Sat 1/14: York St. at 1pm

2012-01-14T08:44:00.002-05:00

We'll be out today and hope you get a chance to stop by. Don't forget it's a three day weekend! Get out and enjoy your time off.

We'll see you tomorrow with our January special Maple Walnut & Bacon and more of your favorite treats. Some more macarons should be in the mix and, if the Gods of Macaronage smile on us, they'll look perfect. If not, at least they'll taste yummy.

York St. at 1:30 today

2012-01-11T08:57:00.013-05:00

We'll shoot for a spot near the Yale Rep again but will update you around 1:30 with our exact parking spot on York. On the menu are Chocolate, Red Velvet, Vanilla with assorted frostings including Salted Caramel, Le Noisette and others.

SUCCESS–IT'S ABOUT PERSPECTIVE
Speaking of noisettes. Something about that little nut awakened our inner Francophile and we've been in the kitchen working on that most temperamental of pâtisseries...les macarons. Our first batch, like so many other hapless first batches, wound up in the trash. Our second attempt was a bit more successful though footless and hopelessly cracked. Some would call that a failure but they tasted so darn yummy, we thought, "Hey, isn't that's what we're all about?" We never ever claimed to have the prettiest cupcakes. Our cupcakes look and taste like someone's mom, dad or grandma made 'em. And we like that and so, it seems, do many of you. So why not indulge you in this almost-there second batch while working on our recette. We think we know what we did wrong and hope to have a triumphant perfect batch at some point very soon. So also on our menu, scratch-made, handmade, homemade macarons!

THE CUPCAKE TRUCK IN RIO
We heart our Cupcake Truckers! Thanks, Mike, for thinking of us on your trip and for bringing us back a bit of warm, sunny Rio. Don't you just want to be there on Copacabana Beach right now?

Salted Caramel Day, YNHH! See you at 1:45pm

2012-01-10T10:08:00.002-05:00

We'll be parking near YNHH (intersection of College and Congress) and will have some more of Le Noisette and Salted Caramel Frosting. Now, personally we think you haven't really lived until you've had that mouthful of decadence. One of us likes it on our moist Chocolate cupcakes, the other eats it on anything. Or as is :) Come discover how you like it.

We'e parked on York St. near Wall St.

2012-01-09T13:22:00.000-05:00

We've got Chocolate, Red Velvet, Vanilla and a VERY limited supply of new flavor, Le Noisette ("nwa-zet" Chocolate-Hazelnut Swirl Cupcake and Chocolate-Hazelnut Buttercream.

The Truck is DONE!

2011-12-10T10:37:00.003-05:00

Sorry about that, Truckers. We really had no idea it would take this long to get the old girl back up and running. She's about 40 years vintage which is what? Like 70 in people years? Bottom line is she put in a good three plus years with no real major work to speak of, just tweaking here and there. So she was about due for something big.

We can't wait to see you all next week. We plan to be out around Tuesday/Wednesday (got a few holiday gigs to cater) and will let you know where and when Mondayish. Have a fantastic weekend loyal Truckers!

We saw our beloved Truck and it's almost there

2011-12-05T09:31:00.003-05:00

We were told just one more day (or so) and the "heart transplant" would be done. So we plan to be out later this week and we'd love to see you. Come help welcome back our trusty vintage Grumman and enjoy some cupcakes. Specific parking details to come by end of day Tuesday/first thing Wednesday.

No Truck yet but December's coming

2011-11-29T11:08:00.005-05:00

Our Truck is still at the mechanic (who we understand has experienced some personal tragedy) but we are gearing up for another wonderful holiday season. Whether you're planning a small party for friends and family or a big end-of-year "thank you" for your corporate family, you can celebrate with the best cupcakes around.

TRUCK RENTALS

HOME & OFFICE DELIVERIES
Can't think of the perfect gift for that special someone on your list? Get them some fresh-baked cupcakes. We deliver almost anywhere in the state. Price and minimum vary depending on delivery location.

Thanksgiving Menu, Black Friday Cupcake Craziness

2011-11-22T14:06:00.006-05:00

ON OUR THANKSGIVING MENU
Stop by our store in Downtown Bridgeport on Wednesday to grab your holiday dessert. We'll be open later than usual and will have all your favorite cupcakes along with our specials "Pumpkin Pie, Stuffing & Cranberry Sauce." That's Pumpkin pie "cupcakes," cupcakes stuffed to order with any of our delicious frostings and buttercreams and our own special cranberry glaze to drizzle on top. Hope to see you there!

BLACK FRIDAY: WIN FREE CUPCAKES ALL DAY!
Stop by the store on Friday and you could win. Each hour from 11-5 we'll randomly pick someone to win 1 dozen Chocolate Ruin cupcakes with rainbow sprinkles. 6 winners in all! But everyone wins, too, because our fantastic Chocolate Ruin cupcakes are just $1 each with purchase of any other cupcake(s)*. Why this craziness? Because we think we’ve got the best chocolate cupcakes around. So we’re putting our money where your mouth is…or something like that :)

*Limit one (2) $1 chocolate cupcake per customer. While supplies last.

Our Truck is not ready but our cupcakes are

2011-11-22T11:18:00.003-05:00

Unfortunately, the Truck is not ready to roll yet but our store is open and we have all kinds of wonderful fresh-baked goodies including Marble Cupcakes, Rum Cakes and tomorrow...a Toppings take on Pumpkin Pie!

We will be closed on Thanksgiving Day but open on Black Friday with some fun specials. Stay tuned to find out more.

No parking Monday. Awaiting word on the Truck

2011-11-21T12:26:00.002-05:00

We're hoping to get good news regarding the Truck today and will update you with word of when we'll be back out on the street.

On another more serious note, we're saddened by the tragedy that took place this weekend at The Game. Our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone affected.

No parking this weekend. The annual conundrum.

2011-11-19T13:04:00.002-05:00

Who do you root for when you have Crimson all over on your hands (and not just from the Red Velvet) but Bulldogs in your backyard? Hmmm.

Well, as always, go team!

Catching the holiday spirit

2011-11-16T11:12:00.004-05:00

We always know when the holiday season is upon us. Not because the leaves have all turned brown are falling fast and furious. Or because the inevitable barrage of toy/gift/car commercials have started. But because we see egg nog on the shelves again.

Something about egg nog just gets us excited and puts us in a really good mood. We want to buy it, drink it and experiment with it as only bakers can. What's not to love about eggs, cream and that wonderful and powerful but oh-so-temperamental nutmeg? We want to put egg nog in everything and we try. Oh yes, we try. Like last year's mini Egg Nog Cheesecakes and today at our bakery, Rum 'n Nog Cupcakes. Our twist on traditional rum cakes and ode to good old egg nog.

We hope you get to try this decadent, decidedly adult treat and that it warms you in all the right places and puts you in the holiday spirit, too.

Our Truck's getting major work this week

2011-11-15T10:57:00.005-05:00

Our trusty Grumman is garaged and having some MAJOR work done. Quadruple bypass major. We were assured that it would be ready and back in action within a few days.

In the meanwhile, we still baking—we're always baking!—and you can get our fresh-baked treats at our Bridgeport store. Hope to see you there soon!

Btw, we'll be at Webster Arena's WWE Smackdown later today. If you're heading there with the kids, be sure to stop by our booth and get some dessert before the main event.

No parking for Veterans Day. Hope to see you next week

2011-11-11T09:12:00.003-05:00

Our thoughts and thanks turn to all those serving in the military today but especially the vets. Have a wonderful weekend, Cupcake Truckers!

No parking Wednesday

2011-11-09T10:23:00.002-05:00

What We Are Working On. And Not.

Hey Truckers!

Firstly, a special howdy to all of our new friends in Stamford. We had a great time with you guys yesterday and hope to visit again soon.

Secondly, we have been working really hard at maintaining our culinary/business integrity as we grow our delicious little business and if that means we keep politely declining Food Network's Cupcake Wars and Food Truck Race invitations then so be it....

Competitive programs like these can sometimes be fun to watch from the sidelines but if you really care about food and quality then we think it's hard, in all good conscience, to participate.

We are in the midst of finishing up Truck #2 (hopefully by the end of November) and there may be some other fun things by then also.
