From time to time we'll be doing special events and parties and you won't see us on the street that day.

The Truck will not park today (Thursday)
The old girl needs a bit of work and we need to take care of her as she's been taking care of us.
We will be back in action tomorrow (Friday) when we will have the usual Red Velvet and Chocolate as well as Coconut and Lemon. And for all those who've been asking, Marshmallow Frosting!

I love "cut & paste" but...
It's not always the best idea when you're in a hurry. What I'm trying to say is SORRY FOLKS! We were not on Temple Street yesterday.
We meant to say we'd be on "Cedar Street" and then wouldn't you know it, we forgot our trusty laptop so we couldn't even update the blog. (Note to self: remember to turn on feature that allows blog updates via cellphone).
Our Temple Street appearance turned out to be a fantastic treat for us but it may be a rare one. Our big old truck is not easy to park near the Green and if it were not for some special privileges — thank you to Ginny, Amy and the New Haven Traffic and Police Departments or making it possible! — we wouldn't have been able to bring our goodies to you just yet.
'
That said, we're working furiously to bring our cupcakes to all the people who work near the Green. Especially the folks in the Conn. Financial Center who've emailed and called and begged and cajoled. We are hoping that we can find a spot near to you at least once a week so that you, too, can get your sugar fix. So stay tuned!
Sachem Street and Cedar Street, you will still be on our schedule. So do not worry.
Have a great day everyone!

At the Truck Today (Tuesday 9/23)
We're making a slight detour today. Lots of folks have been asking us to come nearer to the Green. But of course, lots of you at the Medical School/Hospital have been patiently waiting for you cupcakes, too. So today we're going to try to find a happy middle ground — and we were asked to stop closer to a convention that's in town — so we will be parked on Temple Street, near the Omni Hotel, from 3:30 on. Our first stop is still Sachem Street and we expect to get there about 1pm. See you all then!

Announcing our weekly menu
We've been asking you to order at least 24 hours in advance but we realize that that's not easy when you're not sure what we're baking up from day to day. So in an effort to make things easier for you, may we present...drumroll please...our weekly menu. And yes, we will be updating our new website to include this new info.
Please note that we may still change a flavor from time to time, but we will let you know when we do.

Wow!
First of all, last week was an amazing week.
Thanks to NBC30's Andy Pergam's story about our little business, we've heard from dozens of people around the country. I mean from Detroit to Dallas, Seattle to Iowa, Maine to Florida. And quite a few places in between and some not so in between — like Calgary, Alberta (that's Canada!!!) And everyone had warm well-wishes and supportive words of congratulations. We feel truly humbled that you all like our idea and are inspired by our leap of faith with our venture.
To everyone (small business owners and cupcake lovers alike) who e-mailed and CALLED long distance, thank you! We wish we could bring our truck out to visit you but for now, we hope that you will continue to follow our story and that perhaps one day you will be able to come visit us in our corner of New England.
We'd love to get back to all of you personally, but as you can probably imagine it's not easy to do right now. So for now, as so many of you said to us...keep on truckin'!
We'd also like to thank the people who were there right from the very beginning all those weeks ago. What's it been like 5 weeks now :) Thanks for telling your friends and family and coworkers and for coming back again and again to buy our goodies.
And to Yoon-Young, thanks for your help spreading the word. We miss you in New Haven.

We're turning down Cedar Street
Hopefully we'll find parking. Come see what we've got. First come, first served.
No parking just now. We're going round the block and will make a second attempt in a few minutes.
Btw, it's now 3:12pm not 12:42 as this post keeps telling me.

We have lots to tell you
First thing's first. We're officially creating a third weekend day or should that be weekenday? Anyhow.
We're not sure what it's called yet but we think you will all agree that you could use an extra day to get everything done that you have to get done. All those in favor of three day weekends, raise your hands!
That said, we will share all our news, views and random thoughts at some point over the next day or two.
Have a happy weekend!

No Med. School Stop Today
We think it's because of the wonderful news story on us a couple of days ago but we met a larger than usual crowd on Sachem Street today and unfortunately we are sold out.
BUT....
Wait...wait! Don't click away!
As I was saying...but tomorrow we will absolutely be making a stop for you wonderfully devoted Cupcake Truckers (thanks for the phrase Rhona) in the Med School area and will make sure to keep your Chocolate, Red Velvet, Coconut and Lemon safe and secure.
Thanks for understanding as we grow and learn.

Sachem Street - Do not panic!
We will not be abandoning you! We may add (ADD!) a stop or two to our schedule but we will still make regular stops on Sachem so you too can get your cupcake fix.
Okay. Moving on. Enjoy these photos of some recent visitors to the Truck and other fun stuff.
He was pleasantly surprised to find out that the sign on the side of the truck is not a joke and that we do, in fact, sell delicious cupcakes.
This group of ladies walked from Downtown to find us last Friday.
This family caught us just seconds before we drove off. And we're glad they did.

Medical Experiments
Okay, so quite a few of our customers have hiked ALL the way from the Yale Med. School/Hospital to get to us. We really appreciate your loyalty and want to make it a little easier for you to get your daily cupcake fix.
That said, if you can rally your friends and coworkers and send us an email (baker@followthatcupcake.com) to let us know you want us to add a Med School stop to our schedule, we'll start making stops in your corner of New Haven. Maybe even starting today. Stay tuned.

Season of change
With Fall in the air, you may notice a few changes at the Truck.
Today, for instance, it's cool enough for us to introduce another kind of vanilla frosting. A very traditional home-style frosting that usually goes well with Red Velvet cake, but one that also goes well with...well, anything really.
It's silky, smooth and very rich. So how is it different from our usual Vanilla Buttercream. I'd say it tastes a bit more buttery and is a little bit heavier on the tongue. You gotta try it and see for yourself. And while you're at it you have to try our Whipped Chocolate Ganache Frosting — more chocolatey and ruinous than our sort-of heat-resistant summer Chocolate Buttercream.
No, our White Chocolate Cream Cheese won't be changing. We wouldn't want to start a riot. :)
Some of you may also notice that some of our cupcakes were baked in these cute cupcake papers. We had planned to use these fancy, decorated papers at one time but opted instead for simple white papers, which we like because there's nothing to get between you and your cupcake. Nothing to distract your eye as you bring your Red Velvet or Chocolate or Caramel or whatever closer and closer for a bite. But we still had the fancy papers and we decided to treat you today. Enjoy!
What else?
You know there's so much that goes through your head at 5 in the morning as you rush around the kitchen, knee deep in butter and flour, no pencil in sight and you think "oh yeah, I have to talk about this" and fast forward three hours and it's all gone completely out of your head.
Have a wonderful day. We hope all your thoughts today are sweet ones.

The Truck won't park today - Sorry folks!
As I've said before. Two day weekends just aren't enough.
Today is an administrative/getting stuff-we-haven't-been-able-to-get-to-in the-past-month day. Occasionally, we'll need to take one of these. Think of it as a Personal Day.
We'll see you tomorrow with our usual truckload of goodies. Please look for us then.

Here's what's left:
2 Chocolate Ruin
3 Hummingbird
9 Sweet Potato Pecan
2 dozen Red Velvet Jones (yup, we made more today)
We'll probably hang out for another hour or so, so you still ahve time to grab a bite to go with that afternoon coffee.
Btw, for those of you who don't know what Red Velvet and Hummingbird are, let me try to explain:
Hummingbird - A sweet, southern concoction of bananas and pineapple and sometimes pecans and coconut. Tastes a bit like banana bread and because it's so fruity, it's a little denser than the usual butter cake.
Red Velvet – Another classic flavor, this has lots of myths surrouding its origin. Some say it has Southern roots. It's tender and velvety textured, ours is made with butter and contains red food color as all classic recipes do. Many folks make it without cocoa but ours has a hint of cocoa for a unique depth of flavor.

Baking around it
There are things about trading in a 9-to-5 for a 4am-to-8pm to follow a dream that you just don't know going in. I mean, you know you'll have to work really hard for really long hours but you don't really, truly, totally, 100% understand that your body will ache as only the bodies of people who spend their days breaking up slabs of concrete or planting rice can.
Then suddenly you're in the middle of it and clarity settles in and you learn fast how good you are at things you never thought much about before such as:
- Working with temperamental equipment or no equipment if necessary
- Working through cuts, nicks, scratches and burns at 5 in the morning
- Redoing what you've just spent hours doing such as re-baking dozens of cupcakes after the last few batches suffer an unfortunate accident
- Never seeing your loved ones because you just have no time for them anymore
- Standing for hours with foot and back pain (On a friend's suggestion, I got some interesting new shoes. More on this later if they work.)
- Going to bed at 8:30 or 9 p.m. (yup, you can pretty much forget watching TV)
- Subsisting on one meal a day, if you're lucky
- Working in tight spaces
- Meeting and greeting new people every day and answering questions with a smile
- At staying on top of paperwork, names, numbers, e-mails and voicemails
- At giving and taking directions
I guess what I'm trying to say is you learn how to work with or around things. What's that you say? You can do all of that? Great! Need a job?
Kidding!
