It's a glorious, sunshiny Saturday morning and we will be parking the Truck in two locations today and we know one of them has got to be close to where you are. Right?

1) Come check out all the cool cars, crafts and cupcakes at the Cruzin' with Carrigan Car Show & Craft Fair. Carrigan Middle School, 2 Tetlow Street, West Haven. From about 11:30ish till...

2) The Study Hotel in New Haven. That's at 1157 Chapel Street, between York and Park from 4:30-to-6ish. We look forward to meeting all you Yale alumni!

We've got Chocolate, Vanilla and, of course, Red Velvet cupcakes. And this might just your last chance to get 'em before we're back from a little break around mid-June. So come and get 'em and enjoy your weekend!

Special Hartford event today

Hello Cupcake Truckers! Today we're making a special trip to Hartford where we'll be parking for a couple of hours in front of The Bushnell.

Why? Well there's a cool event happening on a subject we enjoy...food. The Connecticut Forum Presents: Food for Thought featuring a panel of celebrity chefs. Anthony Bourdain, Alice Water and Duff Goldman. Just a few small names, no one you know :) Anyway, the event is sold out but we were invited to participate and we decided to brave rush hour traffic and go for it. We plan to be there from about 6/6:30 to 8/8:30pm. You know how traffic is on I-91 and we will do our best to get there on time. Hope to see some new faces today!

For you New Haven area Cupcake Truckers, we will be back out in Elm City tomorrow. We will try to bake some Hummingbird for those of you who've told us that you've missed them over the past few weeks.

The Truck will park Tue thru Fri

Happy Monday Cupcake Truckers. Please come back each day to find out exactly where and when we will be parking. If you're in or around Hartford, we'll be making a special stop up your way this Thursday for a very cool food event at the Bushnell. More info. to come later.

No Science Park/Westville today

Happy Friday Cupcake Truckers!

Remember when we posted that schedule earlier this week, we said it was tentative? See we've learned that the only predictable thing about what we do is it's unpredictability. In other words, things sometimes happen that are out of our control. Like today. Due to some unforseen circumstances, we won't be out on the street peddling our yummy wares.

But we can tell you with a fair amount of certainty that we will be out next week and will be going to some of our usual stops. We'll give you the details on exactly when and where at least a day before. Don't forget that if you're not in front of a computer, you can get updates from Twitter and get our schedule/menu on the go.

Have a great weekend and for all you mothers (including our own), a Happy Mother's Day!

Happy soggy Friday! No parking today

The Truck won't be parking today due to the rainy weather. We heard rumblings of thunderstorms later today. Also, it seems that one of us has been felled by allergies. (We love trees. Why don't they love us?!) We will be back out next week and will be posting a TENTATIVE schedule for the week, which some of you have been asking for, later today or this weekend.

Have a productive day and a wonderful weekend!
