Ready for cupcake delivery?

We're almost ready, too, so we wanted to give you an idea of how it will work.

1) We will deliver a dozen or more cupcakes to your home or office in Downtown New Haven, the New Haven metro area and certain areas outside New Haven county (please ask if your area is included).

2) If you need fewer than a dozen cupcakes, we ask that you pool your smaller order for 1 or 2 cupcakes together with your co-workers or neighbors (it's the season for sharing and bonding!)

3) For orders up to 2 dozen cupcakes, our delivery fee will be $3 (c'mon! that's just 25 cents if you're pitching in with 11 other people). For larger orders and orders outside New Haven, the fee will still be $10.

4) Place your order at least 24 hours in advance. We will accept orders on a FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED basis. There will be a LIMITED amount of cupcakes available for those last-minute I-need-a-dozen-for-client/party/bribe-today orders but we can't guarantee these will last very long. We will do our best to get back to you to confirm your order or to let you know if we won't be able to fill it.

5) To expedite the cupcake dropoff process and ensure that you can enjoy your goodies as quickly as possible, we ask that you pay by credit card whenever possible (we will deliver your receipt along with your cupcakes) OR have your cash ready. Oh, and exact change would be really helpful.

6) As far as cupcake flavors, we will follow the same schedule we've been using over the past couple of months so you will be able to choose from the flavors available on your delivery day, much as you choose from what is available at the Truck each day.

Mon: Ultimate Vanilla, Chocolate Ruin, Red Velvet Jones

Tue: Sweet Potato Pecan, Chocolate Ruin, Red Velvet Jones

Wed: Salted Caramel, Chocolate Ruin, Red Velvet Jones

Thu: Hummingbird, Chocolate Ruin, Red Velvet Jones

Fri: Loco Coconut, Lemon Meringue, Chocolate Ruin, Red Velvet Jones

These will be posted on our website and blog along with any new items that we may add.

What else? We're probably forgetting something. Hopefully this post answers some of your initial questions but we are happy to give you more information via e-mail or phone.

In the meantime, keep checking our blog and watch for cupcake delivery starting mid-November!

"It's Election week. I need my cupcakes!"

We hear you. So we'll get right to the point.

Yes. The Truck WILL park this week from Wednesday to Friday.

We know it's sort of cruel and unusual punishment to make you wait a week to satisfy your cupcake cravings, especially when so many of you have told us that we've changed things. Elevated your standards and made it impossible for you to raid the office vending machine because your taste buds will no longer settle for Twinkies and other mass produced "baked goods." We do understand but there was much work to be done you understand.

You'd be amazed how much does not get done while you while away the hours of your day baking and chatting with folks about baking. For instance, you forget all about that whole taking-down-the-fall-
clothes-and-putting-away-the summer-ones thing. Until it's suddenly 40 degrees and your fingers are freezing along with your luscious Chocolate Ganache.

Anyway, the point is. In between filling orders, planning for our next phase and traveling out of the country, we've tried to steal some desperately needed time to get real life stuff done. How'd it go? We love our t-shirts but now we have sweaters and long underwear to wear with them :)

Okay, okay, on to the rest of the stuff you really want to know.

Yes. We will continue to take/fill orders for PICK UP ONLY at the truck during the week (LIMITED deliveries on weekends) as long as the truck is parked.

Yes. We will do our very best to return your e-mails, calls and queries in as timely a manner as possible.

Yes. We will have holiday gift cards that we think your friends, family and coworkers will love.

Yes. We will soon start selling our t-shirts and other fun promotional stuff.

Yes. We will have all your favorites (love that Hummingbird!) and add a new item or two to our menu. Think pumpkins. Maple. Spice.

Yes. We will soon start making cupcake deliveries so you won't have to stand out in the cold.

Have a happy Monday!
