smooth swirled frosting, crisp clean white boxes with cupcakes tucked neatly inside. I just LOVE "the pause," in someones footsteps as they try to continue onward and finally, the capitulation when I offer to tell them about our flavors. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it because I have felt the exact same rapid succession of thoughts when I pass by a bakery or see piles of cookies strategically displayed. It's a dream and who doesn't want to share that with others? I'm having so much fun and I just want to say THANK-YOU!

Though, sometimes I wonder if I'm the ice cream man that brings joy in the hot dusty summer afternoon or the wicked witch in the gingerbread house enticing calorie-conscious adults away from the stale trail of bread crumbs to come feast at my door. I prefer the anecdotal parallel of the ice cream man, it's a better example for my children to emulate.

I know this is hard to believe but I did almost double the amount of cupcakes I brought and we still sold out quicker than I anticipated. So next week I'm doubling it again!

Thanks, to Omie Drawhorn from the Moscow Pullman Daily News, she interviewed me this morning for an article in their business section. I was SO nervous, I was the biggest dork ever I'm sure; but Omie was so chill and easy going, she was a natural. Unlike me, I don't think I could have spelled my name if she asked me. So look for an article on The Cupcake Company in the paper :)

And I'm so glad that Nate and his girlfriend, Kristy, found me this week! They came looking for me last Saturday and I was in a different spot. They had my cupcakes the weekend before last Saturday (confused yet?) and were so excited they came back again and couldn't find me; so they emailed the Saturday market people to get my contact information. Talk about people who know what they like and take care of business, work-it! It was great to meet you two!

How to place an Order . . .

STEP 1

Choose our Cupcakes over free samples at Costco . . . Congratulations, you've completed the first part of The Cupcake Company's custom order process!!

STEP 2

Send us an email or gives us a jingle at least 3-5 days prior to the commencement of your EDCC (Expected Date of Cupcake Consumption) so we can block off space on our calender just for you. If you are looking for something more meaningful for your special occasion then check out Personalized Cupcake Orders.

email heidiobarr@yahoo.com
phone 208-360-2272

STEP 3

We will call you within 24 hrs to discuss your cupcake flavor selection. We will also send you an email with all the cupcake flavor particulars so you can mull it over at length. I myself have a hard time deciding between Jupiter Sunrise, Molotov Mint, Black Tie Affair, and Banana Carmel. AHHhh-mee sigh, choices, choices, choices . . .

Minimum order for

$18 Reg. (traditional size) cupcakes 1 doz
$40 Lg. (approx. 3x larger than the Reg. cupcakes) cupcakes 1 doz

FYI*

If you need to cancel an order due to appendicitis and crazed alien invasion, no problem we understand. If their is any possible way to anticipate either of these events 48 hrs prior to their occurrence and your EDCC please find time between emergency surgery and the aliens hostile take over to give us a jingle. Though, you may be able to use our cupcakes to barter with the extraterrestrial beings. Unfortunately, we can't help you with emergency surgery, we are not currently licensed to preform emergency appendectomies and last I heard surgeons won't work for cupcakes . . . .

The Martin Institute

I want to give a big thanks to the Martin Institute, Mary Jo and Joel, for booking my first catering event in the Moscow area. The Martin Institute is a center for peace studies and conflict resolution through the University of Idaho. It was really exciting getting their cupcake order together and I can't wait until they have another gathering that requires cupcake catering.

The Winners Are . . . .

I had Gunner draw all of the winners. That way it's absolutely fair - wouldn't want to start a cupcake war. I loved all of your comments, I wish I had enough cupcakes to give to everybody because you're all so clever! You made my night!
