Well the word on the street is that Sprinkles Cupcakes will be offering a sneak peak of their upcoming German Chocolate Cupcakes for those of you in Chicago. The free cupcake and hot chocolate shindig is due to occur on Tuesday 11th January from 7-9pm, but you do have to RSVP if you plan to attend.
Thursday 6th January – News is still slowish as we all recover from Christmas and the New Year celebrations, so why not fill up on Hot Chocolate Cupcakes!! These good looking cupcakes are from Fox 11 Online.
Friday 7th January – Zoning laws win the battle for the streets this month. Denver’s Cake Crumb Bakery will restrict its ‘stops’ to private sites and public events they are invited too for January. So if inn Denver you may have more chance hailing a cab than a cupcake. But don’t worry, Cake Crumb Bakery will still have plenty to do during the month, reading! As they determine where they can and cannot take cupcakes too.
Sunday 9th January – Buy your cupcake and profit from it too – how? Crumbs Bake Shop are going to go public in a merger which should be announced today. This will allow Crumbs to go ahead with expansion plans! Read more in the NY Times Deal Book.
Puts a new perspective on the little cupcake that could!
Monday 10th January – Sales of baking goods have surged thanks to the trend in cupcakes and celebrity chefs reaching a new point of fame. Sales in some goods are up 70% on previous figures in the UK reports the Independent. I know I have helped this figure!

Recently Sprinkles opened 2 new locations, a store in Chicago and another in Houston. While they’ve started with a single Beverly Hills location, by this winter Sprinkles will now have 10 great and yummy locations across the U.S.A.. Now isn’t it wonderful to know you can reach out and find a cupcake just about anywhere as you go about your day? We think this is terrific news!
Currently Sprinkles has locations in:
Beverly Hills
Chicago
Dallas
Newport Beach
Phoenix – Scottsdale
San Francisco – Palo Alto
This sophisticated and scrumptious cupcakery is known for using the best ingredients and making yummy cupcakes. Popular at parties, galas and special events – Sprinkles has many celebrity friends that enjoy their cupcakes.
With 10 stores soon to be open, we wonder what the coming year will bring for Sprinkles? Will they open more stores in other great locations? Or create bigger stores in the locations they have now? One thing is for certain – with Sprinkles you can always count on yummy cupcakes ideal for that party or treat to brighten your day.

NYC’s love affair with the cupcake may have first began with TV show ‘Sex and the City’, showing their characters Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha getting cupcakes at popular Magnolia Bakery. Today according to The Wall Street Journal, the cupcake bakeries are doing well in the recession.
While other areas of the labor market have gotten smaller in June, the restaurant and bar industry did improve. A large area of this growth is cupcake bakeries in the NYC area! Who knew that our favorite tasty treats could be counted on for economic relief?
Sprinkles Cupcakes will open their first New York City location this year. Other cupcake bakeries, from chains to independently owned cupcake bakeries are increasing in size, staff and seeing other growth.
One of the great things about cupcakes is it is a simple indulgence for so many to treat themselves with. While most have had to give up larger indulgences – a $3 treat is something easy for many to enjoy often. Even if you’ve had to give up the $50 or $100 treats in your life, that sweet and yummy $3 cupcake is still well within reach. And we know that everyone deserves to treat themselves every once in awhile.
A cupcake bakery is also a business that is lower cost than many other businesses to start. The initial investment to start your own cupcake bakery is much lower than for other types of businesses. It seems there are many reasons a cupcake bakery would be appealing to both business owners and those who love cupcakes.
It is very interesting to see that cupcakes are doing so well during the recession. While other businesses are having a challenging time – these sweet treats are so successful and seem to be recession proof.
Enjoy that sweet cupcake – as it seems to be the ideal treat for today’s times. The perfect indulgence for today and everyday!
