Sachem Street @ 1:30 today. Tomorrow, Ikea

We swung by Sachem and it looks like we MIGHT be able to find a parking spot today. So we'll give it a go (we'll try to park by the bus stop) and we'll have some Vegan Vanilla with us. Tomorrow, we're heading to a new Tuck Stop, 450 Sargent Drive...Ikea!

Btw, thanks to the nice guy who came to the Truck yesterday and said some sweet things any baker would love to hear. "You know, I travel a lot and have had a lot of good cupcakes but these are magic!" We think so, too :)

Happy Friday!

Hope you had a great week, Cupcake Truckers. We're busy preparing for winter and taking care of business :) but we'll be back on the street next week in some old and new Truck Stops. Details to come. Btw, we'll have a new seasonal flavor, something "pumpkin-y" that we'll be baking every Friday this month instead of our sunny Lemon cupcakes which will be hibernating for the winter and back on the menu next spring.

Oh, thanks to everyone who stopped by the Truck for Halloween. We got a kick out of every costume and we've posted a few of them below but in the end only one winner could enjoy those 31 free cupcakes. Well...sort of.

THE WINNER IS...
"The Wizard of Oz"
When you split the prize guys, try to keep Toto away from the Chocolate cupcakes.
















HONORABLE MENTIONS GO TO...

"The Fried Electrician"
We love this guy's sense of humor.



























"Lil Kraft Singles"
Kudos to our little friend for a really "krafty" homemade costume.




























"The Smurfs"

Need we say more?






















"The Easter Bunny"
They're all cute but how can you resist pink fuzzy ears?






















"The Viking"
At least we think he's a viking.

Closed for a few days

We've got lots to do to "winterize" The Cupcake Truck this week and we will not be parking for a few days. We just might come out for a day or two later this week/weekend but please stay tuned as we will update you by Wednesday. Also, check back soon to see who won the Halloween costume contest and 31 free cupcakes.

Enjoy that extra hour and have a great start of the week!
