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!

Update to this week's schedule

We've firmed up our plans for this week and while we won't make it to every Truck Stop on our list, we will be going to some new places...like Westville. We will definitely return to our other regular stops next week. Btw, we hear it's Teacher Appreciation Week. So be sure to appreciate a teacher you know in whatever ways you can.

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!
