The Truck will park Wed to Fri this week

We need just one more teensy, tiny, little day to get prepared for our week and the upcoming weekend, which are always busy with events.

Tomorrow, we'll stop near St. Raphael's Hospital for the very first time and we hope you will come out and give us a try. We'll also stop by New Haven Hospital later in the afternoon.

Thursday and Friday, College Street, Sachem Street and Erector Square. We're still sorting out the parking. In the meanwhile enjoy these photos from this weekend's Touch-a-Truck event.











See you tomorrow.

Happy cold, soggy Monday!

The Truck will not be parking today but we'll definitely be out and about this week. And we'll be posting some fun pictures of the Touch-a-Truck event we attended this weekend shortly. So keep an eye out. Thanks to Regina and the rest of the folks at Coleytown Elementary for inviting us. We hope your fundraising was a success!

See you later this week.

The Truck will park this week

We're planning to be out Tuesday/Wednesday through Friday folks and we hope you are, too. Happy Monday!

By the way, we heard a funny story at Science Park last week and we thought you might enjoy it. Heck, maybe it happened to you yourself.

So this Cupcake Trucker — we'll call "Marge" — was doing a sweet deed and had bought a few cupcakes for a friend who was ill. She was taking them to her friend's house and somehow (she didn't tell us how and we didn't ask) caramel frosting got on her steering wheel. As she related it, she then had a moment of personal crisis as she tried to figure out how she could maneuver to LICK THE STEERING WHEEL without getting herself into trouble as she was driving. She must have figured it out because she arrived safe and sound at the Truck to tell the story with her friend who was feeling better but we thought that was one of the funniest stories we'd heard so far.

We've all seen folks "multitask" in their cars doing everything from applying makeup to scarfing down a sandwich but licking a steering wheel is a definitely a new one. Can you imagine how it would look watching someone drive down the road knawing at their wheel? :O)

It ranks up there with the story we heard (and this was in the Fall) about the man who tried to keep the Truck his own personal secret, sneaking out and going across town to buy cupcakes at lunchtime and refusing to tell his co-workers where he'd been. Until they pried it out of him.

It's all about enjoying life's simple treasures isn't it? Anyway have a great day and we'll see you later this week.

Parking downtown today at 3pm

Hey all! Looks like the day is shaping out to be a well-deserved (don't you deserve it?) nice one. The Cupcake Truck will be parking downtown New Haven today but we don't exactly know what the parking situation will be. We don't expect to be to too far away from the Green. Most likely College Street between Elm and Chapel (that's Phelps Gate for you Yalies) again today. If we don't find parking there, we'll update you when we park.
