My 2011 is off to a great start!!!!!!!!!!!

-
As most of you know I am opening a Cupcake Bakery The Crazy Cupcake in the next couple of weeks.  Back in Dec we were interviewed for our local paper The Herald & Tribune.  New cupcakery to satisfy more than just a sweet tooth.  Well today we had our second interview with The Johnson City Press!!!  We were interviewed for an in newspaper magazine called For Her.  They have a column called I'll Have what She's Having where they go to different restaurants and bakeries and try their desserts.  So we had to make cupcakes so they could sample them.  This newspaper is also bigger than the Herald Tribune so I hope it really helps to get our name out there!!

They sent out a photographer to take pictures of the 5 kind of cupcakes I made.  The article comes out the end of Feb!!  I am so excited I can't wait to open!!!! We are waiting on a few things and then we will be all set.  Unfortunately we have gotten TONS of snow since last Wednesday so that is making it hard to get things done. By kids had Thursday, Friday, today, and tomorrow off for snow days.  That makes 11 already this year.  The school district builds in 13 for the whole year so I bet the kids will have to either go to Satrday school or have the school year extended.

Here are pictures of the cupcakes I made today.

Chocolate cake with a caramel buttercream and a semi sweet chocolate heart



Chocolate Coffee cake with a chocolate coffee buttercream.




Our Cinnamonster!! Cinnamon cake with cinnamon chips topped with a cinnamon sugar topping and covered in vanilla glaze.  Just like a cinnamon roll only in cupcake form.




The Kayla named after our daughter who created them.  Vanilla bean cake with peanut butter chips and frosted with a peanut butter buttercream.

    I just found your blog and realized I have been by your store! We live in the tri-cites and I saw The Crazy Cupcake while we were walking through Jonesborough! My boys ( I have 5 as well about the same ages as yours!) wanted a cupcake but you weren't open yet. I'll definitely have to bring them by to try out some of your yummy looking treats!
