What a Great Day for an Outdoor Market!

Well it's officially Spring in Asheville. The tailgate markets have begun and we couldn't have asked for a better day to be out, seeing our friends from last year and introducing many new folks to Cupcakes A-Go-Go. The minis were a hit with kids and adults alike. Looks like the Sticky Buns and Scones are going to be fast sellers, so we'll try to make more for the later crowd. Many people weren't familiar with the Hummingbird cake, but as soon as we described it to them (sour cream vanilla cake with bananas, pineapple and pecans) they snatched one or two up for themselves or a friend. It was a wonderful day. Thanks to all the market patrons!

Countdown to Market Opening Day!

We are really excited around here about market starting back up in 5 days. Maybe a little apprehensive about how we're going to handle a very mobile, very independent little person this year. I almost pine for the times when we could set her, car seat and all on the ground and set up around her. We were very blessed last year to have as market neighbors an adopted grandma and grandpa for Bea. They sold goat milk soap and were always there to hold her when I needed a hand. It will be interesting to see what happens now that she can take off in a blink of an eye.

We will have mini cupcakes on hand for those with a petite sweet tooth and those who want to try us out without making a big commitment. Our Cheese Biscuits, Parisian Brioche and Brioche Sticky Buns are back and we've added Cream Cheese Brownies, a classic. I've done so much online research on cupcake flavors the past few months, trying to keep up with the trends but stay true to my vision. One trend that definitely piqued my interest was bacon in cupcakes. So stay tuned for a "breakfast" cupcake of some kind. I hope to see our regular customers again this Saturday and meet many many new ones.
