Photo Tour: The Chocolate Cupcake Cart!

Going shopping this weekend? I am! I’m off to get a new phone {woot woot}! The Chocolate Dessert Cafe just opened up their cupcake cart in Orem’s University Mall a few weeks ago. I don’t know about you, but I’m so excited to hit up Nordies and a bakery in one stop!

Let’s take a closer look at The Chocolate’s Cupcake Cart!

The Chocolate Cupcake Cart (Orem, Utah)
wow…the gap is right by! how convenient!

Hum…what kind should we get? Let’s take a look at the menu:

you like your cupcakes cold? (i know there are people out there that do!) well no fret, they’ve got a cute little refrigerator!

what else can you get at The Chocolate’s Cupcake Cart?

Mini Chocolate Cake at The Chocolate Cupcake Cart (Orem, Utah)
i like their sugar cookies. how bout a mini cake? (it’s not a cupcake but i think they are cute) see some more of their work in this photo gallery.

You should know that The Chocolate takes custom orders. (In fact they’ve got a great catering business going on!) So you can just drop on by the cart and tell them what type of cake or cupcakes (or better…both) you want! You can pick your order up right at The Chocolate’s Cupcake Cart or they can deliver it to you anywhere in the Salt Lake and Utah County Area! WOW!

Gosh! What a cool thing!

Be sure to keep up with The Chocolate on their blog . You’d be good to read the FAQ too. They are a commercially-licensed, scratch bakery using only the finest ingredients, including top quality cocoa, Meadow Gold dairy, Lehi Roller Mills flour, and Madagascan vanilla. Get to know them better, some good stuff is in there!

Also, I highly recommend their Lemon Curd Cupcake!
