So Cupcake & Ice Cream Truck Deliver Birthday Parties
So Cupcake and The Ice Cream Man Don Gansen merged on a project to bring Cupcake & Ice cream Trucks to Utah! I’m not sure what their routes are, but I do know that they host, or rather, deliver birthday parties. A fan of So Cupcake’s Facebook page gave this awesome testimonial:
“We had the Cupcake truck over our house for a birthday party!
It was so awesome !!!!!!
We heard them coming down the street with the Happy Birthday song playing !!
They pulled up to my house and gave out Cupcakes , Ice Cream and Party supplies.
This was the easiest way to have the kids party and the price was right !!!
The kids just loved it !!!!)

New site for Minis Cupcakes
A week or so ago I noticed Minis Cupcakes, Utah’s first cupcake bakery, had majorly upgraded their Web site. Stop what you are doing and head on over. It’s cute, pink and fun! My favorite element of the new site is the menu page. It features a slide show like element of each flavor with a fun picture and description. In case you are wondering, my favorite cupcake flavors over at Mini’s are the Black and White, The Diva and Breakfast at Tiffany’s.
A huge cupcake 411: a sweet little birdie or rather a talented cupcake baker told me that Mini’s will be publishing a cookbook due out February 2011! Can you believe it? I can’t wait to start baking my own mini cupcakes at home.
Media Mogul/Billionaire is a fan of Utah’s Sweet Tooth Fairy!
The newest location for The Sweet Tooth Fairy opened last weekend in the Foothill area of Salt Lake City. And um…someone special was there…
Here’s the full story from the Salt Lake Tribune:
Billionaire mixes with cupcakes, Utah customers
Sumner Redstone » Owner of CBS, Viacom attends opening of new SLC pastry store
by Tom Harvey
It’s not often that the opening of a cupcake store in Utah is attended by a media mogul who is one of the world’s richest men.
But there was Sumner Redstone on Friday chewing away on some of his favorite pastries as the Provo-based Sweet Tooth Fairy opened its doors at Foothill Village in Salt Lake City, the fourth store of an expanding chain.
The owner of CBS and Viacom, two media giants, said he started asking for the cupcakes and cakebites (candy-sized cakes) after he saw them featured on the Rachael Ray show on the Food Network, which is owned by Viacom.
“Their content is wonderful, like CBS,” said the network’s owner.
Sumner toured the small store, gazed into the cases and nibbled on cakebites while filming a news promo for the local CBS affiliate, KUTV Channel 2.
The 87-year-old Sumner shares the No. 400 spot on the Forbes ‘ list of the world’s billionaires. The magazine lists his net worth at $2.4 billion.
Megan Faulkner Brown, Tooth Fairy CEO, said Sumner or his staff had been phoning occasionally asking for shipments of cupcakes and cakebites. So when the company was planning the grand opening of its latest store, she asked Redstone if he would attend.
He did.
Faulkner Brown said she learned to bake from her mother, who ground her own wheat and baked bread and goodies for five children.
“I can still hear the sound of wheat grinding on Saturday mornings,” she said.
From her father, she inherited an entrepreneurial streak.
Faulkner Brown, a former staffer for former U.S. Rep. Chris Cannon, said she had been running a home-based sweets business when her husband got laid off. They decided to go full time into the cupcakes (and cookies and brownies) business. The company opened its first store in January of 2009.
“I didn’t want to live my life with ‘coulda, woulda, shoulda,’ ” said the 29-year-old mother of three small children.
They have since opened stores in Draper and St. George and plan two more in Utah. The company has been using investor monies for the expansion.
Asked his favorite, Sumner picked the coconut cake.
But, he quickly added, “I think it’s all tasty.”

Les Madeleines: Madagascar (Vanilla) Cupcake
Vanilla, vanilla, vanilla. It sometimes comes from Madagascar.
Because of their name, Madagascar, I’m assuming these cupcakes from Les Madeleines have Madagascar vanilla in them.
more about these cupcakes from Les Madeleines site:
“Madagascar™: Vanilla cupcake with vanilla cream cheese frosting dipped in white chocolate sprinkles”
I don’t remember a whole lot about this cupcake since I haven’t tried it in more than a year. But I do remember really being impressed with the REAL white chocolate sprinkles and how they were combined with a nice cream cheese frosting.
Have you tried this cupcake? Fill us in already!

Tulie Bakery: Vanilla Cupcake with Vanilla Frosting
Still talking about vanilla cupcakes over here.
This time: Tulie Bakery.
I found Tulie Bakery to very cute, cool and delicious. Minus one thing: their vanilla cupcakes were a bit dry. I could tell the cake was made with quality ingredients, just over baked. I will say though, that I enjoyed the frosting. I would like to give these another shot cause I’ve talked to others that have enjoyed it.
I thought the way they frosted the cupcakes was pretty!
and i loved the look and feel of the bakery, not to mention their logo and packaging!
but…i think this cupcake should be more in the $2.25 – $2.50 price range.
So for now I say, if you go to Tulie, grab some food (lunch was great! i loved their ciabatta sandwich with mozzarella, basil and tomato) or get the chocolate cupcake.
If you’ve tried Tulie’s vanilla cupcake — let your voice be heard. I’d really like to give this cupcake another shot if I hear enough positive feedback about it.

Diva’s Black & White Cupcake vs. Hostess Ding Dong
Just spotted this story on the Utah Stories Web site where they have started an ongoing series where they compare the best of local Utah with their
conventional and mass produced counterparts.
This article compares the black and white mini cupcake from Diva’s Cupcakes and Coffee in Salt Lake City to the Hostess Ding Dong.
The Best of Local Utah: Cupcakes
February 2nd, 2010
Diva’s Mini Cupcakes vs. Hostess Ding Dongs
Part of on ongoing series where we compare the best of local Utah with their convenional and mass produced counterparts.
Which is better? We’ll let the reader decide.
Today we compare gourmet cupcakes from Diva’s in Salt Lake City to Hostess Ding Dongs.
| Diva’s mini cupcakes are baked, from scratch, everyday by resident Baker, Caroline. | Ding-Dongs are hockey puck chocolate cakes filled with cream. |
| Their “Black & White” Cupcake, which is a chocolate cake with cream cheese buttercream consists of only the best ingredients. The rich chocolate cake is made with Valhrona Premium Cocoa, locally grown fresh eggs and Cream O’Weber whole milk. The frosting, a Swiss meringue buttercream, consists of fresh egg whites, pure sugar, and 100% real unsalted butter. | There is actually no real chocolate or cream in a Ding Dong. Ingredients: Sugar, partially hydrogenated vegetable and/or animal shortening, mono- and diglycerides, starch, whey, polysorbate 60, sorbic acid and 20 other strange ingredients we didn’t mention. |

Diva’s Cupcakes and Coffee: Vanilla Bean Cupcake with Vanilla Bean Buttercream Frosting
And yet another vanilla cupcake. 
This time from Diva’s Cupcakes and Coffee in Salt Lake City. I have to admit, I’ve only been to Diva’s maybe three times and I’m not quite sure that I’ve tried this cupcake.
But doesn’t it look so pretty?
And that frosting is calling my name.
I found this picture on Diva’s facebook fan page. It’s a vanilla bean cake with a vanilla bean buttercream frosting and (for Valentine’s Day) a cute pink heart on top.
Please, please. If any of you have tried this vanilla cupcake, comment! I want to know how it tastes!

Pretty in Pink Cupcake from Les Madeleines
Last Friday, on my way home from the airport, I made a special trip to Les Madeleines. I know this blog is about cupcakes, but I would be lying if I told you I went their just for Cupcakes. In fact, I went there for the sole purpose of their specialty the Kouing Aman. It’s the best pastry I’ve had in my life. With that said, Les Madeleine does sell cupcakes and I do like them. In fact, I think they were one of the first to have cupcakes here in Utah (Besides Mrs. Backer’s Pastry Shoppe).
I was happy to try their Pretty in Pink flavor. It’s a vanilla cupcake with a raspberry buttercream. It was very good.
When Romina makes a buttercream, she doesn’t mess around. It is in fact a BUTTERcream frosting. No doubt.
I can never decide how I want to photograph the cupcakes I get to enjoy. So here are a few shots of this pretty little cupcake.
I bought the mini and got it to go. I loved how it was placed in a little chinese takeout box.
I love the lighting on this one. the raspberry frosting was delicious. granted very buttery. but delicious, romina uses butter from vermont. i think it’s like a super high percentage of butterfat content. sweet, right!
i loved this pretty plate.
anyway, i grabbed a takeout menu and noticed that they updated (to my knowledge) all their cupcake flavors. they have fabulous names and are all inspired by the chefs travels. i really want to try the one with cardomom. i can’t remember it’s name.
head over to Les Madeleines for a cupcake…and get 6 KOUIN AMANS too!

Doris Day Cupcake at Mini’s Gourmet
Vanilla may be my favorite flavor of cupcake. But sometimes nothing beats a seasonal cupcake! I love cupcakeries that offer seasonal favorite. They often conjure memories a particular season and heck, they give us something to look forward to. Right now Mini’s is offering a DORIS DAY cupcake! Here’s what owner Leslie Fiet said on her site:
“Our new Seasonal Favorite is here! The “DORIS DAY,” it is a buttery sweet yellow cake filled with chocolate pudding (made from scratch) and topped with fresh sweet cream. I think this one is a hit and may stay as a permanent fixture to our offerings. I am also considering selling our chocolate pudding as well, it is amazing! Jell-o it is not….
I am experimenting with traditional cake favorites for a new 1930′s collection, when you come in ask what I baked that day.”
If you head over to Mini’s, snap a pix and we’ll get it on the site! Or leave a comment linking to the picture!
SugarRush Cupcakes Closed!!!
I’ve been a little behind on my posts and I was browsing cupcake sites to see what was new….and I saw this on SugarRush’s Web site:
I guess Kathy is retiring.
I’ve got mixed feelings. I’m sad that I never got to try her yummy cupcakes….but I’m happy for her and her retirement! I hope someone can fill the void that Sandy and that part of the Salt Lake Valley will be in. I know several people who love her cupcakes.
Good Luck with everything in this new chapter of your life, Kathy! Thanks for all your cupcake goodness!
Now that’s a pretty frosting job!
