Hump Day at the Cupcake Truck - Sachem

For all you lucky folks who're off vacationing in exotic, far away places. You know, like the Cape, the Shoreline :) We hope you have a fantastic time and come back relaxed and refreshed and hungry for cupcakes. For the rest of us...well, there's the weekend. Hey, it's Wednesday already! Thanks to everyone who came out in the drizzle yesterday and sampled our new flavor—it's official, Peanut Butter is the winner. We hope you got a chance to try a sample. If not, we'll have some more today.

And to the very nice woman who stopped by, had a chocolate cupcake and told us quite meaningfully that she's been "searching for a cupcake for 48 years," thank you. That's a really sweet thing to say. And it's why we work so hard and give you our best every time we're out on the road. Speaking of being out on the road, here's today's schedule.

Today's schedule. Plus free P.B. sample

What a difference a day makes, right? Feels like fall's coming today. But we'll be out and we're looking forward to you all bringing us some sunshine. We're doing our very best to be right on time and ask that you have your orders ready to go when you get to the window so no one has to wait too long in the rain.

POLL UPDATE
Regarding our poll, it looks like peanut butter may be our new flavor. If you're a peanut butter lover, you can try a free sample of Peanut Butter cupcake and frosting when you buy any cupcake today. So give it a try and let us know your thoughts. Limited supply.

YNHH at 3:30 today

Friday's here! And it's a beee-uuu-teee-full one. Doesn't that make you break out in a big cheesy, grin? Hope you have some fun plans for the weekend. And, yes, we consider simply lounging on a lawn chair with a glass or something or other "fun." Before you take off though, come out to the Truck and get a cupcake to go with that something or other.

Quick poll update:
Thanks to everyone who's responded so far. Wow! Looks like Peanut Butter is winning but we've had lots of you tell us you'd much rather have a new Peanut Butter frosting to top your Vanilla or Chocolate cupcakes. If you have an opinion one way or another, send us an e-mail. We're listening!

The Truck's back in commission

And running like new! We'll be out tomorrow with our Wednesday flavors and a couple of extra flavors as a little treat. We will most likely park on College Street but we'll give you all the deets by 9:30 tomorrow morning.

Monday, July 13, 2009

No parking today: The Truck's in the shop

We hope to be back out by Wednesday. Stay tuned.

Friday, July 10, 2009

Update: We're on Cedar St.

We're parked about halfway down the street. See you soon!

Happy Friday! St. Raph's and YNHH today

We made it to Friday and it's a beautiful one. Hope you get to take a few minutes to go out and enjoy some of it. We'll be out and we hope to see you. Btw, we hear rumors that Cedar Street may be closed today. We'll swing by around 2:45 and if it is, we'll look for parking on Congress Ave near the College Street intersection and update you from the Truck.

TODAY'S TRUCK STOPS
1) Sherman Ave. (Near St. Raphael's Hospital) from 1:00 to 2/2:30

Truck update: We'd hoped she'd be purring like a newborn kitten today. Instead the old girl just got a thorough "evaluation" yesterday and has to go back to actually be operated on early next week. That means we probably won't be parking on Monday and Tuesday next week but stay tuned for more.

We've got Caramel and Marshmallow frosting

Those of you who've had our caramel frosting know it's delish. But it's caramel and it won't stand up to the heat. So if you're eating your cupcake on the go, definitely give it a try. If you plan to save it till later and won't be able to keep it cool, we suggest you try another of our frostings that are more heat resistant. See you in a few minutes on College Street.

Thurs & Fri schedule

THUR
We have some long overdue and very necessary work to do on the Truck that we're actually quite excited about. Don't ask. When you're rolling around in a Truck as old as ours, the little things can make you very happy :) So we won't be parking tomorrow but we plan to be out Friday with a purring Truck — at the very least, we hope it won't be groaning — and some Hummingbird.

FRI
St. Raphael and Yale New Haven Hospital

MONDAY
25 Science Park and/or Sachem Street. Stay tuned.

College Street today at 2pm

We'll be back on College Street today. And if things go as planned in the kitchen, we might even some caramel frosting. We'll let you know in a couple of hours.

No parking Tues - new flavor coming soon!

Good morning Cupcake Truckers, we won't be out and about today but we're hard at work behind-the-scenes making your cupcake experience the best it can be.

We've got lots planned this summer including our 1-year anniversary at the end of this month. To celebrate we're going to be introducing a whole new cupcake flavor (along with more some fun stuff) and you get to help us pick it! Stay tuned to this blog to vote for your top pick starting later today.

No parking Mon 7/5

It was great seeing some new faces on Saturday night. Hope those of you who made it out enjoyed all the fireworks, food and fun.

We will not be parking the Truck today but will be out later this week (possibly tomorrow) and will do our best to post a tentative schedule by Tuesday morning.
