Cupcakes, Valentines and Commerce

I'm hoping to sign a new client and I'm very excited.  Why?  Look at the product!

 

I went in to get a cupcake.  We started talking.   I was in sweats, headed to the gym.  They sold me a lemon curd topped lemon cake cupcake.  I started eating.  I gave them my card.  I sell local television advertising.  They thought it was funny I was eating a cupcake before  hitting the gym.  Next thing you know, we are talking air time and visuals for their brand new business.  

I ordered their Valentine's Day special:



I'm going to surprise my husband, son & MIL with these.

They make cakes too.  This is a little dog on a John Deere tractor.  


 

And a very cool spider cake.



I wonder who will end up spending the most money with whom?

That's so cool. I'm actually baking cup cakes today. Not for any particular reason but I love the ones with whipped ganache on the top . . .Congratulations on the new client (hey, stop giving them free advertising . . they should be paying for such international exposure!)

Consider it a symbiotic relationship! LOL! I LOVE the idea of eating the cupcake on the way to the gym! Congrats to you both for new clients! Do they mail????

That sounds like a dangerous liaison to me! Good thing I'm not in adverstising! I love how the frosting is conical on the cupcakes and the flavors sound devine!

Happy Valentine's Day Everyone!

This particular shop is called White Mountain Cupcakery. They really do a nice job. I picked up my box of Valentine cupcakes today and everyone chose one and we cut them in half and shared. Flavors were strawberry ganache & fresh strawberry on chocolate cake, carmel with chocolate ganache & chocolate cake, chocolate & coconut w/ chocolate & coconut ganache, & a double Devil's Food chocolate chocolate. Very rich.
