The cupcakes are very good and fresh! Greta to have a specialty bakery shoppe here however my only concern is, I'm not sure IF the area will support the high pricing of the cupcakes and cakes???? I hope they make it!!!! Maybe having days w/cupcake specials, etc.... will help the business thrive with the locals.   more ›

Kathy, I would recommend baking them the day before and frosting them the day of to split up the labor. You can even make the frosting the day before as the sugar will keep it fresh. The cupcakes however will start to go stale and get dry the longer they sit so I don't recommend baking them too far in advance. Also, cover them well with plastic wrap to keep them moist.   more ›
