Purple Cupcake Project begins tomorrow

Sweets — Mon, 19 Mar 2012 13:47:12 +0000

Beginning tomorrow, and through 3/26, Sweets will be offering a purple cupcake in support of the Anita Kaufmann Foundation‘s goal to raise awareness of epilepsy.

From the Anita Kaufmann Foundation:

Sometimes it’s all about how you tell the story. And when it’s about epilepsy, The Anita Kaufmann Foundation (AKF) knows how to raise awareness with the help of those affected by epilepsy, those committed to the cause, and those committed to their communities. As the global sponsor for Purple Day, dedicated to partnering with individuals and organizations around the world to promote epilepsy awareness, the Foundation is presenting The Great Purple Cupcake Project.

Our cake pops kick butt

Sweets — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 16:11:30 +0000

I have a confession. I’ve never really liked cake pops. Mostly because I’m not a huge fan of the chocolate coatings on them , I always thought of them as a treat that was just for looks but not taste. Sometimes I can be kind of a sweets snob.

But then… then! I tried the cake pops the Ly (owner of Sweets) makes, and oh. my. gosh. They are so moist and gooey and flavorful! They’re the best cake pops I’ve ever had, and I promise I’m not just saying that because I work here.

FYI, we don’t carry cake pops every day, so place an order with us if you want some. You can get them in any cake flavor we offer. sweets@sweetsbakeshop.com
